More Of The Stunning Concept Art Sketches Created By Production Designer Ondrej Nekvasil For Bong Joon-Ho's

More of the stunning concept art sketches created by production designer Ondrej Nekvasil for Bong Joon-Ho's visionary science fiction film, "Snowpiercer". +++ 01. At the end of the mind-blowing Aquarium Section lies an adjacent sushi bar, which as Minister Mason revealed in the film, serves the tasty Japanese dish only during January and July. 02. The Classroom Section and its brightly decorated interiors which was faithfully realized in the film in acid-bright saturated colors that matched the demented cheerfulness of the Teacher and her privileged pupils. 03. The interior of the Lounge + Salon Section took its grand opulence by channeling the spirit of luxury cruise ships from the 1930s. 04. Floor-to-ceiling windows filter in the light of an eternal winter inside the Swimming Pool Section. Fun fact: actress Octavia Spencer (who plays Tanya in the film) stated that this was her favorite part of the train during filming. 05. The set design for the Nightclub Section was intended to reference the decadent interiors of Manhattan discotheques from the 1980s but with a more modern twist. 06. The plush and hazy interiors of the Kronol Den Section also referenced the same '80s nightclubs of Manhattan where the discreet back rooms allowed partygoers to indulge in drugs and other narcotics. 07. The final design of Wilford's domain, the Engine Section, was conceived as a metallic spheroid monstrosity that production designer Ondrej Nekvasil described as "the chapel at the end of the road."

As the release of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 01" draws closer, a series of striking propaganda posters from The Capitol have been released; proclaiming a false sense of peace and unity within the conflicted post-apocalyptic nation by promoting the rallying cry of "One Panem" as a means to distract the population from the rising rebellion sparked by The Girl on Fire, Katniss Everdeen. The collection of posters above features 'everyday heroes' handpicked by the Capitol Ministry of Information and endorsed by President Coriolanus Snow himself, who declared the following statement upon their public debut: "Today we celebrate the proud men and women who live and breathe their Districts. Today we are One Panem." The various Panem citizens featured in the propaganda posters represent some of the outlying Districts that provide specific needs to the Capitol and the rest of the country. They are:

Fibre Bissette, age 32, from District 3 (Technology)

Naida Dolan, age 22, from District 4 (Fishing)

Malcolm Kastel, age 31, from District 6 (Transportation)

Elias Haan, age 26, from District 7 (Lumber)

Triti Lancaster, age 17, from District 9 (Grain)

Felix Stam, age 35, from District 10 (Livestock)

Lily Elsington, age 6, from Distrct 12 (Mining)

ACCURATE. And by that I mean, I am the despotic Prime Minister to your Divine Keeper of the Sacred Engine, bb fyeahsnowpiercer! ;)
