Concept Art For Rejected Power Rangers Film Actually Looks Awesome

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.

Behind The Scenes Photos of the Blade Runner Model Shop

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.

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.

See the full gallery here, along with some amazing concept art.

Ralph McQuarrie Concept Art For The Original Star Wars Trilogy

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!

Unused Back To The Future 2 Concept Art

Here we are in 2015 so it is definitely a good time to take a look at the 2015 glimpsed in Back to the Future II. It could have been even weirder. Some vintage concept art from the production has surfaced and these pieces show many designs that didn’t make the cut.

Tim Flattery, a veteran concept artist who helped create this then-future world, talked with Newsweek about the experience.

They certainly came up with a lot of wacky ideas. Had they left all of this in it probably would have been overwhelming. But it is awesome to get to see this stuff.

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.

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.
