‘Black Swan’ Production Design Featurette

A great featurette for Darren Aronofosky’s Black Swan recently released to InConnection. In this short four minute section, we get a taste of what Aronofosky and production designer Thérèse DePrez were thinking when it came time to set the tone of the atmosphere in which the actors would interact with. The featurette hints on how colors and props were integrated throughout the film encompassing story arc and character development. It’s a neat little feature that you should watch embedded after the break!

Alex Pardee ‘Sucker Punch’ Character Posters

Alex Pardee, illustrator/artist, has been working with writer/director Zack Snyder with some character design posters for Sucker Punch. His bunny design is shown on the mech unit and more of his work will be seen throughout the film as well. Pardee created character posters for Comic-con, which were posted on io9.com. They are pretty vibrant in color and imagery and my assumption that there is some water color environment added to them. You can check them out after the break!

Zack Snyder’s ‘Sucker Punch’ Delivers a Surprising Blow

Sucker Punch has been described as Alice in Wonderland with machine guns, but I would like to believe, coming from Zack Snyder’s mind, that it will be so much more than that. Little has been said or revealed about this production until the San Diego Comic-Con hit this weekend. Not only has the website launched with a great visual homepage, but six character posters were also released that display the lovely and dangerous women of Sucker Punch. This is Snyder’s first original story that he has been writing for a few years during all his adaptations and remakes (Dawn of the Dead, Watchmen, 300, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole). With his great visionary sense and a keen eye for action sequences, this film should have a great look to it. This will be a great way to kick-off 2011 and I cannot wait for this adventure to unfold. Check out the posters, homepage and more after the break!

When Worlds Collide: Futurama Meets The X-Men

Futurama X-Men

GottaBeCarl, on DeviantArt, created a unique take on clashing two big properties, X-Men and Futurama, into a great artistic display of nerdgasm.

He notes, “A friend of mine suggested one day that it would be cool to see the characters of Futurama as X-Men and so I drew him Fry as Cyclops. For some reason I couldn’t just stop there…and what came of it was a pretty extensive illustration with some of the most obscure characters from both the X-Men and Futurama universes.”
