Disney released a new Maleficent trailer for Japan, and guess what, this japanese trailer include NEW scenes that you've never seen before!

Unfortunately, i have to ask you to jump to the D&M Facebook page to watch the video as i'm not at home and Youtube being now such an incredible piece of shit on the iPad it is now impossible to copy the embed code, simply because the guys at Youtube / Google are so dumbs they don't even check how their programs are working on different devices.  Jeeeesus...unbelievably stupid.

Jurassic World Visitors Center Gorgeous Concept-Art Unveiled


Thanks to conceptual artist Nathan Schroeder - who has also worked on other films like Star Trek and The Avengers - we have the first official concept art for Jurassic World, the new Jurassic Park movie directed by Colin Trevorrow,  to be released in June 2015. 

These two gorgeous concept-arts reveal a futuristic new visitor center on the island of Isla Nublar. The story will take place 22 years after the events of the first Jurassic Park movie, and so far the cast includes Nick Robinson, Ty Simpkins, Josh Brolin, Bryce Dallas Howard, BD Wong, and maybe Jason Schwartzman. 


Now, get a closer look to both of the artwork as you will see that the "visitor center" is not exactly the same on both. As you can see, in Jurassic World, things have changed since 20 years ago,  the visitors center has a more futuristic tone and we can see as well a fully functioning resort... meaning more food for the Dinosaurs once they will break free.

As you can see above the awaited Gusteau's sign is now in place at the top of one building, and it's not the only sign in place as we will see.

But first, let's have a little stop nearby as Crush Coaster is now closed for refurbishment with changes to come in the normal waiting line and they will add a single rider line, too, which is good news. It is expected to re-open on April 11.




The rocks outside are also being repainted in the original blue color.


Okay, let's move to Ratatouille! Lot of things have changed since last week specially on the Ratatouille plaza. The first big thing is indeed the Gusteau's sign which for sue will have a night lighting.






Nearby, the last scaffoldings are down on Remy plaza revealing the great work of theming that the Imagineers have done on the facades.




They've also started to add trees on the Parisian street leading to the plaza.


...as well as giving the final touch on some of the facades.


Let's have now a closer look at Remy plaza without the scaffoldings!





The fountain at the center is going up little by little...


...and new lampposts have been installed over the Fast Pass entrance and "Chez Rémy" restaurant.

Now, they've also put in place the "Chez Rémy" restaurant sign!




The main entrance of the attraction has now new installations fixed vertically on the facade and the base for the upcoming attraction sign is also in place. New guardrail on the windows above, too.




On the other hand, nothing has changed yet on the hiding of the backstage building which for now we still can se,e as well as on the covered market structure.






New doors have been installed for the rest rooms access on the Fast Pass building.
