Impressive Celebrity Digital Fan Art

via pixel77.com

I’ve put together for your viewing pleasure today a collection of cool celebrity fan artworks, basically vector illustrations and photo manipulations, to get your design inspiration going on these lazy summer days. I’ve chosen celebrities as a starting point because they’re usually associated with another type of digital work – yes, I’m talking about retouching. Today though, we’re looking at some artistic retouching of the most positive kind. Among our subjects are Jack Nicholson, the regretted Heath Ledger, Morgan Freeman, Rihanna, January Jones, Steve Carell, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and many more.

The Dark Knight Rises - Behind the Scenes

via g4tv.com

While The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters in just a little more than a week, this new 13-minute featurette is well worth committing the time as director Christopher Nolan, along with the film's cast and creative forces show how much went into the massive undertaking that was this film.

We also get some fascinating perspective on the film's intentions, characters, plot, and it really drives home the fact that this, indeed, is the finale to Nolan's groundbreaking Batman films and they intend to go out with a bang.

First photos of Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs, black turtleneck and all

via edibleapple.com

Behold! The Ashton Kutcher to Steve Jobs transformation in progress.

Back in April, we reported that the “That 70′s Show” star signed on to play Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs in an indie biopic based on a script from Matt Whiteley. The film, currently titled Jobs: Get Inspired, will purportedly chronicle a vast spectrum of Jobs’ life, from his days as a scraggly hippie all the way up to his second stint at Apple.

With production of the film already under way, TMZ was able to snag a few photos of Kutcher in full Jobs regalia, which is to say photos of Kutcher wearing Jobs’ trademark jeans and black turtleneck. One nitpicky point of contention though – looks like Kutcher above is wearing Asics and not Jobs’ patented New Balances.

The producers are still gathering interviews and compiling footage for the project, leaving the the full-length film still a ways away. But, the Trailer offers a look into the faces behind the cartoon characters that audibly define the entertainment that many of us enjoy.

Ashton Kutcher: The Role Of Steve Jobs Was Meant For Me

via businessinsider.com

Ashton Kutcher is wasting no time preparing for the role of Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, reports The Daily.

Mark Hulme, the producer behind the movie Jobs, said, "He is already meeting with folks that knew Steve Jobs. He’s working with professionals to get inside the voice. He’s letting his hair grow out. I understand he’s canceled all meetings and actually canceled all other projects...He believes the role was meant for him."

With filming set to begin next month, there's a solid chance that the movie will be out by Thanksgiving in time for awards season. Could we see an Oscar campaign for Ashton Kutcher as Best Actor?
