This ‘Star Wars’ vs. ‘Aliens’ Mashup Art Series is Way Too Cool
Like seriously. You may not even be able to handle this.
If you thought it was cool that LV-426 appeared in Rogue One, then you are absolutely going to love the world that Guillem H. Pongiluppi has been using his incredible talents to bring to life. Pongiluppi, a huge fan of both the Alien and Star Wars franchises, has brought the two together for a mind-blowing series of mashup art that is guaranteed to make you happy-cry.
But first, a little bit about the artist.
Born in Barcelona, Guillem H. Pongiluppi is a freelance illustrator specializing in historical research and virtual archeology. He works in art direction, conceptual art and matte painting for pre-production, and post-production for audiovisual and videogames. Most recently, Pongiluppi worked on conceptual art and on matte paintings for this year’s Warcraft movie.
Okay, now that the introduction is out of the way, onto the art!
Pongiluppi sets the stage for the mashup series:
It looks like there is a plague of Space Cockroaches at the LV-426 planet, also called Acheron by the colons. The authorities of that zone sent a group of Colonial Marines to exterminate the beasts, but it turned to be an absolute fail, and all the soldiers died. Now the Empire, tired of the problems that the plague is causing, has sent a detachment of Stormtroopers of the 501st Legion: Vader’s Fist: the pride of the Empire, the motherfuckers most badass in the galaxy…
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
