Stunning Canceled BIOSHOCK Movie Concept Art by Kasra Farahani and Jim Martin

Bioshock concept art by Kasra Farahani

Check out Bioshock concept art by Kasra Farahani and Jim Martin!

A film based on the hit game Bioshock was proposed in 2008. It went through directors like Gore Verbinski and Juan Carlos Fresnadillo before the project was dropped because of the proposed R rating and soaring budget. Two artists who worked on the film have released concept art that show what it could have looked like.

Kasra Farahani is a professional concept artist who's worked on big budget films like Avatar (2008), Alice in Wonderland (2010) and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008). Jim Martin is a professional illustrator who's worked on Hollywood films like Superman Flyby, Spider-Man (2002) and Captain America: The First Avenger (2011).

What do you think of the concept art? Would the Bioshock movie have been any good?

Official Bioshock Game Summary
BioShock lets you do the impossible as you explore a mysterious underwater city. When your plane crashes, you discover Rapture - an underwater Utopia torn apart by civil war. Caught between powerful forces and hunted down by genetically modified "splicers" and deadly security systems, you have to come to grips with a deadly, mysterious world filled with powerful technology and fascinating characters. As little girls loot the dead, and biologically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn. Now you're trapped, caught in the middle of a genetic war that will challenge both your capacity to survive and your moral allegiance to your own humanity. Make meaningful and mature decisions that culminate in the grand question - do you exploit the innocent survivors of Rapture to save yourself - or risk all to become their savior?
Directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (Gore Verbinski)
Planned Release date: November 30, 2011 (USA)

Insightful SUPERMAN: FLYBY Concept Art by Jim Martin

Check out Superman: Flyby concept art by Jim Martin!

Before the blockbuster hit Man of Steel there were many failed attempts to bring Superman back to the screen after the debacle of Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. One, known as Superman: Flyby, was a reboot written by J.J. Abrams and was supposed to be directed by McG. It had some major changes to the Superman mythos. For example, in this version, Krypton was not completely destroyed. Kal-El left Krypton to escape his evil uncle Ty-Zor and his father ended up in a Kryptonian prison.

While we'll never know exactly what the film would have looked like, concept artist Jim Martin shared some illustrations on his site that show what some of the major plot points could have looked like. I contacted him and he walked me through some of the designs.

Jim Martin is a professional concept artist who's worked on Hollywood blockbusters like Spider-Man (2002), The Matrix Reloaded (2003) and Captain America: The First Avenger (2011).


You might notice that this illustration is eerily similar to the Superman Returns poster.

Krypton
 This is a Kryptonian prison where Jor-El is held before committing suicide.

This is the home where Lara (Superman's birth mother) hides from Ty-Zor before being killed.

Metropolis



 This is from a scene where Superman saves the President and Air Force One.


If you're interested, you can read a 2003 draft of the script at Superman Homepage.

What do you think of the concept art\storyboards? Do you think Superman: Flyby could have been good?
 
Unofficial Superman: Flyby Description
Superman: Flyby was an origin story that included Krypton besieged by a civil war between Jor-El and his corrupt brother, Kata-Zor. Before Kata-Zor sentences Jor-El to prison, Kal-El is launched to Earth to fulfill a prophecy. Adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent, he forms a romance with Lois Lane in the Daily Planet. However, Lois is more concerned with exposing Lex Luthor, written as a government agent obsessed with UFO phenomena. Clark reveals himself to the world as Superman, bringing Kata-Zor's son, Ty-Zor, and three other Kryptonians to Earth. Superman is defeated and killed, and visits Jor-El (who committed suicide on Krypton while in prison) in Kryptonian heaven. Resurrected, he returns to Earth and defeats the four Kryptonians, while the script ends with Superman off to Krypton, leaving a cliffhanger for a sequel. - Wikipedia
Directed by McG
Production Design by Owen Patterson
Planned release date: Summer 2004

Unused Raimi SPIDER-MAN Dr. Octopus Concept Art by Jim Martin

Spider-Man (2002) concept art by Jim Martin

Check out Spider-Man concept art by Jim Martin!

Did you know Doctor Octopus was almost in Sam Raimi's first Spider-Man film?

In Spider-Man (2002), the villain was Green Goblin (Wilem Dafoe) and in Spider-Man 2 (2004) the villain was Dr. Octopus (Alfred Molina), but I found some concept illustrations for the first film that included Dr. Octopus. So what gives? Artist Jim Martin confirmed that he was "later taken out of the story and put in the sequel." One draft of the script had both Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus as villains, but Doc Ock was removed in Scott Rosenberg's rewrite to simplify the story.

Jim Martin is a professional concept artist who's worked on major projects like The Matrix Reloaded (2003), Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1995).
