Star Wars III: Behind The Scenes Photos

If you are a fan of the Star Wars prequels, check out these fascinating and not-so-often-seen behind the scenes photos. Even if you hate the prequels, you can’t help but respect all of the hard work that went on behind the scenes of this final installment.

Yes it had a ton of CGI, but this movie also had some massive sets and a ton of prop work and models as can be seen in some of the images below.

Terminator 2 Set Photos and Concept Art

Do you love Terminator 2? Of course you do. Check out these behind the scenes photos from James Cameron’s classic 1991 film. The images come from Stan Winston’s special effects work shop. I really love that pic of the Schwarzenegger prop with the chest exposed. Look at all of that detail.

It’s easy to see why this movie is so amazing and holds up so well. And those Arnold busts are super creepy. One is surprised. The other looks mean.

Beautiful Batgirl Cosplay

Alexia Jean Grey is deadly, but beautiful in this Batgirl cosplay. She has an intensity that says you should keep your distance, but you can’t help wanting to approach her. The costume is really top notch. Adam Jay from Superhero Photography pulled off an amazing photoshoot.

Batgirl feels very unique and Jester Fx did an amazing job with details on the armor. Everything about this costume makes my heart flutter when I’m wearing it. Getting a great shot with her isn’t finding the right pose, it’s projecting emotion through my gaze.

Behind The Scenes Photos From The Making Of Dune

Critics can complain all they want about how David Lynch’s version of Dune is not a great adaptation, but you know what? I don’t care. The universe that the team created in this film completely captured my imagination when it came out and I enjoyed the hell out of it.

The visuals and atmosphere in this movie are truly magnificent. I can still watch it to this day and see things I didn’t notice the first time. It’s really fun to get a glimpse behind the scenes and to see them building this world.

The Batman Store Set That Was Cut From Batman Returns

Now here is something that I would have loved to see in the 1989 movie Batman Returns. At some point, the director made a slight change to the script that resulted in this awesome Batman store being cut from the film.

According to 1989 Batman, the original draft of the script had a Batman store in downtown Gotham selling all kinds of Dark Knight goodies. The set designers had already built the store and had it fully stocked before it got the axe. At least we have pictures.

Behind The Scenes Of The Dark Knight Trilogy

With Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice still being a year and a half away from theaters, we need a Batman fix now more than ever. Well, feast your eyes on these behind the scenes images from Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy.

Luckily for us these movies were very well documented, so we get to take a look at what went on behind the camera. Nolan really nailed Batman and even if I didn’t care for much of The Dark Knight Rises, Nolan really understood Batman in a way that other filmmakers have not.

Alien Makeup Designs from Guardians Of The Galaxy

These are some really nice behind the scenes photos that show off different alien makeup designs created for Guardians of the Galaxy. You have to love the retro look and feel of this movie and admire all of the practical effects that were used to pull it off. These designs have so much detail!

Dave White, the special effects makeup designer helped to create the designs for Gamora, Drax, Nebula, Yondu, Korath, and other aliens. They are all done practically and are free from modern alien design influences. The end results in the film were simply amazing. You’ll find more at the link.

Behind the Scenes Photos of Metropolis

Check out these amazing behind the scenes photographs from the classic sci-fi movie Metropolis from 1927. This was a gargantuan production for its time. Looking at all of these images, that is what really strikes you. The entire thing was massive.

Today massive productions are nothing and millions are spent just procuring actors alone. These photos really give you a sense of the sheer enormity of putting this movie together in that era and it really paved the way for many movies that came after it. The story represented in these stills are like a movie behind the movie. Love these.

Empire Strikes Back Set Photo: “Good Times On Hoth”

Check out this vintage photo from the set of The Empire Strikes Back via @mccrabb_will. The caption reads “Good times on Hoth.” Just look at those smiles. These three must know that they are making film history. In the process, they are obviously having a good time.

Carrie Fisher has her hair down and is all smiles. Who doesn’t like seeing old set photos from the old Star Wars films? This picture is proof that it was a magical time behind the scenes as well as in front of the camera.
