David Krentz' Heart-Stopping John Carter Storyboards

David Krentz helped create some stunning action scene for the movie John Carter (2012).

The DVD and Blu Ray of John Carter came a few weeks back and, while it wasn't a commercial success, it had some amazing action scenes. David Krentz was one of the talented artists working on the film.

Krentz describes it on his site. I still haven't seen the film, so I don't know if there are any spoilers in it.

There are a lot of images in the storyboards, so I created a video out of it. I hope you enjoy it.

UPDATED: The Artists of John Carter (2012)

Here are some of the artists that worked on the science-fiction film John Carter (2011). As always, there are many talented artists involved in the production of a film. These are only some of them according to IMDb.

Synopsis: From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton comes "John Carter"--a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars).

"John Carter" is based on a classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, whose highly imaginative adventures served as inspiration for many filmmakers, both past and present. The film tells the story of war-weary, former military captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions amongst the inhabitants of the planet, including Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe) and the captivating Princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins).

In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands

'John Carter' Concept Art Keeps Getting Better And Better

The film John Carter (formerly "of Mars") has been sparse and sightly unimpressive. That's changed yesterday. It's Art Mag has a huge series of exclusive concept art for the film John Carter (2012) by Ryan Church, Michael Kutsche, David Krentz, and Mayes C. Rubeo. We get massive ships, bizarre creatures and sprawling interiors.

(UPDATE: I notice a lot of sites are copying the artist names from the original post including typos. Note the correct spelling of the artist names.)

Official Synopsis:

From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo, WALL-E), JOHN CARTER OF MARS brings this captivating hero to the big screen in a stunning adventure epic set on the wounded planet of Mars, a world inhabited by warrior tribes and exotic desert beings. Based on the first of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ 'Barsoom Series,' the film chronicles the journey of Civil-War veteran John Carter (Taylor Kitch), who finds himself battling a new and mysterious war amidst a host of strange Martian inhabitants, including Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe) and Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins).

As tempted as I was to just grab everything, they deserve the link-back. So, I'm just posting my favorites.

Head over to Its Art Mag for the rest of the illustrations and look for more of the artists work.
