"I suspect these are just production photoshop composite jobbies "

I don't think so, they're available on the official site as well.

Got them from the official blog, they are from the New York backlot and the dude in the red leather Jacket is Mr Rorschach!!!

[Goaty]

wow looks good! but hope they will add the grafitti of couples???

[johnnystress]

I'm sure they're official

They just look like production/concept work to me

Could be wrong though

[the shutdown man]

Well if they're concept work then they're pretty in-depth concept work. But since they're filming at the moment I'm pretty sure they're actual set pictures.

Note the "Veldt - Sport" ad on the end of the bus stop.

Aren't those cars putting out a lot of exhaust for electric?  And is that just a regular hydrant beind Bernie?  Maybe there's hope for Hollis yet!

Also, the Holywood ban on smoking seems to be in full effect - where are all those cool glass pipes?

I am however glad to see it's still set in 1985, to judge by the Nixon poster.

I still hate everything about this project, mind.

The electric cars only come into being at the end of the book.

Ah, dude, give it a chance till you've seen it! It looks freaking excellent so far if you ask me. I'll reserve judgement myself - it could well be shite, but let's wait and see

Can't woik yon linky, but I don't think that's the case - isn't the the reason Bernie sits beside Bernard's newstand, because the electric power 'hydrant' is warm?  

I grant you that some of the other scenes could be in the past, and I know that petrol cars are still about (I was looking for negatives cos I hate the idea of the movie), but Jon more-or-less tells Hollis that his car mechanic business is screwed way back at the time of his retirement (early 70's?), and you don't get the impression that he's exactly run off his feet in the 'contemporary' scenes.
