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.
This is going to be a special treat for Star Trek fans like me who grew up watching the original. To Boldly Go: Rare Photos from the TOS Soundstage gives us a look at many amazing behind the scenes moments from the original show. This book has hundreds of pictures of the sets, models, actors and work that went on behind the scenes.
Below are just a few images, but there are many more. This is going to be an amazing book for your collection.
The more I see of this movie, the more excited I get. We don’t have a long wait now before Batman v Superman hits theaters. Empire Magazine has released some new photos from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice on their iPad app, and DCEU Facts shared these on Twitter. I don’t think we have seen most of these.
The movie is less than two months away. I hope it is as amazing as it looks. We see Bruce Wayne visiting a bunch of dead loved ones, Wonder Woman deflecting something with her bracers, Superman in control of the Bat Signal and much more. There’s a lot here to digest. Love the atmosphere on that concept art too.

Several vintage Star Wars shots have surfaced that show off one of the the original costume tests for Boba Fett from around 1979. These behind the scenes images from The Empire Strikes Back show the evolution of the costume. It’s interesting to note all of the minor details that were changed.
This is from very early in the costume’s evolution. Yes, technically it made its public debut at the 1978 San Anselmo Country Fair parade and the Star Wars Holiday Special, but this is a nice look at it from around that time, where we get to see it close up. Both as a whole and some shots of the gear pieces by themselves.

Chevy2who creates all kinds of amazing scenes with action figures. Below are some example from his Star Wars Flickr stream. Whether it is recreating scenes from the movies, or creating humorous scenes, he uses figures and props to make it feel real. I also love his humorous images, some of which can be seen below.
Now go lose yourself for awhile in his photos. He really creates magic and makes you feel like a kid again playing with your toys.
“V” The Original Mini-Series and the mini-series that followed are among my favorite sci-fi shows of all time. Check out this image of series creator Kenneth Johnson in the ship graveyard at Universal. It was taken after the original filming at some point. These ships were simple, yet awesome. I really wish I had some as toys or replicas.
Other images in this set include the shuttle being moved by crane. Yep, these ships actually existed as full sized props. It’s amazing they didn’t break the thing moving it around. I just love these ships. They are so…lizard people!

Blade Runner fans are going to appreciate these images. This 142 photo collection offers a behind-the-scenes look at the model shop for Blade Runner, the 1982 sci-fi classic directed by Ridley Scott. Prepare to get lost for a good long time as you delve into these.
They are mostly images of the miniatures during various stages of production. You can really see how much love and attention to detail went into all of the props for this movie and of course that shows on screen. I am really loving all of these photos.
I loved Logan’s Run when I was a kid. Both the movie and the short lived TV series. Even now that I have passed carousel age, I can still appreciate it. Check out these behind the scenes images from the show, mixed with some actual images from the episodes. These sure bring back memories.
With Hollywood making so many reboots I expect to see this title happen again fairly soon. Though I hope I’m wrong. Some things should be left alone.
Most of us know that Frank Oz, the voice of Yoda, also brought Muppets like Fozzie and Miss Piggy to life. But did you know that the Muppets once visited the set of The Empire Strikes Back? We have the pictures to prove it.
These images were recently uploaded to the internet via Imgur and it’s like being in the 1980s all over again. There are several cool shots showing Kermit and Miss Piggy on the Dagobah set with the crew. And yes that includes Mark Hamill. If these pictures don’t make you smile, you are dead inside. Or a Sith.
I absolutely love Ralph McQuarrie’s concept art from Star Wars and thanks to redditor Join_You_In_The_Sun I am in heaven looking at 100 images of Ralph McQuarrie’s art from the original trilogy.
Below are some of my favorites. I just can’t get enough of his vision of the Star Wars universe. Almost every single painting is epic and they really visually steered Star Wars into what it became on screen. Love these!
