The Last Starfighter: Xur’s Revenge Art Print

The Last Starfighter Xur's Revenge Art Print
The Last Starfighter is one of those classics that holds a special place in my heart. While Alex Rogan was playing the arcade game on screen and getting recruited to fight in a space war, I was one of those real life kids playing the arcade games for real. It was amazing to imagine that one of these games could maybe set me on an epic space adventure.

That’s probably why I love this The Last Starfighter: Xur’s Revenge Art Print so much. Yep, this is pretty much how a sequel poster would look today. We never got a sequel to this gem of a movie, but maybe one day…

You can purchase it here.

Rick Baker Reveals Early Creepier E.T. Designs

We all know E.T. as Steven Spielberg’s lovable alien, but he wasn’t always so lovable. According to Uproxx, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial started as a horror movie. The alien seen here would have taken your Reese’s Pieces by force and it would have probably been very bloody.

The original plan was to make a horror sequel to Close Encounters of the Third Kind, where a group of aliens would harass some poor family. The working title was Night Skies and it would have been directed by Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s Tobe Hooper. These aliens are a far cry from the lovable little guy we met in the 80s.
