This is such a great opportunity, this website, to tell you how unique and soul binding your movies are.
“What Dreams May Come” has been my favorite movie for 10 years: the pleasure of painting, to vibrate with the fresh paint on the canvas, how hypnotic and exhilarating it is to a painter. And even though this movie was shot in Hollywood, there was room for true love, soulmates reuniting and saving the one you love to the risk of losing yourself.
Then I discovered “Navigator” which is again a complete wonder to me: the photography is magnificent, the story is incredibly clever… And again one is captured by the human emotions and values expressed throughout the movie.
Lovely site! The Navigator has been important to me, since I first saw it when it came out while I was in high school back in the late 80s. It mesmerized me then, and now. Twenty years on, I’ve written a novella about the plague, and time slip and magical realism novels about the middle ages, and I think I can trace a lot of that to the awe I felt, experiencing the strangeness of a different world (from both sides of that story). Thank you for making such a unique, visceral, emotional movie.
A very lovely web site. The Navigator is your most memorable film for me. I loved the use of black and white in the medieval sequences and the scenes where the characters try to deal with 20th Century highways. I saw The Navigator when it came out in late 1980s and would love to watch it again.
Fascinating look at Arceon and the whole Alien 3 concept: looking forward to the rest of the story. The Alien Quadrilogy DVD was interesting, but this provides a whole new insight.
What I can add to the previous comments is that all films by Vincent Ward differ from the others in a big way. I especially enjoyed “What Dreams May Come” and “Map of the Humain Heart”. I`m looking forward to seeing new films and a new book which was promised to be published this year. I`m really impressed by the way you create your films and I can hardly compare your talent of a director & a screenwriter with somebody else. Thank you very much,best wishes.
Alien 3- well, that´s a long time ago now.
But one thing is for sure: back in the days Hollywood studios were rather open to concepts of that kind than nowadays.
On the other hand, would there have been a
toyline of those sanctuaries instead of captain hook? I don´t think so.
As soon as you publish that storyboard in form of a catalogue I´m your first customer.
Best regards, the sci-fi fan Florian.
Thank you for you comments Florian,
Yeah it would be great to make a book!
We are hoping to post the next 2 chapters in a week or two.
And the final chapter in about 3 months.

As an avid fan of the Alien(s) story I would like to deeply thank you for including your teams amazing conceptual drawings and storyboards here on your site. They are remarkable. And the creation of the ‘Unrequited Vision’ as a graphic novel adds depth and richness to a story that would have been a truly unique.
What a fantastic resource Vincent! I’m absorbed by your films and its wondrous to read / see them from your perspective too. Thanks
Congratulations — this really is a wonderful (& well overdue) site.
I sincerely hope you keep refining & adding to it over time.
I also hope the owner keeps making wonderful films & increases his output in future!
It’s a magnificent website, giving a very fine record of some very fine movies.
Hi,
It has been said that a song by rock band Guns N’ Roses, \This I Love,\ was to be considered for a film by Ward, \What Dreams May Come.\
Does Ward still have this version of the song?
Great website by the way, very appealing.
Thanks,
Josh

Interesting site. I really enjoyed Map of the Human Heart.

I love your work, stunning. Did you do the theater in Marie’s room (What Dreams my Come)? I gasp every time I see it
