Update! WORLD CLASS AUTOMOTIVE FILM & ART FESTIVAL adds two great new movies!
This event is really shifting into second gear now as we’ve added two brand new films! The first being “SNAKE & MONGOOSE” based on a true story of two… well, you know these guys and their cool Hot Wheels… PLUS, another great film called “1,” (ONE) about the tremendous history of F1 Racing. Click the links for the info. The Producers will be on hand and I’ll be interviewing them. (I’ll try not to drool as I usually do…)
Make sure you join the SNAKE & MONGOOSE Twitter here to get some updates. Cool.
Fireball’s ACTION MOVIEBITS… Star Wars 7, Capt Phillips, Wolverine Concepts, Beverly Hills Cop
⢠Kathleen, George and J.J. have chosen John Williams to score STAR WARS 7… and 8… and 9. Instead of a wand… he now gets a real teeny lightsaber.
⢠CAPTAIN PHILLIPS Poster puts Tom Hanks in a sticky situation. No, not the actual poster, dummy. It’s the mooovie. What I meant to say was…. oh, just forget it!
⢠Josh Nizzi’s WOLVERINE Concept Art is off the chart…
⢠New BEVERLY HILLS COPS movie gets Mission Impossible writer. Good. ‘Cause that’s gonna be an impossible script…
Fireball’s COOLEST CARS of the week are… well, cool.
Why post cool cars? Um… you even need to ask?
Fine, go sit in the corner and contemplate your existence. If you figure it out, come back and tell me which car you’re going to rock.
Sunday CONCEPT ART is killa…
Great Sunday Concept Art for the visionary in you. Take a load off today and enjoy.
The MALIBU ARTS FESTIVAL brings out the best in everyone… #art #artist #sketch #paint #malibu
Each year, the Malibu Arts Festival snags artists from all over the state to share in a couple of days of community beauty and fun. It’s really a great show as the only thing better than the art is the people. So, I grabbed my 3 favorite Malibu Babes (Bride of Fireball, Janine Waldbaum and Hannah Mulholland) and we set out to scour for coolness… And coolness we found.
Very grateful to have met these folks and you should check them out asap, either at the show or at their links below.
Some spectacular sculpture from SILVIA CHAIT conveyed a tremendous sense of tranquility as we stood there talking art… for about 1/2 hour! She was awesome and cute as all heck. Other top artists were ROBERT SHERMAN WILSON with his wild, wacky and joyful paintings (This dude knew color)… TIME McCLENDON’S incredible metal sculptures that were bright, passionate and cheerful (Even if one looked like an exploded slinky! They we extraordinary)… MICHEAL KELLEY’S framed mirrors and furniture expressed a very unique and timeless architecture, perfectly executed. You gotta get one of these! (kelley3@roadrunner.com)
NOBE’S Sculpture of the Bull and Child, King Kong and more were bronzed masterpieces (Just one conversation with him and you could feel the genius)… Art by KALEO brought us back to Universal Truth with his collection of Soda Pop Positive Art (SOda awesome!)… A super BIG dollar bill carving by STEVE GOMEZ made me want to make a Table of Prosperity to ensure the flow of dough… and finally a stunning piece of Swimming Leopards by WAYNE WEBER BAUER. Color, Texture and Depth. These guys were the best of the best…
If you want to see the real deal, then head to the Bu this weekend for some eye popping emotional art and take home something to make your pad perfect. It’s just the thing to bring coolness…
Watch out!!! It’s a RANDOM FIREBALL!!!!! SPLAT! #random #cool #whales
What is a Random Fireball? It’s a weird, wacky, wild and sometimes completely nuts set of photos that mean absolutely nothing but will make you ponder your existence. (Like the above NY Grand Canyon) Or at least ponder whether you should get some coffee… Doosh.
Fireball’s ACTION MOVIEBITS… Star Wars 7, Batman/Superman, Avengers 2, X-Men #superman #batman #starwars #avengers
⢠New BATMAN-SUPERMAN Mashup Movie coming in 2015. Can Superman even fly at night?
⢠Are Zac Efron and Ryan Gosling in STAR WARS EPISODE 7? Possibly… But you didn’t hear it from me. Unless, they are… to which you can now send me chocolate.
⢠James McTeigue (V for Vendetta, Ninja Assassin, The Raven) is rebooting Jean Claude’s BLOODSPORT. Wow, another remake. Think I’ll get in line to not see it.
⢠Loki will be back in AVENGERS 2: AGE OF ULTRON. Why? ‘Cause he’s got a cool British accent and that makes the perfect smart bad guy. Always.
⢠SAVING MR. BANKS Poster is all Mickey. Yes, Tom Hanks returns as another awesome Superhero we love…
⢠X-MEN DAYS OF FUTURES PAST Posters are EXtremely diverse. Not. (After the Jump)
Movie CONCEPT ART from the best… #concept art #movies
I’ve done a lot of movies as a concept guy, so I can appreciate the level to which this guys have brought the world of movie design home. Some great pieces today from ALAN WIND, IVAN KHOMENKO & Christian Lorenzscheurer…
   
Fireball’s ACTION MOVIEBITS… Mel in EX3, Cruise, Tron3, T4 & tons @tron #movies #actionmovies
⢠Stallone tweeted Mad Max vs. Barney Ross. That can only mean that Mel Gibson is the baddie in EXPENDABLES 3. He’s not a bad guy, but just plays one.
⢠Tom Cruise (above) is sporting new gear in EDGE OF TOMORROW. (Formerly known as ALL YOU NEED IS KILL.) Cool thing is… you’ll be able to buy these suits at WalMart soon.
⢠More I, FRANKENSTEIN posters pit good vs evil vs the audience wallet.
⢠TRON3 Update from Director, Joe Kosinski… “Both projects are being written right now by two really talented writers. Jon Spaihts is writing Black Hole and Jesse Wigutow is writing TRON 3. Both scripts are in progress, Iâm really excited about both. The fundamental ideas of both are really interesting. The TRON sequel kind of takes where we left off with âLegacy,â that idea presented in the last few minutes of the film and really expands on it in a really exciting way.” Cool. The Black Tron Hole Three…
⢠TRANSFORMERS 4 opens June 27, 2014. It’s Pacific Rim and Friday Night Lights with a wee bit of pissed-offed-ness.
⢠HUNGER GAMES posters reveal the Babe Squadron… Get in line now.
⢠First shot of Sean Penn in THE GUNMAN. He’s goin’ action, and I’m goin’ with him.
⢠First shot from THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2. Webby is gunnin’ for goons…
⢠Christopher Nolan’s INTERSTELLAR adds Timothee Chalamet and Mackenzie Foy to the cast which already has Michael Caine, Anne Hathaway, Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, Casey Affleck, and Bill Irwin. Gonna be stellar…
