Some early concept art for David Ayer’s Suicide Squad film has surfaced. It features work that was done by concept artist Peter Mitchell Rubin and some of the pieces show us what King Shark would have looked like and well as what Mark Strong would have looked like as The Joker
There’s a whole collection of concept art to see, but the King Shark stuff is my favorite. I love King Shark and I’m really hoping that James Gunn includes him in Suicide Squad 2. It would be even more awesome if Dave Bautista was the actor to play him because he’d be perfect.
This would be such a interesting character to see brought to life in a live-action film. King Shark is a humanoid shark that has super strength, berserker strength, superhuman durability, and enhanced senses.
King Shark is also as intelligent as a human.

Suicide Squad didn’t turn out the way that many DC fans had hoped it would. A main focus of the criticism for David Ayer’s 2016 anti-hero team-up film was Jared Leto’s Joker, as the actor’s take on the Clown Prince of Crime as a studly mob boss with grills and tattoos everywhere didn’t exactly endear himself to longtime lovers of Batman’s nemesis. This newly-unearthed concept art, though, shows us that Suicide Squad could have featured a very different Joker.
A piece by senior concept artist Peter Mitchell Rubin has found its way online this week and reveals that he was imagining Mark Strong as the character. With a Heath Ledger-like Glasgow smile and creepy whited-out right eye, this depiction of an intimidating, sinister-looking supervillain is about as far as you can get from Leto’s twisted Romeo to Harley Quinn’s Juliet. That being said,...

Recently unearthed Suicide Squad concept art has given us a look at two unused characters that never made it to the movie. One was a frankly completely hilarious looking take on King Shark, with the concept of a shark-man in a Hawaiian shirt perhaps being a little crazier than the film was willing to go. The other, however, might give us the first glimpse of the Dceu’s take on one of the most iconic Batman villains of the 1990s: Bane.
Now, you’re going to have to squint a bit, but I think the piece of concept art below shows Bane’s mask tucked away in the lower left corner. That, or it could just be a random skull. You decide.

Transcendence opened and you'd hardly know it given the estimated $11.2 million opening weekend total. Critics slammed it, resulting in a 20% at RottenTomatoes and opening night audiences awarded it a "C+" CinemaScore. At least, however, those people went to see it. For all the bitching and moaning I see online over the number of reboots, sequels and remakes in cinemas it's a little disappointing to see an original sci-fi idea so easily dismissed (and I'm sure some of you just stopped reading to rushing to the comments to tell me how unoriginal it is, though I'll argue with you until I'm blue in the face). I thought these were the films the audience wanted, but based on the box office receipts it seems the general population is more than satisfied with more Marvel movies, animated sequels, young adult adaptations and religious pics. In fact, look at the success of films such as Noah,...

Before Vince Gilligan went off to tell a story about a high school chemistry teacher that gets cancer and turns to cooking and selling meth to pay for his treatment, he was working on the screenplay to Will Smith's Hancock. At that time, the script was known as Tonight He Comes and was about: "a superhero alcoholic who could not make love because if he climaxed, he would kill a woman with the power of his climax." That version was described as "dark" and "twisted." Clearly, we didn't get to see that version in Peter Berg's Hancock, but we can take a glimpse of it with storyboards that were created by storyboard artist Peter Rubin. "In the original version, Bateman's character tries to set Hancock up with a new, do-gooder, Superman-like image, and debuts it at a big fundraising event with giant corporate sponsors and name music acts.

Was Man Of Steel influenced by John Carter, Dune and fascist art? We examine the design of the summer's most elaborate-looking film...
Note: this article contains spoilers for Man Of Steel.
When word got round that a big-screen reboot of Superman was in the offing, the natural question was, how would Warner differentiate what would become Man Of Steel from Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns - a movie sometimes criticised for its reliance on evoking fond memories of the 70s and 80s Christopher Reeve movies.
The answer, it seems, was to emphasise the science fiction angle of the Superman story. This was an aspect only lightly touched on in the 1978 film, which instead evoked a sense of fantastical, almost biblical awe. While the religious symbolism remains in Man Of Steel - and is used particularly strongly in some shots, with Kal-El’s arms spread...

Designs & Descriptions by Peter Rubin "My first shots at the shield of the house of El. Suggestions came from all over, but I had my eye on the prize from early on. You'll notice at the upper right, something very much like the one we ended with." - Peter Rubin "Once Zack had honed in on his preferred style, we still kept pushing the boundaries, sometimes in subtle ways. This is good. It gives you confidence, once a direction is chosen but before a final call is made, that you haven't left anything important untried. The version at the upper left though, was still Zack's favorite." "Then we started playing with 3D, and with colors… Here we were trying out a color arrangement inspired by the Max Fleischer Superman Cartoons of the 1940s. This version wasn't yet as graceful or graphically correct as it would come to be later." "The...

Film Sketchr has conducted a lengthy and fascinating interview with concept artist, Peter Rubin, in which they discuss his contributions on Zack Snyder's Man Of Steel. Film Sketchr: What kind of things did you design for the film? Peter Rubin: I conceptualized a lot of the Kryptonian tech in 3D, often in collaboration with other artists working in 2D. Most importantly to me, the "S" glyph, and The Starcraft, were entirely, or mostly, mine. Plus whole lot of smaller stuff, like the control panels that Jor-El and Lara use. The stasis pods in the Scout Ship. The device that cradles Kal-El in his father's laboratory and absorbs the Codex, before he's put into the Starcraft. Those ubiquitous standing control panels. All of that came primarily from me, with guidance from Alex. Film Sketchr asked about the process and the challenges that Peter Rubin encountered while designing the new "S" Shield,...

Peter is a true pioneer in the field of concept art. He was one of the first to completely go all digital. He has contributed to many films, most recently Green Lantern and The Three Musketeers. Peter Rubin revealed to the website Film Sketchr that he is the man behind the new "S" insignia upon Henry Cavill's chest. While reviews have varied for much of the costume, not too many have voiced disapproval of the redesigned chest logo. Well, Man of Steel comes out in 2013. I've left some fingerprints on that. I spent nine months working with Alex on the details of Krypton. Like I said, he's a thinker... for him, it was all about the aesthetic and the culture of these aliens - characters that everybody thinks they already know, which made it all the more challenging. He was very particular, which drove me to work hard to...

Martin Campbell's Green Lantern had a ton of issues. The pacing was utterly bizarre, the story wasn't great, and the CGI was overdone. Another problematic area was the look of the film's central villain, Parallax, which fans rebelled against much in the same way people complained when it was revealed that Galactus was nothing more than a cloud in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. You can understand what the filmmakers were going for, but the truth is that the final design ended up not being so great. But what designs were rejected in favor of the one that made its way into the final cut? Artist Peter Rubin has posted a full gallery of rejected Parallax concept art. According to the site, Rubin was approached in 2008 - when the movie was still in very early stages - and he worked on the movie for four and a...

Conan O'Brien has refused to play along with NBC's plan to move "The Tonight Show" and return Jay Leno to late-night, abruptly derailing the network's effort to resolve its scheduling mess.O'Brien said in a statement Tuesday that shifting "Tonight" will "seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting," and he expressed disappointment that NBC had given him less than a year to establish himself as host at 11:35 p.m. Est.O'Brien is in line to make approximately $30 million from NBC if he is replaced on "The Tonight Show" or if the show is canceled, said a source close to the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to speak about it publicly. However, the source said the sum would not apply just for moving O'Brien to a later time slot.
