Blade Runner: Original Matte Paintings And Sketches

Have a look at a bunch of original matte paintings and sketches from Blade Runner. I’ve lost a ton of time just looking at all of these. It’s always fascinating to see where these things began and how they came to be. It’s no wonder Blade Runner’s world was so alive. These paintings and drawings set the scene and tone. I could look at these all day and come away as impressed as I was when I first saw them.

WALL-E/The Martian Mashup Trailer

By now you’ve seen Ridley Scott’s new sci-fi movie The Martian. It looks like it might be one of the year’s best films, but would you expect anything less from Ridley Scott?

Well, check out this new mashup from YouTuber Tony D. It has audio from The Martian trailer mixed with video from Pixar’s WALL-E. The second video is a shot by shot comparison with The Martian’s real trailer. They did an excellent job on this one.

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.

Alien Space Jockey Maquette Now Available For Pre-Order

Sideshow Collectibles makes some great Alien figures, but this latest announcement is for one of the coolest Alien collectibles ever. The Alien Space Jockey Alien Maquette is arriving in late 2015/early 2016 and boy is it beautiful.

It measures 21″ H x 18″ W x 23″ L and is based on the character in Ridley Scott’s 1979 sci-fi horror classic Alien. Take a look at some of the images. The detail on this thing will blow you away. Totally worth the $599.99 asking price.

Long before Prometheus uncovered the origins of the Engineer and his species, the mysterious ‘Space Jockey’ captured the imaginations of movie-goers around the globe. First encountered by the doomed crew of the ship Nostromo, the haunting discovery of the enormous lonely star gazer remains one of the most memorable moments in the Alien franchise. Based on the iconic bio-organic industrial designs of Swiss artist H. R. Giger, Sideshow’s artists have faithfully captured every detail of the fossilized sentinel, a tragic traveler who fell victim to his own lethal cargo and was forever frozen, trapped in time and space.

Great (Ridley) Scott! Pris Blade Runner Cosplay

Great (Ridley) Scott!This visually arresting Pris cosplay from the sci-fi classic Blade Runner is from Merrypranxter. Much like Daryl Hannah in the movie, I could watch MerryPranxter pose and dance around all day, acting silly. The photographer is Natasha Day.

Merrypranxter says, “I love cosplaying Pris because it just makes me feel like a bad-ass. Which is pretty much the OPPOSITE of me in real life. When i put her on at conventions I always have the best time!” You and everyone watching. Great job. You nailed it.
