Stephan Martiniere is a long-serving concept artist who has worked on some of the biggest (or best) movies of the past fifteen years, from the new Star Wars movies to Fifth Element to Tron Legacy.
He also served as art director on idās 2011 shooter Rage (Stephen interviewed him a few years back about the project), and also worked on games like Stranglehold and Area 51. What weāre here for today, though, is his work on the Total Recall reboot which hit US cinemas last week.

Say what you will about the movie itself ā and opinions are a little mixed ā the world Martiniere helped create is a gorgeous one, and for gamers is something that instantly brings to mind recent titles like Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Syndicate

āI was concentrating on establishing an environment that felt both intricate, busy and cohesive, a world that was familiar but also would take your breath away.ā
