Submersible prop used in BBC's The Deep TV series...

This cool underwater submersible prop is from the British television mini-series, The Deep, broadcast on the BBC in 2010. This submersible designed by Production Designer Simon Bowles, was used in the drama starring Minnie Driver, Goran Visnjic and James Nesbitt.

In fact it's not a real underwater submersible, but actually a sophisticated looking fixed set, that with modern CGI techniques was made to look as if it was traveling through deep water.

This TV prop was photographed on display at the London Film Museum on January 25, 2011.

Kathy Bates prosthetic dummy and hobbling sledgehammer prop from Misery...

In 1990's movie adaptation of Stephen King's 1987 novel, Misery, Kathy Bates stars as the obsessed 'number one fan' who discovers the injured author (played by James Caan) of her favourite novel heroine 'Misery Chastain'.

In his latest book, Misery was killed off by the famous writer and now 'Annie Wilkes' holds him hostage whilst he brings the character back to life in a new installment. She even goes so far as to 'hobble' the writer, breaking his ankles with a sledgehammer, to keep him confined to his bed and completing the book to her satisfaction.

'Paul Sheldon' has to use his author's imagination to concoct a plan to escape from his psychotic captor and I assume this prosthetic dummy of Kathy Bates was used in his final battle with the madwoman.

Original Super 8 movie costumes on display...

J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg's new sci-fi thriller, Super 8, may still be shrouded in mystery, but ArcLight Hollywood, ArcLight Pasadena and the Cinerama Dome all had costume displays to help fuel fan excitement for the new movie.

Original costumes from Super 8 on display

Apparently the movie is set in 1979 and follows the events of a group of children making a Super 8 movie when they witness a mysterious train crash in a small Ohio town. The plot and storyline are hard to discern at this time, but amidst the secrecy there are rumblings about some kind of alien being transported on that train, which leads to all kinds of creepy phenomenon happening around their home town.

I'm told that dust was added to the child actors clothing for these exhibits to make them more dirty and look more authentic to how they appear in the movie.
