Jupiter Ascending Concept Art

Jupiter Ascending is one of the most highly anticipated Sci-Fi movies of the moment. From what we’ve seen of it, it looks pretty amazing. Thankfully we don’t have long to wait since the film will be hitting theaters on the first weekend of February. That’s why Warner Bros. has launched a timely ‘Look Book’ for the film online, allowing you to explore more of this visually stunning world.

Jupiter Ascending will be released in plain old 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D on February 6th in the US and the UK. Below are some production design and concept art images that will make you even more eager to see it. If you want to see more, head over to the Look Book site. I can’t wait for this movie.

Star Trek Into Darkness Starfleet Academy Class Ring Prop Replica

Not just anyone can wear this ring. This is what the best and brightest strive for. The Starfleet Academy Class Ring! If you have what it takes, you can wear one. Maybe even Captain a starship one day. This is a 1:1 scale prop replica of the rings worn in the 2013 Star Trek Into Darkness film.

It was crafted from the actual screen-used ring and even comes in a custom lighted metal case with a clear topside window. Quantum Mechanix designed and produced the actual ring worn in the film. Now they are offering this one made using the same mold. No collection is complete without it.

Female Ghostbuster Cosplay

As we wait to see what exactly a brand new all-female Ghostbusters movie looks like, check this out. This cosplay is the work of photographer Jason Fitzsimmons of GhostbustersNews.com with Maeghan Eyre. You can check out two more shoots here and here.

This cute photo shoot actually makes me kind of eager to see what the new movie has in store for us. Maeghan looks like an authentic Ghostbuster to me. She obviously had a great time with this.

Vintage Star Wars Concept Art: The Evolution Of Boba Fett

Boba Fett didn’t originally start out with that design we know and love from Empire and Jedi. The original designs show a bounty hunter that looks closer to a Stormtrooper. Boba Fett’s design evolved during the design phase and eventually became the Mandalorian we know.

You can see the evolution below. It was still cool looking, but less defined. Not as unique. It definitely lacked character and presence. I’m glad it kept evolving, because the instant I saw Fett on screen, I knew this guy was not to be messed with. THIS was a bounty hunter that inspired fear.

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.

Stunning Babylon 5 Wallpapers

This collection of Babylon 5 wallpapers features some stunning images that you will not want to miss. I think my favorite has to be Ambassador Kosh playing the game with that Shadow creature. I already missed the show terribly, but this just makes me all the more homesick for that shining beacon in the night.

1975 Logan’s Run Studio Press Tour

Now here’s something you don’t see everyday. This short clip is a fascinating look behind the scenes at the making of Logan’s Run movie, focusing on a 1975 MGM studio press publicity tour. This movie is a classic and definitely a product of it’s era. One of my all-time favorites for sure.

This clip briefly shows the director, the producer and costume designer and more. Some of the movies costumes are also being shown off, though the Sandman uniform would be different in the film. The strangest part is near the end, when the guy modeling the Sandman uniform turns out to be David Hasselhoff. That has to be him.

Mirror Mirror Star Trek Cosplay

Ask anybody what their favorite original Star Trek episode is and 9 out of 10 people will answer, “Mirror, Mirror”. It is an amazing episode that turns everything on it’s head, taking Kirk and crew to a parallel universe. This cosplay based on the classic episode comes from Thunderfairy and we love it. Photography by Phenrriz Fotografia.

She stars as a crew member from that parallel universe and even gets to hang out with bearded Spock. Well done! This is some nice eye candy. Of course I’ve always been partial to that colorful bridge set.
