Neill Blomkamp‘s Chappie will likely come out of 2015 as one of the year’s most interesting movies. It’s no surprise it either divided audiences or didn’t find any. Like Blomkamp’s last film, Elysium, we are once again dealing with an attention to detail, effort and craft that gives more life into the project. It’s all been captured in the latest coffee table book from Titan Books, Chappie: The Art of the Movie.

Concept Art by Christian Pearce Click Here For More Amazing Spider-man 2 Concept Art We’ve always known that Spider-Man’s most important battle has been within himself: the struggle between the ordinary obligations of Peter Parker and the extraordinary responsibilities of Spider-Man. But in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker finds that a greater conflict lies ahead. It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield).
