Dinosaurs v aliens concept art beyond Wierd

In the tradition of great films like Cowboys vs. Aliens and Aliens vs. Predators comes Dominion: Dinosaurs Versus Aliens.

Director Barry Sonnenfeld and comic book writer Grant Morrison are teaming up to create a comic book and film of the same name.

Liquid Comics describes it this way:
The story for Dominion: Dinosaurs Versus Aliens is based on a secret world war battle that was never recorded in our history books. When an alien invasion attacks Earth in the age of the dinosaurs, our planet's only saviors are the savage prehistoric beasts which are much more intelligent than humanity has ever imagined.
How intelligent could dinosaurs possibly be? They all died off.

The artwork is amazing, but think about this: They released concept art for a film and comic book that doesn't exist. They don't even have a script. The final product is going to be very different from what we see here.

This one sounds like a great idea, but will fail in execution. The logistical problems with writing a movie about dinosaurs fighting anyone in any kind of organized fashion is a nightmare. Add the fact that the dinosaurs can't talk and it may be as exciting as Meerkat Manor.

Liquid will launch the first graphic novel story for the franchise later this year in print and digital formats for the iPad, iPhone and other mobile devices. Artwork for the graphic novel will be done by Liquid Comics artist, Mukesh Singh (Gamekeeper, Devi, 18 Days) who I'm assuming also did the concept art above.
