Who thought a sponge could be so scary? SpongeBob SquarePants premiered in 1999, and it’s been going strong ever since. With two theatrical films under the series’ belt as well, it’s become an iconic trademark for kids cartoons worldwide. And that makes it all the more disturbing when we see the character redesigned in a more frighteningly realistic fashion. Artist Miguel Vasquez has revealed his project entitled “Best Friends Forever”. It’s a showcase of 3D models based around the two leads of SpongeBob SquarePants; the titular character and his friend Patrick Star. 3D illustrator Miguel Vasquez brings SpongeBob to life!…

After helping write the film Tromeo & Juliet, he ended up writing the live-action Scooby-Doo adaptation of all things. As strange a transition as that sounds, it turns out he originally had a much different film in mind. As he explained in an interview with EW: “I had written an edgier film geared toward older kids and adults, and the studio ended pushing it into an clean cut children’s film. And, yes, the rumors are true…

Now the director has taken the time for an interview with Vice, and explains everything about the film from its production to its current legacy. And, regarding the infamous Bat-Nipples, he had this to say: “[The costume] was made by Jose Fernandez, who was our brilliant lead sculpture.

Although everyone mostly remembers Kevin Peter Hall as the titular alien in Predator, it was almost Jean Claude Van Damme who played the hunter. For the 30th Anniversary of Predator (that we were one day late on) we thought it’d be cool to dig up an interesting (and terrifying) part of the movie’s past. It turns out that the original design for what would become the iconic alien in Predator was extremely different. In fact, it was so different that had the filmmakers used it, it’s possible Predator would in no way be the film it is today. It would…

We’ve been given our first look at the new Blob remake’s sales art thanks to Arclight Films, and it’s rather derivative of another film franchise. The remake has been in the works for a few years now, and names like Samuel Jackson and Halle Berry have both been attached to star. Meanwhile director Simon West is intended to helm the picture. As you can see from the poster below, it looks rather familiar to the artwork from Alien. It features the same type of green light emitting from a crack like the cracked egg on the iconic Alien poster. And…
