Paramount Pictures has released the first trailer for Transformers: The Last Knight. This will be the fifth installment of the live-action Transformers movies directed by Michael (Big boom boom) Bay. The trailer shows the Transformers and humans in a war. Optimus Prime even battles Bumblebee at one point. This movie looks pretty crazy. We have humans and Transformers at war, King Arthur, Nazis and more. The film is scheduled to be released on June 23rd, 2017.
The sci-fi film Arrival was a pleasant surprise, full of unexpected twists and turns. If you haven’t seen it, make sure you check it out, it will be well worth your time. There are some aliens in the film that had some very interesting designs, but they could have looked a lot different.
Check out this concept art for the film created by Peter Konig, which shows some alternate alien designs. They are all very interesting. What do you think? Did you prefer the aliens on screen, or these?
This stunning art print from Dan Mumford based on 2001: A Space Odyssey is part of a series of 12 prints created for a show at Gallery 1988 in LA. It is absolutely gorgeous, depicting many of the visual elements that we loved from the film. It is aptly titled “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.” It is an 18″x24″ 5 color print in a limited edition of 50. You can buy it at the Gallery1988 store. I just love those colors. He really did a great job on this one. Get this one while you can folks.
Chris Pratt and Jennifer lawrence are about to have an awesome romance/adventure in the upcoming Passengers. It’s about two people who mysteriously wake up from hibernation on a spaceship way too early only to face a disaster soon after. The movie actually looks pretty fun and Pratt and Lawrence look like they work great together. They have been trying to make this movie for years and soon we will finally get a chance to see it.
A lot of Star Trek Beyond takes place on an alien planet and this concept art by Victor Martinez gives us a closer look at some designs for the planet, as well as some ships and other things that never made it on screen. It is really interesting work. Martinez did some of these early on with production designer Scott Chambliss and others were done for later reshoots with Production Designer Andrew Murdock.
It looks so grand and fantastic. I always love seeing what filmakers were thinking and seeing how things evolved.
Mike Seymour of FX Guide and Wired takes a look at the special effects used in director Justin Lin‘s Star Trek Beyond. He covers everything from the digital construction of the Starship Enterprise, to the extraterrestrials themselves. This movie had some amazing effects, so this is a fun watch. They certainly put a lot of work into this one.
Many are speculating that we may see a remake of the Back To The Future series. I sure hope not. I’m sick of reboots and remakes that are terrible. Fingers crossed that it never happens. The original trilogy should stand alone. Check out these rare behind the scenes photos from the film. These images came from the Back to the Future site Outatime. Hit them up for lots more.
When you look at this concept art from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, one thing becomes clear: This could have been a much darker movie. That probably would have been a good thing. Too bad Disney always likes to play it safe. The concept art below comes from the book, The Art of The Force Awakens, released by LucasFilm. mIt offers an interesting look at what they had originally planned.
To me Rey and Finn look much more a part of the Star Wars universe in their outfits here. BB-8 also went through several changes. I kind of like that bulky look. It’s less cutesy and more utilitarian. Kylo Ren? He could have looked far more menacing. There are so many interesting things to see here and you know what that means. I have to get this book and drool over these images.
Check out this rare look behind the scenes of E.T. with Steven Spielberg and screenwriter Melissa Mathison. It’s like entering a time machine and going all the way back to 1982. This rare interview clip was apparently captured from a long-forgotten foreign broadcast. They manage to pack a lot into this 3-minute clip.
If you ever wondered why they chose to make the story take place on Halloween, Mathison talks about this here. She also talks about the script a bit. It’s a charming little clip from a more civilized age. It is worth your 3 minute investment.
Power Rangers fans should already know that Lionsgate has been developing a new Power Rangers movie with Saban Entertainment. It will be directed by Dean Israelite. One of the other directors who didn’t get the green light worked with conceptual artists Alex Ruiz and Gregory Semkow. This is some of what they came up with. It is unique and not at all what you might expect. These images are phenomenal. There are images of The Control Room, Alpha, T-Rex Zord, Zordon, and Rita Repulsa.
Ruiz says:
“This is some concept art I made for a director who was pitching his film version of Power Rangers. If you guys remember someone made an amazing PR fan film this year, which lit the fire under many asses to get a full on Hollywood film made. So, many a director jumped at the opportunity. Unfortunately our guy didn’t get it, it went to another director. Such is the nature of the film business.”
How much do you want to bet that the movie we get is not nearly as cool as this concept art. Sad, but it will probably be true.
