The Hunters are Back!

Time for another movie trailer! This time it features the cult monsters Arnold Schwarzenegger fought against in the eighties. No, not terminators. The ones lurking in the jungle are...

Movie Trailer - Knight and Day

In the upcoming Knight and Day Tom Cruise plays a super spy who takes Cameron Diaz on a worldwide journey in this adventurous action comedy. Who wouldn't want to go and see a movie with men wearing dark sunglasses, driving black cars. Let the ride begin...

Movie Trailer - Inception

Time for another teaser, this time for a science fiction movie starring Leonardo diCaprio. It has been described as:

A contemporary science fiction tale set within the architecture of the human mind.(traileraddict.com)

Sounds like just the movie for a Mindbender...

Movie Trailer - The A Team

They're back! Yes, the time has finally come for a remake of the cult TV-series The A Team, popular in the eighties. Starring Liam Neeson and Jessica Biel among others, this movie will be one of the most action-packed adventures of the summer:

Movie Trailer - Sherlock Holmes

From Robin Hood it's not a such a huge step over to another legendary hero: Sherlock holmes. Now the foggy streets of Victorian London has been brought to life again, starring Robert Downey Jr as the detective who makes even the most complex puzzles "elementary" through logical reasoning.

I'm really looking forward to once again visiting Baker Street and the most brilliant detective of all, accompanied by his "dear Watson".

The movie was released two weeks ago.

Video Trailer - Robin Hood by Ridley Scott

In May he is back. The man, the myth, the hero: Robin Hood. This time in a movie by Ridley Scott. The director of Gladiator once more stars Russel Crow in the role of the main character. Let the adventure begin...

Movie Trailer - Hot Tub Time Machine

A new year but also a new decade. New Year's Eve is for many a time to sum up the past and peer into an unknown future. But what if you could go back 24 years and change that future (the coming present). This is the idea behind the upcoming comedy Hot Tub Time Machine.


What better way to start 2010? Let's dive in!

Movie Trailer - Shrek Forever After

The first Shrek movie is one of my favorite cg-animated movies. The two following movies had their great moments and were enjoyable, but never felt quite as solid or inspired as the first one.

Now it seems as if a fourth (and final?) part is soon to be released. Here is the Trailer for Shrek - Forever after:

(Release: May 21st 2010)

Movie Trailer - Alice In Wonderland by Tim Burton

Hope you all had a great Christmas.

Let's continue with yet another really fascinating trailer. This time it's Tim Burton's adaption of Lewis Carroll's classic novel. One that I have read and reviewed here at Fantasytree: Alice in Wonderland.

While at my parents' place I realized that the "standard" trailer size is better for some browsers. Let me know if you prefer the large (720 pixel) one. This standard one is 450:

Movie Trailer - Avatar

It was possibly the biggest movie occurence this year. Here is the trailer to one of the most anticipated movies ever: James Cameron's Avatar. Enjoy.

Movie Trailer - Clash of The Titans

As long as I can remember I have been fascinated by Greek mythology. Therefore I'm really excited about the movie Clash of The Titans about Perseus and a struggle between the gods.

Here is a promising trailer for this movie and a

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hi-Quality Movie Trailers At Fantasytree!

Today I want to apologize to my readers. The reason is that I have been neglecting the movie category here at Fantasytree far too long, with an emphasis on fantasy (and my own) art. I am also aware that so far the most popular post is the one about the 10 Most Popular Fantasy Movies. Not very clever, since I'm constantly trying to improve this blog and make it more interesting to follow.

But - this will change from now on! Regard it a New Year's resolution from me that I will do my best to regularly post interesting fantasy-related movie trailers here as well. I just found the great site traileraddict.com, making it really easy to post hi-quality movie trailers.

I hope you will enjoy these trailers and this continually evolving blog even more from now on.

Enough talk. Let's start with the trailer for the follow-up on the Marvel classic Iron Man, shall we? Here is Iron Man 2:

The Master of Alien Painting?

Well, at least he is one of the most influential. I'm talking about H R Giger's dark imagery of course. Known for his award-winning work on the very first Alien movie, he has kept conjuring dark biomechanical visions that have become immensely popular. Be warned though: You enter his website at your own risk...

Sketch Of The Day - Alan Lee Study

Monday and a new week here at Fantasytree. I do hope you will enjoy your visit.

Last week I posted a link to the famous Tolkien artist John Howe. Today's sketch is a master study of another of the most popular Lord of The Rings illustrators, Alan Lee.

It's a sketch of one of Lee's drawings of the great hall of Edoras for the Lord of The Rings movies. Drawn with HB pencil on regular office paper:

The best Tolkien artist?

Well, according to most he is at least one of the masters. John Howe, the renown illustrator is currently working on making The Hobbit look as good as it possibly can. Do yourself a favour and visit his inspiring website.

Have a nice weekend.

Who Is The Best Concept Artist?

Well, not an easy question to answer. However, one of the names mentioned in such a discussion, would no doubt be Craig Mullins. Known for his work on The Matrix Revolutions and Halo 1 and 2, he has a wonderful gallery at his website. Do take a peek.

Sketch Of The Day - Tom Cruise

Another sketch for the Sketchstorm, this time a pencil drawing of Tom Cruise from "Mission: Impossible II". Drawn with a HB pencil

Heard the Latest News About The Hobbit?

Would you like to read an update on how the work with the film version of "The Hobbit" is proceeding?Then I recommend a visit at this page on the great Tolkien site The One Ring.net. There you'll find answers to almost anything you want to know about the production.

Just can't get enough of Star Wars and Lord of The Rings?

I was recommended these "Character interaction" charts from xkcd.com. I think they are just brilliant! I wonder how long it took to draw these. What do you think?
