Concept paintings by Mary Blair for Disney’s PETER PAN.
“I forget people after I kill them,” Peter Pan says in PETER & WENDY. Was that in the Disney version?
One of the great “lost movies”: in the 1960s, there was talk of making a live action Peter Pan movie with Audrey Hepburn as Peter Pan, Peter Sellers as Captain Hook, and Hayley Mills as Wendy. The world was robbed of something wonderful there...

Nowhere beings: photos by Laura Thompson.
Some dinosaur art. Concept art of a sleeping T-Rex for a cut scene from JURASSIC PARK; designs by William Stout for what became Disney’s DINOSAUR (2000); and storyboard art from JURASSIC PARK.
That creature in Rosenburg’s head from MEN IN BLACK (1997)—one of those great little ideas. By Jim McPherson, Mark Setrakian, and Rick Baker.
Images from Monsterlegacy.net (mostly).
Meanwhile... Photos taken by Richard Beymer (Ben Horne) on the set of TWIN PEAKS. The last episode of season 2, by the looks of it. 1991.
I loved Ben Horne’s story in TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN. Once the king of wicked plans and nefarious schemes, he just sat there behind his desk, lost, as if nothing had worked out for him. He was tired of being evil.
Concept art for Hanna-Barbera’s WACKY RACES (1968) (and a sheet with color models).
Alice meets the Caterpillar. Illustrated by:
Gwynedd M. Hudson (1922); WH Walker (1907);

Gertrude Kay (1923); Bessie Pease Gutmann (1907).
Bonus: a storyboard panel from the Disney version (by Bill Peet).
Art from THE LONG TOMORROW by Mœbius and Dan O’Bannon. The comic, published in French magazine MÉTAL HURLANT (Heavy Metal) in 1976, was an obvious influence on the look of BLADE RUNNER. (Mix it with Syd Mead’s art and you’re there basically.) Its influence reached wider however, as films such as Escape from New York, Tron, and Alien all contain elements inspired by the comic’s world and make-up.
