So this is just straight up great. If you don’t know Phil Noto you should seriously check him out, his Black Widow work is beautiful, as is pretty much everything he does.
And if producing this wasn’t brilliant(/sickening!) enough, he drew the black and white the day the trailer dropped. Within hours. As in he watched the trailer then just drew this (the colours followed the next day):
As you almost certainly know, the first trailer for Star Wars Episode 7 arrived last Friday. In the unlikely event you haven’t seen it you can watch it now:
Some people liked it (me!), some people didn’t, but most importantly the internet was aflame with fanart, remixes, jokes, theories, analysis, you name it, and today we’ll have a little round up of my favourites :) As I’ve been unable to blog for the last week or so you’ll no doubt have seen a lot them anyway but hey-ho!
PS: I defy anyone not to get goosebumps at the fanfare + falcon
A mash-up of trailers from 2014.
A combination of my intense love for Jurassic Park (still the film I’ve seen on the big screen the most times, it blew my 10 year old mind, and the dinosaurs look more real than any other film dinosaur in the 21 years since) and my intense love for Chris Pratt had me pretty revved up for this trailer.
I didn’t quite leave me the way the Guardians trailer did (probably the trailer I’ve watched the most times), it was cool, I’m still very excited about it but there were a few things that niggle.
That Mosasaur was huge, right? I love that Jurassic World has a SeaWorld section, it’s so perfect, but that mosasaur is just colossal. If it gets a few jabs in about how small a space that huge creature is confined to I’m happy though.
The genetically engineered dinosaur is only a few rungs up from Sharktopus. The films are about man controlling nature, in the first they were trying to limit nature, I guess in this they’re playing God. Hopefully it won’t be too cheesy/crap.
Raptor biker gang? I’m game.
Lando -an 'impossibly handsome' clone- had a great monologue (and more of a backstory) in the first draft of EMPIRE. pic.twitter.com/hczJOt75qG
