It tells the story of Tom Barren’s world, set in 2016, where technology has solved all of humanity’s problems — there’s no war, no poverty, no under-ripe avocadoes. Unfortunately, Tom isn’t happy. He’s lost the girl of his dreams. And what do you do when you’re heartbroken and have a time machine? Something stupid.
Finding himself stranded in a terrible alternate reality, Tom is desperate to fix his mistake and go home. Right up until the moment he discovers wonderfully unexpected versions of his family, his career and the woman who might just be the love of his life. Now Tom faces an impossible choice: Go back to his perfect but loveless life or stay in our messy reality with a soulmate by his side. His search for the answer takes him across continents and timelines in a quest to figure out, finally, who he really is and what his future is supposed to be.

CLASSIC FILM 'SKY CAPTAIN' CELEBRATED IN NEW ART BOOK01/27/21 @ 4:15 pm EST
Source: Dynamite | Categories: Dynamite | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentDynamite is proud to announce the definitive tome on the concept artwork behind the cult classic film Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow. Production designer and co-creator Kevin Conran opens the curtains on the pulp and steampunk flavored world.
"Roger Ebert wrote that Sky Captain & The World of Tomorrow made him feel the way he did when he first saw Raiders of the Lost Ark," said Kevin Conran. "Which made sense, because for most of our film's production Kerry and I felt like we had a giant boulder rolling after us. Made for nerds by nerds, Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow was a long, hard journey and a labor of love. Fortunately, like Indy, we somehow managed to survive."
Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow revved up its diesel engines and flew right into theaters in 2004, debuting a stunning world and innovating on the filmmaking process. The film wowed audiences, as it both called back to classic films and techniques, while furthering those techniques with advanced methods and technologies. Many of these groundbreaking ideas have since become standard in the industry.
The film was the first to be shot entirely against blue screen, with integrated digital effects in mind. A legion of talented visual artists, modelers, animators and more composed the look of the entire film, seamlessly setting actors in a lush CG world, as director Kerry Conran filmed the live action segments with actors including Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Angelina Jolie.
Sky Captain had a long epic journey to the screen - over 20 years, and that is where the story really begins. As young children, brothers Kevin and Kerry Conran fell in love with the film serials and pulpy comic books of the 1930s and '40s, with their parents encouraging their artistic passion. Determined to make a feature film, they worked for over seven years honing their ideas into a black and white teaser. Then two more years passed writing the screenplay and further developing the aesthetic.
In this new book, the first official one sourced directly from Kevin Conran's private collection, he dissects all the varied influences. From the German expressionism, to the industrial design of the 1930s World's Fairs, to even the Fleischer Studios Superman shorts.
The 240 page deluxe hardcover features pencil and ink sketches, full color concept art, storyboards, and extensive commentary from Kevin Conran. Due for release in May 2021, the book is priced at $34.99.
THE ART OF SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW is solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ February 2021 Previews catalog, the premier source of merchandise for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release in May 2021. Fans are encouraged to preorder copies of the book with their local comic book retailers or preferred book vendors. It will also be available for individual customer purchase through digital platforms courtesy of Comixology, Kindle, iBooks, Google Play, Dynamite Digital, ComicsPlus, and more!

Skydance Media is looking to relaunch a classic family franchise as sources tell
Deadline it has optioned the rights to reimagine the successful
Spy Kids franchise alongside Spyglass Media Group and creator Robert Rodriguez. Rodriguez will return to write and direct the next film which will revolve around the activities of a multicultural family.
Spyglass owns the
Spy Kids franchise and in recent months Skydance became intrigued in the IP as it looks to diversify its slate. For this next installment, Skydance will serve as the lead studio and oversee development and production while Spyglass’ Gary Barber and Peter Oillataguerre will executive produce.
Prior to launching the
Spy Kids franchise, Rodriguez was better known for his adult action films like
Desperado and
From Dusk Till Dawn but wanted to do something for his kids. He came with the idea of a group of siblings who took up the family business to save their secret agent parents from danger. The first film was a massive hit grossing $112 million at the domestic box-office and launched three sequels that collectively have earned over $550 million at the worldwide box-office.
