Potential Concept Leaked

[BS Digital Q]

http://kaijucast.com/2010/07/24/07-23-2010-news-from-san-diego-comic-con/

Judging by the art style, looks like this artist's style: http://genzoman.deviantart.com/


Also, the movie may be called "Gojira"? Huh.

[The Great MM]

I really wouldn't complain if that is what Godzilla looks like....

[Tokyo VigilanteX]

If that's the look they go with then...Ooooooo

[Excelsior]

Kinda tough to see much, but looks cool. I kinda like the fact that they're apparently using "Gojira". It'll definitely set this film apart from GINO.

[Mecha74]

If this is legit then hallelujah!

But having said that...

I'm I the only one here that thinks that the front of that shirt looks like a shoddy Walmart iron on transfer? Back looks professional though.

Maybe it's just the way the camera shot made it look, I dunno.

[Tokyo VigilanteX]

Is there anyway someone could get ahold of someone AT ComicCon and look for this very shirt? Just a thought.

As for the design, love it. Looks serpentine and very un-heisei like.

[BS Digital Q]

A demonstration of a 3D effect the shirt has: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wAd0c4gEds

I really hope that is the design they're using, because that look awesome:thumbs:!

If only I was going to Comic Con, I really want that shirt now :laugh:.

[Showa Godzilla]

E-Bay will be your friend. :D

Indeed, it will be :D. I can't wait to see a better look at the Godzilla design!:kinggoji:

[BS Digital Q]

Also, an update: apparently the roars and beam sound in the YouTube video are conceptual ideas of what Godzilla's roar and the sound of his beam will be like in the movie. Awesome! :D

[Tokyo VigilanteX]

Dunno about that...the roar sounds like the one from Final Wars. But I like the beam sound and the possability of it being more mist like and less laser beam.

[Avery Guerra]

Here's a better look at the design:

http://robojapan.blogspot.com/2010/07/new-legendary-pictures-godzilla-design.html

[Kaiju_Sensai]

Not much to go on seeing as there's hardly any detail to it. Looks too much like G2K if you ask me. I'll wait for the finalized design before I pass judgment. Not a bad start though.

[BS Digital Q]

I'm now even more convinced this is the guy who did that: http://genzoman.deviantart.com/

[spoken deity]

looks quality.

I'm trying to figure out how they'll sell this movie to American audiences... especially if Godzilla looks traditional.

But I dont care if its a hit, lol.

[G2KMaster]

There is only one on ebay! Buy it! At $34 (give or take) right now!

It's up to $43, and it's rising. 11 Bids already.

[BS Digital Q]

And according to a guy who has seen the real deal, its a fake.

[Avery Guerra]

I still dunno bout this guys....I'll check..

[BS Digital Q]

I still dunno bout this guys....I'll check..About what? About this Godzilla, or about the t-shirt on eBay? Cause I know that the one being sold is a fake, if what I've read is true.

[Avery Guerra]

About what? About this Godzilla, or about the t-shirt on eBay? Cause I know that the one being sold is a fake, if what I've read is true.

About this even being related to L.P.'s film at all or if it's just a big elaborate hoax. Still waiting on a response. Will let ya know..

[BS Digital Q]

I really can't believe I'm still hearing this....

[Avery Guerra]

OK, guys this is officially confirmed as NOT L.P. "Godzilla" movie related story will break soon!! Sad cause it looked cool.

[BS Digital Q]

http://talkingdogar.blogspot.com/2010/07/talking-dog-makes-hollywood-connection.html

[Avery Guerra]

Dunno what to say. Just know that my source, who would know, says "confirmed as NOT movie related"... we'll just have to see what it is exactly then....doesn't make much sense at all.

[BS Digital Q]

According to what I have read, folks who have been to the Legendary booth were able to pick up these t-shirts, and there was apparently some sort of video promo going.

Sorry Avery, but until an actual legit source says otherwise, I'm going with the word of the guys actually making these things.

Sorry Avery, but until an actual legit source says otherwise, I'm going with the word of the guys actually making these things.

August Ragone has told people he was there and saw a 10 second vid too. I don't know wtf is actually going on....My guy was there too but said it was not movie related. I dunno...

[BS Digital Q]

Yeah, I just read August's post on that. I think your 'source' is BSing you Avery.

[Avery Guerra]

Yeah, I just read August's post on that. I think your 'source' is BSing you Avery.

My source is Mr. Disgusting of Bloody-Disgusting the guy who broke the original scoop about the film in the first place. I'm confused....Where did August post this?

[BS Digital Q]

On Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/San-Francisco-CA/VCinema/108722189686#!/profile.php?id=712198184&v=wall

[Avery Guerra]

I just saw that. Dunno but, I honestly don't believe August would ever make anything up. I would think my bud wouldn't either. He just said that it's not movie related....but wtf could it be? August says L.P.'s so...uggh....just dunno. I guess we'll all find out soon enough. Hopefully August will chime in with what exactly he saw. I'm out till tomorrow afternoon cause of having to crash for my day job in the a.m.

