Terry Ackland-Snow is a legend in the film industry, having created some of cinemaā€™s most memorable worlds ā€“ and heā€™s penned a book. If you ever fancied building your own ā€™89 Batmobile (and letā€™s face it, who hasnā€™t seriously considered quitting their day job and building Batmobiles all day, every day), then youā€™re in luck as a new book might contain all of the blueprints you need. Terry Ackland-Snow, the legendary art director who worked on two James Bond films, Aliens, Batman, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Labyrinth and The Rocky Horror Picture Show is releasing a lovely new book containing contains unpublished images, production sketches, and a promised ā€˜wealth of amusing and revealing anecdotes.ā€™ The Art of Film: Working On James Bond, Aliens, Batman and More by Terry Ackland-Snow is set to launch this month, and even if you donā€™t own your own Batcave in which you could use the book to construct a Batmobile of your very own, weā€™re pretty sure the book would look great in any Nerdcave, or even on your coffee table. In 2001, Ackland-Snow established the Film Design International Art Direction Training Course at Pinewood Film Studios and has overseen teaching there, so you can imagine he might have a tale or two to tell from those days as well. The book is set to launch on 24th March ā€“ you can find more on it here. ā€” Thank you for visiting! If youā€™d like to support our attempts to make a non-clickbaity movie website: Follow Film Stories on Twitter here, and on Facebook here.
