Incidently, does anyone know what's up with the new egg and face hugger in Blomkamp's concet art?
Someone mentioned, that this was actually from Prometheus' unused concept art.
Can someone confirm this?
Artist Doug Williams runs runs a blog
pleaselookatmeneillblomkamp.blogspot.com, and when
Prometheus's trailer came out he posted a piece of art speculating on the Hammerpede based on the glimpses seen in the trailer. That piece wound up getting republished online on Blomkamp's Instagram when he published all of the concept art that he had commissioned for his Alien project, so I"m hoping that means that, while the Hammerpede piece likely won't be used in the film, Williams himself might be involved. He does some great work (he recently worked as a concept artist for
Pacific Rim, and has done some great Space Jockey pieces).

Well if WETA can do practical effects too that is good. CGI is not bad but if you can do something practically and it looks better, then it should be done that way.
That'd be WETA Workshop (they're a separate entity than WETA Digital). Blomkamp usually works with both of them in tandem (he did on
District 9 and
Elysium for sure, not sure if WETA Workshop did anything for
Chappie though).
