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

London is a monster of a art
I enjoyed the movie because of the art and the cities but I hated how inaccurate it was to the book
Isaac Arthur: hold my Dyson sphere
This movie is so underrated, it definitely deserved to be a success
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.
Seeing this now makes me almost cry… I want the sequels… Please!

Concept art is my cocaine!
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
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.
But the movie sucks at the end
They marketed the shit out of this how did nobody go to see it
It's a petty it's gonna flop really hard
Having read all of the books… with a vibrant imagination of what it all looks like, it's pretty scary to open to see others version, less it overwrites my version of the fantacy world. the movie versions are so epic!! I so happy I peeked. Wow!!! you killed it!!!!
I love how they changed the lame, everyday airships in the books to really cool futuristic ones that actually fit the timeline!!!
Too bad this film is going to flop
I LOVE ART WORK

Hope there will be an artbook!
Looks fucking dope already 🙂
Simply Stunning
Dhasu
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)
Good job
mortal engine = mortal artist 😒😒🙄….
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.
I want the dvd extended edition RIGHT NOW!! (Throwing money at the screen)
Looks cool and original. Will definitely give it a chance as anything Peter Jackson is involved in is usually solid
Cool Excited for the movie 😃😃

This fantastic, I'm surprised how complexity is this design and concept arts, wow, just amazing.
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
People often don't appreciate what goes into these films, the concept art is amazing!
I love Peter Jackson! He is a weird ass evil cinematic genius. Check out one of his old movies called Meet The Feeble.
I thought the title said “Martial Artist”
Muito obrigado
Valentine would be proud, them would kick you out.
Give me that Shrike concept art.
Nice scenes
Superb video graphy
