AceShowbiz - Concept artist Patrick Janicke has revealed the first concept arts of upcoming Steven Spielberg's movie "Robopocalypse". The illustrator who contributed fantastical vehicle, prop and architecture designs to "Stargate", "Blade", "Godzilla", "Speed Racer" and "Transformers" gives a close-up look of the robots and the weapons.
One picture shows a big copper robot with one arm longer than the other one. There is also another two-legged robot which has six red-and-green eyes. Another photo sees a green robot with four legs made of continuous tracks. There are four weapons featuring sharp wheels and three kinds of neck brace.
Patrick also shares a picture of what appeared to be a human's house during the robopocalypse. The house is surrounded by mountain and rocks. There are two old cars, some cows and dogs outside the house.
Following the announcement that "Robopocalypse" was put on hold indefinitely in January 2013, Steven vowed he would not abandon the project. The "Jurassic Park" helmer told Entertainment Weekly, "We found that the film was costing a lot of money and I found a better way to tell the story more economically but also much more personally. I found the personal way into Robopocalypse, and so I just told everybody to go find other jobs, I'm starting on a new script and we'll have this movie back on its feet soon."
"Robopocalypse" has already tapped Chris Hemsworth, Anne Hathaway and Ben Whishaw as cast members. The project was first announced in 2010 as Steven's next project after "War Horse" with Drew Goddard writing the script. The production was originally set to begin in January 2012, but was delayed due to Steven's busy schedule with "Lincoln".
