Matt Murdock's blind cane prop

used by Ben Affleck in Daredevil

Also on display was the extendable cane prop used by Ben Affleck as the blind attorney, 'Matt Murdock' and his vigilante superhero alter-ego, in the 2003 adaptation of Marvel Comics Daredevil. I love the devil's head detail at the top of the cane.

Keeping to props, this machete was used by James McAvoy as an assassin-in-training, 'Wesley Gibson' in the 2008 comic book movie, Wanted, when he's trained by the Fraternity's 'Butcher'.

Costumes from Cirque du Soleil O on display...

On my first visit to Las Vegas earlier this year on April 7, I was fortunate enough to enjoy Cirque du Soleil's fantastical aquatic themed show 'O' at The Bellagio Hotel.

I was reminded the other day that I'd snapped some of the amazing costumes featured in the show that were on display in the theatre's foyer.

The show is such a visual spectacle of acrobatics, diving and performance art, that it's hard to notice the detail of the costumes from afar, so it was great to see them up close. I especially liked the female synchronized swimmers outfits, with their jeweled scales.

The wonderful costumes were designed by Dominique Lemieux in 1998 and the make-up for the show was created by Nathalie Gagne.

Minotaur and Mondragon costumes from Immortals on display...

In Immortals, a mortal hero 'Theseus' (Henry Cavill) is chosen by the Greek gods to fight for humanity against 'King Hyperion' (Mickey Rourke) and his hordes, plus legendary mythological creatures like the minotaur.

Original Immortals movie costumes on display

These villain costumes from the movie designed by Eiko Ishioka were photographed on display in the ArcLight Hollywood cinema foyer on October 17, 2011, where they were installed by Olson Visual.

First up is the severe leather and animal hide costume worn by one of King Hyperion's Heraclean army, 'Mondragon', played by Matthew G. Taylor in the movie.

Next up is an even more spectacular costume and mask from Tarsem Singh's epic fantasy, the re-imagined 'Minotaur' of legend.

Actual Minotaur costume worn by Robert Maillet in Immortals

Robert Maillet plays the unstoppable Minotaur, referred to as 'The Beast' in Immortals, and the towering seven foot tall Canadian actor can be seen in full costume in brutal battle against Theseus in the movie.

Minotaur mask

The Minotaur's mask is pretty amazing, as it's actually a mask within a barbed wiremask which is a great idea, although you can imagine it can't be comfortable to wear, move or even fight in. In the movie the barbed mask is coated with poison to inflict maximum damage to enemies.

If you like these fantastical creations, be sure to check out the costumes worn by Theseus and Zeus in Immortals too.

I don't know about you, but these original Immortals costumes are getting me pretty excited for the movie out on November 11, 2011.

Theseus and Zeus costumes from Immortals...

In Immortals Henry Cavill stars as 'Theseus', a mortal chosen by the king of the Greek gods, 'Zeus', to battle the ruthless 'King Hyperion' before he can free the imprisoned Titans and destroy all humanity and the gods of Olympus.

These two costumes featured in the mythological movie were photographed on display at ArcLight Sherman Oaks cinema on October 17, 2011, where they were installed by Olson Visual.

Eiko Ishioka was Costume Designer on Immortals and you can also see her work in The Cell and Bram Stoker's Dracula amongst other films.

Theseus costume worn by Henry Cavill in Immortals

Forbidden to interfere in the wars of mankind, Theseus is a peasant who is chosen by Zeus to lead the fight for humanity against Hyperion (Mickey Rourke), who leads an army in search of the fabled Epirius Bow that will unleash the Titans on the world.

This is the battle armour that Henry Cavill wears as the mortal hero, although for most of the movie he's not afraid to show of his well toned physique (well the film is from the producers of 300, after all).

Also included in the exhibit was the costume worn by Luke Evans as father of the Greek Pantheon, Zeus.

Again it's another costume where you need a buff body to show off your rippling abs and pumped up pecs.

Seeing these amazing costumes up close makes me want to see the movie on the big screen even more.
