Remember this photo going through circulation?
I can't remember if it was ruled out as fan art or actual production sketch?
But if it is a "pre-production sketch", did hear anyone entertain the idea that this is a potential Spacegodzilla design and not a Godzilla design. He wouldn't be a bad idea for a foe for the launch film cause he doesn't need, nor has he had, a thick story. The first movie may require most of the film time to revolve around Godzilla and have a opponent with a smaller not as flushed story. Enter Spacegodzilla.
He seeks energy and destroys cities to harvest it (an over simplification).
The space background is a HUGE stretch, no matter which way you spin it, but the movie could be in favour fun over realism. I don't know if I'd be for it or against it, but likely the latter. I think Rodan would do nice the first film cause he's expendable and you could always fall back on the multiple rodan plot point for future films if desired.
Currently living in Taiwan (month 9).
If anyone is considering teaching English abroad as a good way to travel. I recommend you do it now and that you consider Taiwan. So far, I think it has the best of Southeast Asia.
