Is this the new Jurassic Park?

In the world of infinity spawning sequels, there are a lot of films on the way I am excited about from lots of my favourite franchises. But right at the top of my oh-boy-I'm-excited-scale is the fourth Jurassic Park film, Jurassic World, which is due out in 2015.

It's rumoured Jurassic World will be taking us back is Isla Numblar, where a now successful and fully operational dinosaur resort has opened. Now concept art from the production gives us a look at what the future of Jurassic Park might look like, and it's quite spectacular. The Film Stage reports these images are from artist Nathan Schroeder:

Stunning! The new design seems to play off the original Jurassic Park visitor center, giving it a futuristic Calatrava-esque flare. If the final design is even half as impressive as this, the film is going to look amazing! Here's a look at what we might see inside:

The Doctors, a la Mr Men

Over the past few months, artist Mike Key has been posting some very special Doctor Who art on his fan art Facebook page. Now this particular project is complete, behold, The Doctors, as Mr Men!:

Bonus Mr Man, Mr Spock!

I so wish these were real books! Follow Mike's Star Art on Facebook for more excellent art from Mike.

Check out this excellent Star Wars Episode VII fan poster, featuring all the aged regulars from the original trilogy, ready to step back into action:

It was made by DeviantART user Adam Schickling, though would fit right in with Drew Struzan's posters for the special editions and prequels.

Beautiful Jurassic Park print

Quite possibly my favourite scene in all of cinema, the reveal of the brachiosaurus in Jurassic Park is so beautiful, so moving, and so awe inspiring. Seeing it again at cinema scale when Jurassic Park was re-released last year was just amazing, and I can't wait to try it out in 3D this year.

Now artist Mark Englert has made an equally magnificent print of this wonderful scene. It will be available for one day only, starting later today, so don't miss out:

Mondo: Jurassic Park

Mondo (who I regularly follow to update my Star Trek blog on their latest releases) have launched a new poster license. The first in the series was released exclusively with a screening of Jurassic Park at the Alamo Drafthouse, and a second poster will be available when the trilogythe trilogy is released on bluray next month (if they're anything like the Trek posters you'll have a couple of minutes to try and get one of the small editions of prints before they sell out). Here is the first poster:

Jurassic Park: Dangerous Games

IDW have just released their solicitations for November, which include the third issue of their latest Jurassic Park series: Dangerous Games, written by Greg Bear and Erik Bear, with art by Jorge Jimenez. Here are blurbs and covers for that series to date:

Dangerous Games #1

The time has come... to return to Isla Nublar! The famed original Jurassic Park island has become overgrown and wild after years of being stuck in United Nations limbo. A major criminal overlord has moved in and started using the island as a base of operations. Undercover agent Espinoza tries to bring down the drug cartel- but when he's found out, there's only one place to run... the dino-infested island interior! It's survival of the fittest at Jurassic Park!

 

Dangerous Games #2

The hunt begins! Detective Espinoza is on the run in the deadliest of locations... Jurassic Park! With well-armed goons on his trail, this is a seemingly impossible game to win. Luckily Espinoza meets Dr. Frances White, an animal behaviorial expert also trapped on the island. But how much help will Dr. White be when she leads him directly to a hungry T-Rex? This is the dino action you've been craving!

Dangerous Games #3

Agent Espinoza is being hunted on Jurassic Park, both by dinosaurs and a blood-thirsty drug cartel. Tired, hungry and sick of being the prey, a desperate Espinoza decides to flip the tables and start getting crafty! The end result is a battle to the death at the top of a waterfall with deadly dinos on all sides. It's maximum Jurassic action in this issue of Dangerous Games!

If you make your way to Chris Ryall's blog you can also see some interior artwork, and some of the cover artwork without titles. Like this beauty:
