The last time filmmakers tried to reboot Godzilla, it sucked like a prostitute named Dyson Hoover. This time, some say, the new take by Legendary Pictures will be better. Skeptics being skeptical, that idea inspired some incredulity, so what could proponents do to help convince the non-believers?
We present … Exhibit G!
Images of an impressive Godzilla sculpture created by Hector A. Arce are swirling around the monster-verse and if this is what they're eventually going with, this remake project is going to crush all pretenders.
Arce made the artwork several years ago and its retro coolness led to his joining Legendary's design team. According to website Infamous Kidd, aside from a few minor tweaks, this will be the final version used in the movie. Last year, we were given a sneak peek at an anime-style Godzilla poster and a menacing dino-head mock-up based on Arce's rendering that energized Tokyo-trouncing fanatics and gave an idea where the design team was leaning—mean, macho and more scaly spikes. And apparently the use of CGI will be limited, instead relying on the more old-school rubber-suited rendition.
It's like Saturday afternoon in pajamas all over again.
