Concept Art From Steven Spielberg’s Robopocalypse

It’s been awhile since Steven Spielberg has made a sci-fi action film, but we are always game to watch what he throws our way. In 2013, he postponed work on his adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson’s best-selling novel Robopocalypse. But we can now have a look at what might have been. This is some intriguing stuff.

He was working on the film for several years. Chris Hemsworth, Anne Hathaway and Ben Whishaw were even cast. But t some point it was announced that the script needed a lot more work. Plus it was apparently “too expensive to produce.” Who knows if we will ever see it finished, but here are a few images by artist Patrick Janicke.

Whimsical Star Wars Spaceships And Vehicle Artwork

You’ve never seen the Star Wars ships and vehicles looking so cute. I know that I’ve never seen a pie-eyed Death Star before anyway. This set of 6 prints from Herosquares is going to look amazing on your walls. It shows your love of Star Wars without being too serious.

I think the AT-AT is my favorite because he looks so derpy. You get 6 original 8.5″ x 8.5″ glossy card stock prints signed by the artist. These are perfect for a kids room. You get Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing fighter, Darth Vader’s Tie Fighter, Boba Fett’s Slave-1, Han Solo’s Millenium Falcon, an AT-AT & The Death Star!

This Presentation Reel Shows What John Carter Could Have Been

One thing we should all take away from Disney’s recent attempt at John Carter is that it is really hard to make the Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Barsoom novels on film. In 2012, Andrew Stanton’s adaptation bombed at the box office. Now, a Presentation Reel of another adaptation has surfaced, and we get to see what might have been.

This reel was put together by director Kerry Conran and it shows off some amazing visuals from concept art that was created for the adaptation. There is also some action and fight scenes. There are many similarities, but it has more of a pulp feel for sure. It sure looks like a better and more sweeping adaptation. Sadly, we will likely never see it fully realized on screen, which is a real shame.

Repurposed Sci-Fi Vintage Vinyl Record Clocks

VinylEvolution sells all kinds of cool vintage vinyl records that have been turned into amazing geek clocks. They have everything from Batman to Jurassic Park to Star Wars and the Terminator. They are groovy and geeky. Pun intended. They would look great in any mancave or geeked out home. The details are super nice and they are affordable. I’m not sure how they are cutting them so nicely, but the end result is pretty amazing.

If they don’t have the theme you are looking for they will probably make it for you.

Terminator: Genisys Concept Art

We know a fair bit about Terminator: Genisys’ plot already. The movie releases in just a few days. It looks like John Connor sends Kyle Reese back in time to save his mother Sarah from the Terminators before he is born. But this time around, when Kyle arrives in 1984, Sarah is already waiting for him. And she has brought her own Terminator.

I bet he didn’t expect that. Those scenes have been shown in all of the trailers, but the trailers haven’t shown us much about the future in this movie. This concept art from the upcoming book Terminator Genisys: Resetting the Future by David S. Cohen helps to shed some light on the darker grittier future in this movie. Not to mention all of the other concept art that we can’t see yet.

Sci-Fi Wood Burning Art

GeekBurning makes all kinds of Sci-Fi wood burning art. This stuff would look great on your wall. Especially if you already have some geek themed decor. The seller makes everything from Battlestar Galactica, to Star Wars and Doctor Who wood burnings.

I especially love the wood burnings of the packages of Stars Wars trading cards. They are very nicely detailed and each a true work of art.

Mars Attacks! Martian Figure Model Kit

Ack! Ack! The Martians are invading. Can you believe it has been over 50 years since the Topps Mars Attacks! Trading Cards came on the scene? You can celebrate the phenomenon with this Mars Attacks! Martian Figure Model Kit.
This cool model has an attacking Martian with a street-scene base and a melted victim.

You’ll need your own paint and glue. When you are finished, it will display nicely in your collection. This model is about 1:8 scale and nicely detailed.

Doctor Who Cyberman Head Mug

I knew those handles on the sides of their heads would come in handy one day. You can even call this Doctor Who Cyberman Head Mug “Handles” if you want. He won’t mind. He’s too busy holding your favorite beverage to care.

This is the perfect mug for your morning coffee, allowing you to reboot and upgrade rather than delete. Plus it looks great wherever it sits.
