I think it was the final episode of Guillermo Del Toros Netflix series that came out recently, where it was intentionally shot, scored, acted, directed, ect. to evoke a sort of retro 80s sci Fi aesthetic, with imo some pretty clear visual cues and inspirations from movies like Pulp Fiction. It was my second favorite episode of the series because it went out of it's way to evoke that nostalgic visual language, and it looked great. I would love to see some movies that intentionally use almost entirely practical effects, with. The same film, and editing techniques to capture the vibes of movies like the never ending story, dark crystal, willow, time bandits even. I think it would be an instant hit

Or Children of Men and that amazing single-cut scene where you're on the ground with Clive Owen, barefoot. I don't remember much of the LotR movies because somehow Jackson missed this.

@@Elchupanibres Yeah, I'm not shipping those banjoes.

So freaking accurate! The ring, the painted backgrounds, the empty setpieces, the angular faces. Insane!

Wow! Its amazing! You have a brilliant mind man!

You have great taste and a great eye for aesthetics

I'd rather seen something like this in a TV series than The Rings of Power. Good stuff.

It's certainly looking better than anything from Rings Of Power. Damn, as much as love Peter Jackson's adaptations of LOTR, I find myself disappointed something like this didn't actually come out in the eighties!

they should just done this style instead of what they have in RoP, it would have done better, But then yeah some decent story and dialogue would also help. Also: Sams Stache.

​@@littlehollow I'm convinced that the denial comes from a desire to conform and to be liked.

I totally want to go back to the 80"s and watch this!

I need MOAR of this

Awesome video, thanks dude :)

Gonna be honest, I may get nightmares from the orcs and especially Durin’s Bane. Goes to show how the dark fantasy really mixed well with this.

This hits to close home man. I grew up watching stuff like this. In a time without google and soviel media. Good old days!

LOL, yes, "Soviet" media. I see where you're going there

Damn, can someone make this version? Instantly took me back to my childhood

Thanks for this. The entire group of pictures was actually better than all 8+ hours of Rings Of Power.

My parents saw this movie back in the 80s. They loved it!

Mine too! They saw it at the Scarfolk Playhouse! They're still seeing it! Oh, when will they come home? There's an eyeless man scratching at the window...

In another reality I would love to see the creative minds behind Excalibur and the Dragonslayer join forces and come up with a LOTR movie using practical effects. The guys from The Dark Crystal too.

very cool!!! Which prompt did you use?

These are great! Just curious - how does the process work? are you giving the AI images to go off of? Arwen in particular looks so familiar - I'm thinking that's gotta be a real actress, just can't quite put my finger on who.

Honestly, this is a spectacle, i cannot express how much i like these 80's dark fantasy concepts, i hope the movie companies use this in future, keep it coming bro !

The Orcs and Uruk’s are actually terrifying. I love it! And Gollum looks like the gremlin from the plane in the Twilight Zone movie

Love every bit of that video!!

I think in 10 years we will see a movie completely redesigned for this style

I have been saying it for ages now since I miss sword and sorcery but we need 80's Dark Fantasy more than ever.

Now I need to watch this movie so bad.

Who ever done this needs to get hired as it’s absolutely brilliant and needs to be made!!

Well done! I would give several organs to be able to watch this in motion picture.

As someone who grew up in the 80's as a child and watched Legend, Neverending Story this vibe really hits haha
