Roland Emmerich (Stargate, Independence Day, Moonfall): "For me, seeing Close Encounters of the Third Kind was nearly a religious experience. I saw it on the first day in Paris in a huge theater and in English. After I saw it, I immediately got back in line and saw it again".
1/3
"It's stull my favorite film of all time. All my films are somewhat modeled after that film".
2/3
His next movie, Moonfall, will bring us in space (again).
3/3
(for my part, I don't think blockbusters will be the same, with the need to earn 800 million or 1 billion to be profitable, but that's another story)

Another Dune (French) book in crowdfunding, by the @Rockyramacrue

Covert art by @AlexJayBrady <3
@Rockyramacrue @AlexJayBrady I mean, Alex Jay Brady -a celebrated artist since the beginning of this account- has transcribed the universe of Dune so well in recent years. These illustrations will be perfect on paper (even if you don't read French ^^).
There is even a poster!

Avatar (2009): The Valkyrie, SSTO-TAV-37 B-class shuttlecraft, design by Ryan Church.
A personal favorite, in the almost-realistic side of scifi.

The Valkyrie and the ISV Venture Star will have their own Spaceshipper design article.

Art by Ryan Church.

Dave Filoni about Joe Johnston's Star Wars sketchbooks:

"When you opened the pages of these books, it was as if a flood of imagination poured out! By observing the different stages of development of the design of an X-Wing ship, or a creature like the Rancor, we..."

1/3
"...we understood all the thoughts that had been invested in this creation, and why they had arrived at this final result that worked so well. But I was equally impressed with the designs that had been scrapped along the way, and would have been worthy of being in a movie."
2/3
"I remembered it many years later, and I went back to this veritable treasure room filled with great ideas. I never tried to reinvent anything, nor to impose my mark on this universe."

The Phantom Menace (1999): Theed, a city of giants. Image

First, in California as in Leavesden UK, you have to start preproduction using drawings by Doug Chiang and study models. ImageImageImageImage
