The Ellen Brandt Fight Could Have Been Much Bigger in IRON MAN 3 Storyboards by Darrin Denlinger

Iron Man Three (2013) - Ellen Brandt (Stephanie Szostak)

Check out Iron Man 3 storyboards by Darrin Denlinger!

The scene where Tony Stark goes to Rose Hill North Carolina and fights Ellen Brandt (Stephanie Szostak) is a highlight, but it could have been very different. Storyboard artist Darren Denlinger sent me some exclusive storyboards from Iron Man 3 that show an explosive battle between Brandt and Stark that raged across the small town. Denlinger said "it was trimmed to fit locations." Darren Denlinger is a professional storyboard artist who's worked on big budget films like Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007), The Avengers (2012) and Captain America: The First Avenger (2011).

While some scenes are the same, like burning through the sheriff to get the gun, others are completely different like blowing up Brandt with a car instead of a microwave. Plus, the character is called Frost instead of Brandt.

The Flash (2014) concept art by John Gallagher

Check out Arrow and The Flash concept art by Andy Poon and John Gallagher!

The Flash is a hit and is the highest rated show of The CW Network so rumors started circulating of the inevitable second season order of the show. CW Tampaclaimed that the show was coming back next season, but they recently added the note: "Editors note: An earlier post incorrectly stated that The Flash and Jane The Virgin had been picked up for season 2, when the ratings and critical acclaim earned both shows full orders for their first season."

Two major villains on both Arrow and The Flashare Ras Al Ghul and Leonard Snart (AKA Captain Cold). Recently concept art for both characters have shown up online by Andy Poon and John Gallagher.

Andy Poon and John Gallagher are professional concept illustrators who've worked on major projects like Mockingbird Lane (2012), V (2009) and Arrow (2013).

Ras Al Ghul concept art by Andy Poon

"So here is my concept illustrations of the 'Demon' himself once again working with the fantastic costume designer Maya Mani and her costume department. I did this illustration before they cast the actor Matt Nable. There were rumors that 'The Mummy returns" actor Oded Fehr was on the list and Niam Neeson from the Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight triology is interested, so I tried to gave my Ra's a hybrid of both actors' qualities." - Andy Poon

Here's what Ras Al Ghul looks like in the comics

Captain Cold concept art by John Gallagher

"Concept piece for Captain Cold with New 52 look for The Flash. We went in a different direction but d*** Wentworth looks bad**s holding the cold gun I had the pleasure of designing. Stay tuned for plenty more Rogues villainy!"- John Gallagher

Official Arrow Synopsis
"After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. When he returns home to Starling City, his devoted mother Moira, much-beloved sister Thea, and best friend Tommy welcome him home, but they sense Oliver has been changed by his ordeal on the island. While Oliver hides the truth about the man he's become, he desperately wants to make amends for the actions he took as the boy he was. Most particularly, he seeks reconciliation with his former girlfriend, Laurel Lance. As Oliver reconnects with those closest to him, he secretly creates the persona of Arrow – a vigilante – to right the wrongs of his family, fight the ills of society, and restore Starling City to its former glory. By day, Oliver plays the role of a wealthy, carefree and careless philanderer he used to be – flanked by his devoted chauffeur/bodyguard, John Diggle – while carefully concealing the secret identity he turns to under cover of darkness. However, Laurel's father, Detective Quentin Lance, is determined to arrest the vigilante operating in his city. Meanwhile, Oliver's own mother, Moira, knows much more about the deadly shipwreck than she has let on – and is more ruthless than he could ever imagine.

Awe-Inspiring THE BLACK HOLE Concept Art by Peter Ellenshaw

The Black Hole (1979) concept art by Peter Ellenshaw

Check out The Black Hole concept art by Peter Ellenshaw!

Every Friday I feature artwork from a classic of science fiction cinema or television. This week's "Flashback Friday" post is on The Black Hole (1979)

The movie The Black Hole, about a team of space explorers discovering a mysterious lost ship on the edge of a massive black hole, was a commercial failure. But it received two Academy Award nominations for Best Visual Effects and Best Cinematography. One of the artists working on the film, along with Robert T. McCall, was Peter Ellenshaw. Film critic Leonard Malton said Peter Ellenshaw was "one of the titans of visual effects in an era before people took visual special effects for granted. When you see London Harbor full of tall-masted schooners in 'Treasure Island,' that's an Ellenshaw painting. When Mary Poppins sails over the rooftops of London, that's an Ellenshaw painting."

Peter Ellenshaw was an Academy Award winning special effects artist and matte painter who worked on classic Hollywood films like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954), The Absent-Minded Professor (1961) and Dick Tracy (1990).

Official The Black Hole Summary
"The U.S.S. Cygnus is perched precariously at the edge of a black hole -- the vast, empty nothingness where space and time end. Anything that crosses its border enters a universe of the complete unknown. And so begins a story that only Disney's film magicians could tell. A story of robots and humanoids. Of human genius and madness. And a spectacular descent into nature's ultimate mystery -- The Black Hole."Directed by Gary Nelson
Cinematography by Frank Phillips
Production Design by NAME
Starring Maximilian Schell, Anthony Perkins, Robert Forster, Joseph Bottoms, Yvette Mimieux
Release Dates: December 21, 1979

Marvel at Immense Scale of GODZILLA in Concept Art by Ryan Church

Godzilla (2014) concept art by Ryan Church

Check out Godzilla concept art by Ryan Church!

One of the things that was different about the last Godzilla film is that it really showed the scale and size of the creatures destrying the city. Director Gareth Edwards told Collider, "We were trying to harken back to that style of filmmaking from the late 70′s and the early 80′s that we all grew up with that, for me, are the movies that made me want to get into filmmaking, get back to that a bit more.  The restraint that they had before they had computer graphics." His film has an amazing sense of how truly large the creatures are and part of that was achieved by showing only bits and pieces of the creature. Concept art by Ryan Church shows how truly immense the creatures are using angles and camera perspective.

Ryan Church is a professional concept artist who's worked on Hollywood blockbusters like Star Trek (2009), Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

Check out Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khanconcept art by Robert Fletcher!


Every Friday I feature artwork from a classic of science fiction cinema. This week's "Flashback Friday" post is on Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1984).

In the first Star Trek movie they redeisgned the costumes from the original series, but fans were unhappy with them. Costume designer Robert Fletcher told Starlog Magazine "I don’t blame them. I didn’t like them much myself!" When the studio started developing the sequel there was a small amount of money available for new costume design designs.

Robert "Bob" Fletcher Wycoff was a professional costume designer who worked on big budget films like Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984) and The Last Starfighter (1984).

Director Nicholas Meyer told Fletcher he wanted "Hornblower in outer space" and pushed for a militaristic Naval design for the new film. "[Gene] Roddenberry always contended that the Federation is not a military organization. Fletcher said told Cinemafastique, "Yet they always behaved as if it were They have ranks, they have military courtesy, and Kirk is definitely in command on his ship."

Fletcher's designs became the standard for the original Star Trek cast movies and have become tradition.
