Astonishing new concept art of Panzer 88’s Nazi-fighting monster A lone Nazi tank crew encounters a monster, in the upcoming movie Panzer 88. Check out our exclusive interview with director Peter Briggs, with all the gory details. Plus new concept art of the "Balrog in Battle Troll armor" monster. What are the challenges with combining the monster genre and a period piece war movie? For me, none whatsoever. They're less challenges, than bonuses. With the exception of The Keep, I'm not sure anybody's attempted to do what we're attempting, at least not in terms of a quality production. When I found Aaron (Mason) and Jim (Cowan), and read their initial script, all kinds of bells went off. I already had a project I was plotting — which, co-incidentally [producer] Gary Kurtz also wanted — set in the same era, but Panzer was already some way further along. So, we just switched priorities and started developing this with the boys instead. Gary got excited about the project in exactly the same way, as did Richard Taylor at Weta Workshop. ![]() http://io9.com/5637891/astonishing-new-concept-art-of-panzer-88s-nazi+fighting-monster One of the few movies I am waiting for... |
