If you know and love the Back To The Future trilogy, but you’ve never understood how they filmed the hoverboard scene, or made a Delorean fly through the air, then this set of behind the scene photos might help.
Some are candid portraits, others show the crew hard at work getting the shot to look just right, and they all show the cast and crew having a genuinely good time filming the iconic trilogy.
And with 65 pics in this collection, it’s nerd-stalgia at its finest!

Ridley Scott’s prequel Prometheus comes out next month, so prepare yourself by revisiting the original Alien movies. Or maybe just the first couple of them. Go look at a collection of photographs taken on the set of the first film -and you’ll get to see the actor who is inside this Alien Queen costume. Link
If you’ve seen the films, then you might not know it, but when the cameras weren’t rolling, Godzilla was actually quite a well-mannered gentleman adored by the women on the set. Just look at this lucky lady being accompanied by this studly ladies man

I don’t know about you guys, but I love getting to see the behind the scenes footage from some of my favorite movies, even if it ruins a bit of the magic. That’s why this great collection of images from the Star Wars set is so darn delightful.
The crack of Indy’s whip, the bleep-blips of R2-D2, and the asthmatic breathing of Darth Vader. These unique and memorable sound effects are all products of an often overlooked art form – the art of sound design. A Sound Designer’s duties include creating, editing and applying sound effects and all non-compositional elements of a film, video game, theater performance, recording or television program in what amounts to a very daunting job.

Earlier this month, we told you about Early Star Wars Storyboards which Michael Heilemann of Binary Bonsai uploaded to Flickr.
Well, Michael has just uploaded hundreds more of Star Wars photos to his Flickr account, many of which are fantastic behind the scenes photo like this one above of Luke Skywalker’s jump scene: Link – via Super Punch
