Shades of 'Blade Runner' in 'Repossession of Max the Companion Robot' Concept Art

Here are a few basic concept paintings for an upcoming movie from director Nimród Antal (Predators) that seems to be channeling its inner Blade Runner. In a time when people are losing their childhood homes to foreclosure its an especially touching one.

Synopsis:
Set in a future in which robots are as ubiquitous as pets are today. And if you don’t make your robot loan payments, your mechanical best friend will be repossessed by people like Lee, a repo agent who refuses to see robots as sentient individuals and has built up large debts betting on robo-races.

Lee’s latest repo job takes him to the doorstep of Mike and Max, the former a man who has lost everything in a tragedy, and the latter an adorable companion robot who would do anything to stay with his master. With the help of the little robot, the two men end up joining forces to take down the repo business, discovering brand-new destinies along the way.

No word on who the artist is since it's still in the early pre-production phase. I like the color pallette since it looks grimy and dirty without being obvious.






I just hope it doesn't turn out that Lee's a robot pet himself.
