Here’s a first look at Rihanna in costume for the upcoming Battleship movie. It’s hard to believe that they’re making a movie based off the board game (I’m still waiting for the Connect Four movie).
Battleship should float into theaters in 2012.

James Gunn has released new photos from is upcoming movie, Super.
Rainn Wilson plays an ordinary guy who decides to become the Crimson Bolt after his wife leaves him for a drug dealer. Ellen Page stars as a comic book geek who assists him as Boltie. You can see the two of them making pipe bombs in the photo below.
This looks like a fun superhero movie, can’t wait to see it!

The Inflatable Crowd Company specializes in dressing up inflatable dummies to appear as extras in movies. When a large crowd is needed for filming a scene, Inflatable Crowd can deliver 30,000 dolls. This can save a production company quite a bit of money, since real human extras cost anywhere between $135-$300 per day.
From a distance, this method works great and no one can tell that they are dummies, not people. These inflatable dummies have appeared in dozens of feature films, including Sea Biscuit, Million Dollar Baby, Rocky Balboa, Spider-Man 3, and Iron Man 2.
Pretty cool!

Look at these cute little girls dressed as RD-D2 and C-3PO! So awesome. This photo was taken at the recent Star Wars Celebration.
Way too adorable!
The base of the dresses is sewn using New Look pattern # 6878. It’s a quick and easy pattern that I make for my girls for every holiday and event. The dresses were then embellished with puff paint. That’s right, the same thing we all used when we were 10 years old to paint on everything, it is one of my favorite craft supplies. A little felt here and there for R2’s panel, and finished the outfits off with little bow head bands from the left over fabric.

I received an email from Jeremy Naylor, creator of the famous Wampa costume. He was recently at the Star Wars Celebration in Orlando, where he saw Darth Vader go head to head against a closed concession stand.
Looks like it will take more than the Force to open that door. Sorry, Vader… FAIL!
Thanks to Jeremy for the tip!
The big Star Wars Celebration is happening right now in Orlando, Florida! ABC has a bit of news on the event.
I’m quite intrigued by this “Main Event” — an hour long interview between Jon Stewart and George Lucas! That would be soo awesome to see.
I’m sure some great photos will be popping up soon, and I’m looking forward to seeing all the awesome costumes!
The big Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas wrapped up last weekend. Trekkies from all around the world gathered to celebrate the fabulous universe of Star Trek.
TrekMovie has a nice collection of photos from their costume contest. Some great costumes! You gotta love the green body paint.
I wish I could have gone!

Check out this trailer for a superfly version of Star Wars, starring none other than Lando Calrissian.
Wow, this is seriously awesome. I wish I knew more about this. Is this trailer possibly for a real movie? I sure hope so.
I do know that Lando is played by Leonard Roberts. You may recognize him as the soldier Forrest from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Who’s the baddest dude in the galaxy? Who’s slicker than Superfly, cooler than Captain Kirk? The Blackstar Warrior, that’s who.
Take a look at this super old school Chewbacca costume from 1977.
Why is Chewbacca’s head printed on the stomach? It has a mask, so now Chewbacca looks like he has two heads.
Weird!
The trailer for Thor has been released, and it looks really good! I’m impressed.
This is the footage they showed at Comic-Con. I’m pretty sure this is an unofficial release, so you better hurry and watch it before it gets taken down!
Here’s a first look at Rainn Wilson in costume as the Crimson Bolt! He stars in the upcoming superhero comedy Super, which is written and directed by the talented James Gunn. LOL, his costume sure is awful, isn’t it?
The movie is about a regular guy who creates a superhero identity, and should be quite funny. James Gunn recently announced at Comic-Con that the film is still looking for a distributer. So, we’ll probably see it in theaters early next year, or it might go straight to DVD.
Rainn Wilson is best known for playing Dwight Schrute on the TV show, The Office. I think he’ll be great as a funny superhero!

I always enjoy posting photos of Courtney Coombs and her excellent costumes. Recently, she did a cosplay photoshoot as Ash from the Evil Dead series.
As you can see, Courtney wields a mean chainsaw! Great work!
This costume was such a pain, not because the clothing itself poses any kind of challenge but because it’s the accesories that make it. I tried so hard to get a movie quality chainsaw hand, but in the end I just made one out of milk cartons, a sheet of plastic, PVC pipe and some cardboard. The gun is made from an old leg off of a piece of furniture. Origins of which are unknown.
Very little makeup in these photos, just some mascara and spot cover. For the scars I used liquid latex and some games workshop inks, red and brown to be precise.