[BS Digital Q]

So I would not poo-poo this until more details come in. Apparently the t-shirt creators are gonna be doing an interview about this to explain things in more detail.

[BS Digital Q]

Double-post: We got confirmation, the shirts are legit, and the art was indeed done by the artist who goes by the name GENZOMAN on DeviantArt: http://tokyostateofmind.wordpress.com/

[Avery Guerra]

Thanks for sharing this. So we actually can get excited now. Wonderful! Now before anyone starts that "throw Avery overboard" ****:

Guys, I don't see the need in attacking me. I mean really? I'm only the messenger. I wasn't sure if this news was real or not and only inquired to find out for you guys so it didn't get out of hand and if the shirts had been fake no one would be swindeled into giving away their hard earned money. As I stated a contact that I have who has had plenty of communication with L.P. - Mr. Disgusting- the editor of Bloody-Disgusting and the guy who broke the original scoop on this film in the first place through his sources close to the project was at the event. I simply contacted him to inquire if it was legit. Now I only asked him "is this Godzilla design legit" as in from/for the film. He said he wasn't sure. That he'd inquire. Sometime later in the night/early morning he replied with "confirmed as NOT movie related".....Now we know otherwise. I dunno guys, perhaps there was some sort of confusion/miscommunication[with his sources]. The event is a HUGE and very hectic place and lots of things are taking place. He working for the no.# 1 horror site obviously is trying to catch as much stuff as he can from the countless films being repped there. I honestly can't say. I wasn't there. I'm just telling you exactly what I was told. Sorry about the delay in my response as I actually do have a day job.

That's all.

[BS Digital Q]

I wasn't sure if this news was real or not and only inquired to find out for you guys so it didn't get out of hand and if the shirts had been fake no one would be swindeled into giving away their hard earned money.The shirts being handed out at the SDCC were free, and I already had gotten confirmation the ones on eBay are fakes.

Besides, I do find it funny how you posted that massive "don't attack the messenger" thing when no one actually has.

[Avery Guerra]

They have on other boards and I didn't care to see it start here. It wasn't directed at you.

UPDATE!!!! :
I had sent the image to my bud the editor at 'TwitchFilm' to see if he too could get official verification of it, as he too has a source very close to the production, and interestingly enough "TwitchFilm" is stating:

"I'm being told that while this image does indeed originate with Legendary Pictures it is NOT necessarily movie related. What else it could be I'm not sure and I have a very hard time imagining that they would release an image like this if they were doing anything significantly different with the movie designs, but there you have it."

http://twitchfilm.net/news/2010/07/meet-the-new-godzilla.php

[BS Digital Q]

That...doesn't make much sense. I'm getting the feeling there are folks at Legendary either not in the know, uninformed, or spreading disinformation.

[Avery Guerra]

That...doesn't make much sense. I'm getting the feeling there are folks at Legendary either not in the know, uninformed, or spreading disinformation.

I dunno man. The only thing I can think is that perhaps they are going to use various designs in promotion for the film and then settle on the fan favorite? Sounds like an ingenuis idea.....Hell, could be for video games, other merchandise, etc... Obviously it was part of L.P.'s Comic-Con event but that wouldn't absolutely gaurantee that it is from the film or the official design. This may all be viral to build up hype...a mystery as many films are using now to build up an audience...Ya know, keep em' guessing. Guys we still have nearly 2 years to go......The ride could be a fun and interesting one.

[BS Digital Q]

Thing is, viral stuff involves stuff from, y'know, the actual film. Like that Joker puzzle from The Dark Knight.

[Avery Guerra]

Thing is, viral stuff involves stuff from, y'know, the actual film. Like that Joker puzzle from The Dark Knight.

Not necessarily, Sometimes viral is just made to throw fans off from figuring things out and to keep the mystery going. Dunno, this design could be from a number of related products they have in store....

[BS Digital Q]

Of course its doubtful it'll be the final design. But...

"Who designed Godzilla art featured?
The design was supplied to us by artist Jim Zubkavich of Udon Comics, working in consultation with Michael Jenson of Legendary Pictures who was our main contact at the studio."

From the makers of the t-shirts themselves. They are the most direct source right now.

Yes, but they probably don't know much either. They were only hired to do a promotion...something unique for a big event that L.P. wanted to have the film repped in some way at...a way that would leave the fans talking/debating/guessing. It could very well be that they haven't decided on an official design yet and are just testing the waters to get fans' responses as to not have to deal with the backlash like the 98' film caused it's filmmakers. This could just be a very generc design....one of many they are choosing between. It was designed by a comic book artist.....They could go with it or have their actual fx artists render something entirely different or similar. Just a thought..

[BS Digital Q]

Of course this isn't gonna be the final design. Thats not my problem. My problem is with the idea that this isn't related to the film or Legendary, as some of your "sources" have stated.

[Avery Guerra]

Of course this isn't gonna be the final design. Thats not my problem. My problem is with the idea that this isn't related to the film or Legendary, as some of your "sources" have stated.

