This rare Aloha: Art Concept Book offers a unique and comprehensive glimpse into the creative development of the 2015 romantic comedy-drama film starring Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone. Beyond the concept sketches and movie poster ideas, the book also features behind-the-scenes photographs, early designs, and illustration notes that reveal the artistic vision behind the movie. It showcases how the filmmakers and artists collaborated to capture the lush, tropical setting of Hawaii and translate the narrative’s emotional beats into visual elements. Fans of the film and art enthusiasts alike will find valuable insight into the production process, as the collection encapsulates the evolution of the movie's aesthetic, giving a rare peek into concepts that never made it to the final cut.

The hardcover edition measures a substantial 43.5cm by 28cm, making it a visually impressive collector’s item. With over 60 pages of rich content, it not only highlights celebrity photographs and promotional materials but also includes sketches from the creative team, which provide context to key scenes.

This art book is perfect for those interested in film design, marketing, and the intricate process of bringing a cinematic world to life, offering an immersive experience that goes beyond the final screen version of Aloha.

Aloha is a 2015 romantic comedy-drama directed by Cameron Crowe that features a notable ensemble cast. The movie stars Bradley Cooper as Brian Gilcrest, a military contractor who returns to Hawaii for a job overseeing the launch of a new satellite. Emma Stone plays Allison Ng, an Air Force pilot with a deep connection to the islands’ culture and history, adding emotional depth to the storyline. Rachel McAdams appears as Tracy Woodside, Brian's former lover with a complicated past. The film also includes memorable performances by Bill Murray as Captain Allison, a quirky tour guide, and John Krasinski as Carson Welch, Brian's military associate. The cast's chemistry and the actors’ portrayal of diverse characters contribute greatly to the film’s exploration of themes like love, culture, and redemption.

WHAT YOU GET:

This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.

IMAGES:

All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.

COMPATIBILITY:

Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.

PLATFORM:

Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.

64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.

Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.

MEDIA FORMAT:

Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:

  • Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
  • Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
  • Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.


  • SHIPPING:

    We typically ship all items out within 1-2 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage.

    International buyers please email/chat with us to determine if you are eligible for shipping of a specific product. If you are, then international buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
