Hundreds of years after civilization was destroyed by a cataclysmic event, a mysterious young woman, Hester Shaw (Hera Hilmar), emerges as the only one who can stop London - now a giant, predator city on wheels - from devouring everything in its path. Feral, and fiercely driven by the memory of her mother, Hester joins forces with Tom Natsworthy (Robert Sheehan), an outcast from London, along with Anna Fang (Jihae), a dangerous outlaw with a bounty on her head.
Mortal Engines is the startling, new epic adventure directed by Oscar®-winning visual-effects artist Christian Rivers (King Kong). Joining Rivers are The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogies three-time Academy Award®-winning filmmakers Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, who have penned the screenplay. Visual effects are created by a Weta Digital team led by Ken McGaugh, Kevin Smith, Luke Millar and Dennis Yoo. The Universal and MRC adaptation is from the award-winning book series by Philip Reeve, published in 2001 by Scholastic.
On board as producers are Zane Weiner (The Hobbit trilogy), Amanda Walker (The Hobbit trilogy) and Deborah Forte (Goosebumps), as well as Walsh and Jackson. Ken Kamins (The Hobbit trilogy) joins Boyens as executive producer. Universal will distribute the film worldwide. www.mortalengines.com

People often don't appreciate what goes into these films, the concept art is amazing!

[@nooobtroller6773]

Cool Excited for the movie 😃😃

Valentine would be proud, them would kick you out.

That's a pretty amazing concept art, I'm thrilled!

[@deadstar44]

This should have been a Massive Online videogame. There's too much worldbuilding to cram for a standalone movie. Combine Fury Road universe and this universe and you got a smash hit videogame worldwide.

[@gabeg9855]

Mad Max had its own video game. I'd like to see CD Projekt Red do a game based on this universe though.

[@drakeredwingofficial]

Yeah, a Mortal Engines game would be really AWESOME

[@watergoodkerri]

We need to crowd fund it !!! Mortal Engine's world is beautiful and unique.

[@oscargurdian9389]

DrakeRedwingOfficial yeah maybe a world of warships type game but with mobile cities and "ingestion!"

[@smakkacowtherealone]

How would chasing work, though? smaller towns could always just turn away, (assuming it's MMO) so maybe have an arc that you can be in while being chased, and if you get a certain distance away, you can turn?

[@razgharbi4853]

As someone who has work in the Art Dept on film It is really great to finally see someone under the radar, getting some well deserved recognition for helping build a world

[@th3lonef0x4]

Give me that Shrike concept art.

[@scorpionarthur]

Seeing this now makes me almost cry... I want the sequels... Please!

[@fatbustersamuraitv8683]

I love Peter Jackson! He is a weird ass evil cinematic genius. Check out one of his old movies called Meet The Feeble.

[@jn5912]

Wow such skill and imagination. Those who dislike are people who lack imagination, jealous because they cant draw like this or simply have inverted eyes. (lol)

[@DaidusIII]

Lol, inverted eyes!

[@justicewarrior9187]

It's a petty it's gonna flop really hard

[@dukeblueduck9311]

This movie is so underrated, it definitely deserved to be a success

[@asherkahtan3914]

For any of you watching, the concept artist has made a mistake. Valentine’s ship is NOT called the 13th Floor, it is called the 13th Floor Elevator.

[@TheBrixHub]

Looks fucking dope already :)

[@50srefugee]

I've heard credible stories that Mortal Engines is a terrible movie. But, gods, the art is incredible. I may have to watch it just to see it.

[@Jrdn357]

I love how they changed the lame, everyday airships in the books to really cool futuristic ones that actually fit the timeline!!!

[@ElJorro]

Concept art is my cocaine!

[@m.atillaizol3426]

Peter Jackson bana sinema dünyasını sevdiren adamdır. Bir filmde Peter varsa o film izlenir, bu filmde de belli ki görsel şölen bizi bekliyor herşeyi hakkı ile yaptığından eminim. Hobbit üçlemesinin son filmini unutturacak bize 😅. Türkiye !

[@jerryofficial8800]

Nice 🔥🔥👍👍

[@benetedmunds]

Indeed! I wish I could draw (and had an imagination)! And there's so much more he's had to imagine for this movie! Cities bigger than London, vast walls (made up of the huge deckplates of destroyed cities) barring the way into mountainous valleys... and then - in the sequels, cities that "skate" on the ice of the North Pole, the blasted irradiated ruins of destroyed cities, underwater fagin-esque lairs, cities as floating holiday resorts (with their town halls floating from airbags), and so on... Never become a concept artist! Your head'll explode!

[@benetedmunds]

Armoured "panzer" cities, Piranha-like predator suburbs, suburbs that can tunnel under the ground, maybe the rumoured South American Ziggurat cities... It's a rich world, if you've got an imagination!

[@CUBETechie]

I enjoyed the movie but I don't get this idea of this traction city's. Isn't it very difficult to move the city? Also the fuel consumption must be horrible high

[@cloudreed1570]

But the movie sucks at the end

[@joaopaulodasilvabernardes2275]

This fantastic, I'm surprised how complexity is this design and concept arts, wow, just amazing.

[@roytaylor5618]

London is a monster of a art

[@MessOfAmachine]

I want the dvd extended edition RIGHT NOW!! (Throwing money at the screen)

[@Oldgames1000]

They marketed the shit out of this how did nobody go to see it

[@ern45009]

Other movies sadly

[@JayPatel-ql1hp]

Best movie❤

[@joaopereira3825]

Too bad this film is going to flop

[@JJ-wn4re]

I thought the title said “Martial Artist”

[@Gauntlet1212]

Hope there will be an artbook!

[@serialkiller77]

Looks cool and original. Will definitely give it a chance as anything Peter Jackson is involved in is usually solid
