Marvel moviegoers may remember the key scene in Captain America: The Winter Soldier in which Cap and Black Widow stumble upon the phalanx of ancient computer hardware that made up the preserved "brain" of the villainous Arnim Zola. However, in some newly-surfaced storyboard animatics chronicling an alternate take, things go down quite differently than the scene we saw. Animation artist James Rothwell, who as of late has been posting a number of alternate scene recreations from The Winter Soldier, also recently introduced this intriguing take on the computerized Arnim Zola, played by Toby Jones in his Hydra exposition scene. Cobbling the scene together based on storyboards, Rothwell depicts a sequence that not only renders Cap more wistfully fixated on his past, but a version of the digitized Zola whose existential motivations are radically different. In a notable divergence, we see Zola actually taking time to negotiate with Cap to ensure...

Avengers: Age of Ultron is, by now, well in the books and fans are already looking ahead to next year.s Captain America: Civil War. However, it can be fun to reflect on what could have been in regards to the past entries, in this case, last year.s Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Some storyboard-based animatics have surfaced, revealing that the film originally had a different opening sequence in mind. Artist James Rothwell posted some animatics based on actual storyboards from Captain America: The Winter Soldier in the form of videos on YouTube. They.ve apparently been up for a month, but are just now getting some traction. One of those videos happened to show an alternate opening sequence, going completely different direction than the "on your left" footrace with Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans) humiliating his bro-to-be, Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie), that made the final cut.

Alright, we've got three storyboards below that have been animated by James Rothwell, for Kenneth Branagh's Thor. The first two scene below, are of the Destroyer invades the town. Each animatic shows different versions of Thor confronting the Destroyer, as well as different versions of the Warriors Three and Lady Sif battling the Destroyer. The final scene, is when Thor is about to be named, by Odin, the heir to his throne. As this is going on the Frost Giants snuck into Asgard's Weapons Vault and try to steal the Casket of Ancient Winters. Before they can get away the Destroyer comes to life and kills the Frost Giants. The storyboards are very similar to the theatrical version, but there are a few slight differences. Can you spot them? Storyboards: Thomas A. Nelson * Animatics: James Rothwell Storyboards: Thomas A.

For a while there it seemed there really would be a live-action Stretch Armstrong movie based on the action figure first launched by Hasbro in 1976. For the longest time Taylor Lautner was attached to star and Breck Eisner (The Crazies, Sahara) was going to direct for an April 2014 release. However, last month it was announced Relativity had abandoned the film altogether. Probably for the best, but the story isn't quite over. A nearly five-minute animatic detailing what the film may have looked like has come online. It was directed by James Rothwell who has worked in the art department for movies such as Rise of the Planet of the Apes and several Marvel movies including the upcoming Captain America: The Winter Soldier, based on storyboards by Collin Grant who worked in the art department of The Matrix and on the upcoming Jurassic World. Check it out below. yt id ="8HtNzFnS...

Just last month, we learned that Relativity Media had killed the big screen adaptation of Hasbro's elastic toy Stretch Armstrong. The project had been developing at Relativity after the property fell away from Universal, which once attached Taylor Lautner to lead it, but no one has been able to make it work (we wish the same thing happened with Battleship). We'll never see the story that might have been, but we do get to see one particular scene for Relativity's action adventure that would have been called Armstrong in the form of a five-minute animatic directed by James Rothwell, and there's cool, surprisingly violent, action. An animatic scene from the defunct Stretch Armstrong movie from Film Sketcher (via The Playlist): It's pretty interesting that the story takes place in a universe where other people have powers, making Stretch Armstrong not all that special. That sounds like a cool way...

Despite an optimistic 2014 release date once being set, and Breck Eisner being tapped to direct, the forever-developing "Stretch Armstrong" movie will have to wait for another day as Relativity abandoned the movie last month. There were likely a few factors involved, such as watching big-budget Hasbro movie "Battleship" tank, the lack of a leading man (Relativity bounced Taylor Lautner when they snapped up the rights from Universal) and the fact that no one really wants a "Stretch Armstrong" movie. But we now have a taste of what Relativity had in mind at one point for their picture. Film Sketcher has posted a 5-minute animatic directed by James Rothwell, based on storyboards by Collin Grant, for what would've been "Armstrong." It's interesting stuff, as it reveals the movie (at least in its concept stage) was pretty violent (a dude loses a limb early on) and also taken place in an X-Men-like...

Hey, remember when they were seriously considering making a Stretch Armstrong movie with Taylor Lautner as the title character? Well, the disappointing box office returns for Lautner’s Abduction and the Battleship feature have apparently killed the project, but that doesn’t mean you can’t marvel at what might have been – and count your blessings that this thing never got past the early stages of development – with this animatic storyboard sequence from the unmade film. What’s most interesting about the animatic -- created by James Rothwell, based on Collin Grant’s storyboards -- isn’t the bizarre imagery of an animated Lautner swinging through the city like Spider-Man (although seeing his arms stretch out in the sequence is pretty...

Remember that Stretch Armstrong movie that Taylor Lautner was supposed to be in? Well since that was abandoned by both Relativity Media and Hasbro it looks like some of the storyboards have been leaked. There's been no official confirmation on this but I can't imagine who would want to. According to a blog called Film Sketchr, the storyboards were created by Collin Grant (I Am Legend, The Matrix) and were brought to life by James Rothwell (Iron Man, Thor). I love the art, however, this...

For much of the last five years, attempts were made to turn Hasbro's "Stretch Armstrong" toy into a feature. The toy, a 13-inch, blond-haired muscled figure whose limbs could be stretched to nearly four feet, was launched by Kenner in the '70s.
Disney had a go at a film adaptation with Jackie Chan in 1998, Universal tried one with Taylor Lautner in 2008, neither of which got off the ground. Relativity was the last to have a go, with Breck Eisner linked to direct, but they officially gave up on the project last month.
Now, a storyboard animatic from the abandoned project, created by storyboard artist Collin Grant and animator James Rothwell, has popped up online and you can check it out below:...
