In May, visual effects guru
Rick Baker (click here) finally released images of the aliens he designed for
Night Skies, which was an unmade
Steven Spielberg ("Jurassic Park") film. Though, it wasn't made it still had a heavy influence on the story and creature designs of Spielberg's
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982). If you're not familiar with the fascinating story behind
Night Skies I suggest you click on the link by Rick Baker's name.
Below, is concept art that
Empire recently published. These images were illustrated by
Ed Verreaux with the intention of showing different versions of
E.T.: The Extra - Terrestrial and the wide range of emotions the alien creature would have to perform. Ed also worked on:
Empire of the Sun, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and
Poltergeist.
