We discuss proposals to use ultra-intense laser interaction with high-Z targets to generate strongly magnetized relativistic electron-positron plasmas. We will review the recent theoretical developments and experimental results in support of this concept. In particular we will show Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations of double-sided illuminations with peta-watt-class lasers, and the subsequent evolution of the electron-positron fireball. We will address scaling issues between laser plasmas and astrophysical plasmas and identify those physical aspects that can be studied in the laboratory. Finally we will discuss how astrophysical particle energization mechanisms can potentially be studied using laser-generated relativistic plasmas.
