Here are some of the artists of Total Recall (2012) according to IMDb and my own research.

Official Synopsis:
Toal Recall is an action thriller about reality and memory, inspired anew by the famous short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” by Philip K. Dick. Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he's got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life - real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. Finding himself on the run from the police – controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston), the leader of the free world – Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) to find the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy) and stop Cohaagen. The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate.

A while back I posted a search for concept drawings from Patrick Tatopoulos (Underworld, Stargate, Face-Off) for the film Super Mario Bros (1983). Turns out I had some all along! I was going through photos on my hard drive and found this awesome one featuring King Koopa's de-evolution into a dinosaur at the end of the film.

There's a great article of Rob Burman, the man behind the production of the Koopa Creature, at SMBmovie.com that details how much work went into designing and building the creature for this sequence.

It could be fan art, but it matches his style perfectly. Plus, its signed and dated by Tatopoulos himself.

What do you think of his work on the film? If you saw the film, what did you think of it?

The cult film Super Mario Brio (1993) has very little concept art available even though its created by one of the most innovative artists in the field. French artist Patrick Tatopoulos from Underworld (2003), Stargate (1994) and Independence Day (1996) was lead creature designer on the film.

While I thought the movie didn't do the game justice, the visuals are amazing! Knowing it was done by Mr. Tatopoulos makes sense.
The movie gets a 13% from Rotten Tomatoes, but the fans are going strong! They even host screenings of the movie in different cities like New York.

 Super Mario Bros. is a 1993 American action film directed by Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel. Based on the Super Mario Bros. video game and its entire franchise, the film features Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo, Dennis Hopper and Samantha Mathis. It tells the story of the Mario brothers, Mario and Luigi, as they find a parallel universe, where King Koopa is a dictator. They have to rescue Princess Daisy and stop Koopa from attempting to merge the dimensions so that he could become a dictator of both worlds.

Super Mario Bros. was released on May 28, 1993, and received mainly negative reviews. It was a box office bomb, recouping only $21 million of its $48 million budget. Despite this, the film was nominated for two Saturn Awards (one for Best Costume, the other for Best Make-up). - Wikpedia

One of the most dedicated fans is the owner of SMBmovie.com. He posted on a message board asking if anyone has concept art from the film. I thought I'd help out by posting what he has on his awesome site and putting the call out.

Patrick Tatopoulos' website isn't up yet, but it's at http://www.tatopoulosstudios.net/

Vin Diesel loves to tease out projects on his Facebook page. "Early Riddick concept art... first frame of a 2D Motion Choreography Study. Grrrr...The Furian... left for dead.." Vin is talking about the David Twoy directed sequel to Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick called Chronicles of Riddick: Dead Man Stalking (2011).

Official Synopsis: In the upcoming third installment of the popular sci-fi franchise, Riddick get's betrayed by the Necromonger army and is left for dead on a desolate planet. He has to fight for survival against alien predators and must deal with two squads of bounty hunters, who are coming after him to collect the bounty for the most wanted man in the galaxy.

The drawing by Patrick Tatopoulos is amazing for its sense of despair and isolation. Riddick is broken and defeated lying covered in muck. Then, a vicious looking creature stalks him ready to bite. Truly amazing.

The rest of the images were screen caps from a video shown to investors by "OneRace Films" Diesel's production company.
