"Godzilla" - Back to Suits? Possible Design? Nope, Hoax.

[tenup]

^ its definitely just a rumor that will go nowhere. I'm sure LP will pull out something exceptional for their design of Godzilla. It will have to be something that will resemble the traditional design but be noticeably updated and distinctive to the LP label. As far as that comic con shirt design goes it is already currently in use with the Kingdom Of Monsters comic series as far as I can tell. Look at the first issue and tell me if the last page doesn't look exactly like that shirt.

I sota like it ,but It looks way to cartooney for a movie. But only if if they use this or something like it.
Mabye it would work better for a video game power-up or an anime/cartoon or comicbooks.

The image's style, however, is consistent with the observation from Bob Eggleton that designs he's seen have made the monster look toxic and spiky. Those words pretty much sum up what we're seeing here. I just hope that they don't make him so anonymous and ugly in appearance.

Wait your saying Bob Eggleton has actually seen designs for LP's Godzilla?

Stop with the 2014 stuff. LP has yet to release anything official as of yet so 2012 is all we can go on for now since it was their original grand plan.

Oh please. You're really still holding on to 2012? Really? Really??

2011 will be over in 3 months. 2012's movie release schedule is booked solid. There's no room for Godzilla. 2014 (or possibly 2013) is far, far more likely at this point than 2012. Anyone supporting the 2012 release date has got to come to grips with reality and face the fact that odds don't favor it. At all. "LP has yet to release anything official"...so we have to assume 2012 is still valid?

How does that make any sense? I think that's honestly a clear indication that this thing is far from being on track for 2012. That and, you know, every major movie coming out next year has a release date.

Well the original article stated Edwards was more concerned with his Robot Star Wars project right now, and while the Godzilla information is a hilariously obvious hoax, I've heard something to that extent elsewhere so I think that bit is probably true. Godzilla is not Gareth Edwards' top priority.

Regardless, I'll go retitle the thread

You shouldn't have to. I still insist the date on this subforum just be removed and the forum just be called "Legendary Pictures' Godzilla" with no date at all.

[Hellspawn28]

^I agree with moving the date as well since I have a good feeling that we are going to have a lot of angry kids joining the forums and be like "What the hell? It's 2012 and no Godzilla". Studios are finding summer 2013 dates for their movies now and I'm starting to think that we won't see this until fall or winter 2013 by the earliest.

Exactly. Why misinform?

Because the concept of convenience is apparently lost on the higher ups.

Apparently so. Another recent thread (I believe the one entitled "The Look" or something to that effect) has a quote from him. This creature, which I don't like at all, looks similar to what he describes having seen.

"I saw one piece of concept art and they seemed to be going the direction of a Burning Godzilla...the spikes were all hot and on fire...All the concept art seems to show this thing that looks like Space Godzilla meets Burning Godzilla, a mountain of toxic waste and garbage with spikey things on it's arms, and burning back spikes."

Not really. Where's the radioactive, Burning Godzilla-esque glow? Where's the Space Godzilla influence? I don't see toxic waste and garbage. Spikes on its arms, yes, but burning back spikes, no.

More miss than hit.

[xenotactics]

The quote certainly doesn't show any burning, but that creature's irregular texture and swampy complexion look awfully toxic to me. It's a matter of opinion, but when that image first emerged (long before this quote), I thought first of a bad fan-imagined Venom-Godzilla hybrid and of Hedorah (hence the toxic element). This looks like Godzilla came from the sewer.

Yeah, maybe if it were a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle character. DEM ARMS



btw ^ confirmed for Gamera 2014 design

Also, guys, this guy has other ideas about how Godzilla could be redesigned as well.

What are you trying to do, give me a heart attack or something?

I love Tokka!

You know what they say about monsters with big feet

Anthony's just lazy. :b

Those designs are depressing. Obviously, the guy has no shortage of talent, but I hate the human musculature that he puts on everything. Neither of his Godzillas look much like the monster at all.

[Jomei]

If it does end up being a design of that sort, I declare here and now that the fan term for it will be TMNG (Teenage Mutant Ninja Goji).

Late 2012 is still possible. Not probable, unless they've already gotten a nice chunk of pre-production done in secret, but stranger things have happened.

2013 seems most likely, and smartest. 2012 is packed with waaaaay too much competition.
