David Ayer's Suicide Squad has been triumphant at the box office as of late, earning over $731 million worldwide and recently edging its way onto the list for the Top 50 Highest Domestic Grossing Films. While many critics and fans agreed that the film's main adversaries weren't much to write home about, a new batch of concept art highlighting them has made its way online via artist Stephan Martiniere, showcasing some drastically different designs for Katana (Karen Fukuhara), Incubus, Enchantress (Cara Delevigne) and her minions, the "Eyes of the Adversary". The first few Enchantress images look to be heavily inspired by her comic appearance, while the rest are much more unconventional in terms of design. Would you have preferred these looks to what we got in the final film? Sound off below! ...

With Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy currently the "#1 movie in the universe," concept artists who worked on the film in its early days have showcased their contributions. One is Goran Bukvic, whose work features weapons that belong to the Badoon, the secondary villain alien race that was replaced by the Sakaaran in the film due to 20th Century Fox holding their rights. Also, previously-seen concept art by artist Stephan Martiniere has revealed an environment that also didn't appear in Guardians. As Slash Film has pointed out and explained, Martiniere's art piece features the planet Spartoi, which is home to Star-Lord's father J'son in the Marvel Comics. Check it out below!

An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel's “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits—Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer.

Chicago – It doesn’t take a child psychologist to figure out why British author Julia Donaldson’s 1999 book “The Gruffalo” has become a hit with families around the globe. It gives parents ample opportunities to portray various animal voices, while kids can take part in reciting the multiple catchy refrains. Best of all, Donaldson centers her tale on a tiny hero who uses his brains to outwit hulking predators.
Clocking in at a slim 25 minutes, Max Lang and Jakob Schuh’s Oscar-nominated animated adaptation has been hailed in some quarters as a family classic. I don’t think the film is nearly substantial enough to deserve such acclaim, though that’s not because of its limited running time. Several short films left an enduring mark on my childhood. I’ll always cherish the artistic exuberance of Stephan Martinière’s “Madeline,” the Broadway-worthy songs of Michael Sporn’s “Lyle Lyle the Crocodile,...

The quickest thing you learn once you become obsessed with awards is that they never end; someone is always handing out prizes for something. And since the eligibility periods are different for everything it takes forever for a single year's entertainment to finally be "old" aka ineligible. Such is the case with 2010 entertainment (mostly the second half of it) which is still eligible for Emmy nods (July 14th), Tony nods (May 3rd)... and The Hugo Awards, which are science fiction based, and newly announced today.
Best Dramatic Presentation – Long
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
How to Train Your Dragon

Inception and Toy Story 3 can breathe a sigh of relief that The King's Speech featured neither threatening alien invaders (Wallis Simpson does not count) nor superpowered heroes (Helena Bonham Carter does not count, her super powers being off screen).

#1 New poster for Daniel Calparsoro's "Circus"
We'd previous brought you a detailed description of Daniel Calparsoro's film which essentially sees an American family stranded in the middle of the desert with a circus of crazies. The good folks at Bd have uncovered a new poster for the film. It's pretty spiffy!
#2 Richard Matheson's "Real Steel" coming to the big screen
Not sure how I feel about news that Night at the Museum director Shawn Levy is at the helm of this project but the story of a "father and son action drama set in the near future, surrounding the sport of robot boxing" sounds promising, as does the tidbit that Hugh Jackman is in talks to star in the production. At the very least we know the special effects will look good. [via Sci-Fi Wire]
#3 First look at Frank Beddor's "The Looking Glass Wars" concept art
Jack of all trades...

I’ve come across some concept art made by concept illustrator Stephan Martiniere back in 2006 for the proposed Looking Glass Wars movie which looks pretty cool. Although these are from a few years back, Stephen has them filed under “Live Action Feature Films” on his official website. The designs look extremely similar to characters from the early ’90s Sunday morning cartoon King Arthur and The Knights of Justice, which Martiniere worked on as a character designer. The Looking Glass Wars is a trilogy of novels (also the title of the first in the series) written by former skier turned filmmaker/actor Frank Beddor, and is basically an action heavy re-imagining of Lewis Carroll’s classic novels Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass. The proposed film is being produced by Charles Roven (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight) and is one of numerous fantasy films he has lined up,...

After concept work on Battlefield Earth, Red Planet, two Star Wars prequels and The Astronauts Wife, poor old Stephan Martiniere sure could use a break. Okay, that's not entirely fair - he also got to contribue to I, Robot which ended up being quite a clever film, at least in terms of it's imagery. One of his assignments appears to be character designs for a film of The Looking Glass War, the Frank Beddor Alice in Wonderland spin off that Charles Roven is currently shepherding towards the big screen. After the break, some big and frightening pictures of some dudes in armour that seem to be spoiling for a right royal ruckus, as well as Alyss Heart, Beddor's heroine. These four characters are identified only by a card suit, respectively Club, Diamond, Heart and Spade. This refers to their class in the heirarchy of Wonderland. I think these are simply...

Cyberabad Days: Return To The India Of 2047by Ian McDonald (Pyr, tpb, 330 pp, $15.98)
Cyberabad Days is soooo good. I've heard positive things about McDonald-especially his Hugo-nominated River Of Gods-but I've never read anything by him before. Boy, have I been missing out.
Set in the world of River Of Gods, Cyberabad Days is an anthology of seven short stories. The first, "Sanjeev and Robotwallah," which was selected for both The Year's Best Science Fiction: 25Th Annual Collection and Year's Best Sf 13, concerns "robotwallahs"-teenage soldiers who serve as robot jockeys in the War of Separation. But what happens to these boy-soldiers once the conflict ends?
In "Kyle Meets the River," a young American boy living in a compound leaves his confines and experiences the nation building going on in the early days of a new country. Visiting and spellbound by a city of alien streets and people, Kyle's awakening culminates...