My "sources" are 2 of the most respected news sites and movie news editors online..and one is the guys that broke the first news of this film in the first place. No, one source said it was "confirmed as NOT movie related"....while the other said; "NOT necessarily movie related"...There is a difference. Neither has said that it wasn't L.P. sourced/related. They are just saying basically that it is from L.P. but one is saying it is NOT from the film while the other is saying that it is NOT 'necessarily' from the film. It could be anything....just a genereic 'Godzilla' design for a shirt....possibly a related game or toyline...or cartoon...comic book[it was made by a comic artist]....who knows? Time will tell.... By the way- I'm not arguing bud just trying to make some sense of it all myself.;)

[Bruticus]

What I'm taking from it is basically this: LP has a bit of a partnership with TalkingDog right now, so they wanted to do some AR-related stuff and decided that Godzilla would be a suitable subject. Maybe it's a bit early to stir the pot - the movie's supposed to be 2 years away, no? - but it makes fun for everyone. I dunno, it kind of fits with the whole "promotion that's not really a promotion" thing.

As for the artwork, it's pretty cool. GENZOMAN does some great stuff, and I was kind of surprised to see his name attached to anything Godzilla-related. Like others here, I doubt that it's actual concept art for the film, but if it was, I'd be okay with the design. It kind of looks like the Aurora KKvG model meets G2K.

And just for the hell of it, I feel like noting that TalkingDog Studios is based in a city just 45 minutes away from me.

Short of an official announcement/statement, I'm trusting the word of the t-shirt makers that this i indeed film related.

[Avery Guerra]

I think these are pretty good/reasonable assesments of the situation; qouted from other fans from other boards with kind permission:

Mechascorpio:

"Talking Dog President Rob Bryanton posts some background information about this marketing project on his own blog in response to questions he is getting:

http://imaginingthetenthdimension.blogspot.com/2010/07/gojira.html

Key points:

- Legendary contacted Talking Dog to help promote the upcoming film for SDCC
- LP is "in the very first stages of production, so it's not like they could show us all clips from the movie or anything yet"
- The Godzilla design was by artist Jim Zubkavich of Udon Comics, working in consultation with Michael Jenson of LP
- The shirts were being distributed by LP at SDCC, not TD


Based on this, I think I understand what Avery and his contacts might be telling him, but this is just my interpretation: LP isn't ready to start full promo of Godzilla at Comic-Con, but they wanted to do something. They've been working on AR-based film promotions with Talking Dog. They wanted to do something special for SDCC, so they did these shirts and the AR to create a bit of buzz. But the basis of the whole thing is rather "Godzilla generic", and no one seems to be indicating that it's at all reflective of actual pre-production work. It's just buzz for LP and Talking Dog and a bonus for the fans at the show.

Seems like a reasonable explanation to me. Yes, it's news, but I do think that the hunger for more news has many reading way too much into a t-shirt promotion.

I made a joke elsewhere that I was glad to see that the t-shirt is black because it means the film will be dark. At this point, it's all speculation and at the end of the day, it's just a t-shirt and some very early marketing.

So please, let's not start ripping each other over this, or it's going to be a very long two years."


Metal Bryan:

"I thought it was fairly obvious that this is just teaser material to create a buzz and the "not related" statement very clearly confirms that. They don't want misinformation going around that this is actual design work for the movie. It's not. It's just some concept art they asked a comic book guy to do for SDCC."

[KingKaiju]

All i gotta say is...sdffjkjeeijvhejivlejkvbewljkvnfwejklvbdfjklvb kljvbnefjklbefjkbwefjkvbewfjkvnwejknvwjvnwekj

That's how friggin excited i am at seeing this!!!! skjfhljffjkhjkvejjberjbvjkbjvb!!!!!!!!!!!

This is how it should be! True to the original but updated for the audiences of today!! PLEASE give us a legit Godzilla movie! We need a monster trashing the city that is indestructable that blows cities away with it's atomic heat breath and fights to the death against another badass monster! We DON'T need a stupid love story that has nothing to do with the film, which no one cares about.

[G2KMaster]

People: shut the hell up and watch the teaser trailer August snagged:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5xzZrst0jM

And in my opinion, the shirt and design are genuine and were comissioned by LP, but it may or may not be a design LP is considering. Chances are that if they see all of the praise the fans have with the design that they will use it as a basis for further designs and such. Now watch the trailer. It is the first 6 seconds. Thank August Ragone.

[BS Digital Q]

People: shut the hell up and watch the teaser trailer August snagged:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5xzZrst0jM*ahem* Kindly drop the attitude.


Anyway, Not really much to go on. I noticed though that among the titles scrolled onscreen, it was called "Godzilla." Kinda interesting given the "Gojira" title on the t-shirts. Wonder if the makers did that or if it was a Legendary addition.

[Avery Guerra]

Ahem....:

http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/21054

Nuff' said on that....

Also here's a site that shares a theory that I had mentioned.

http://www.joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=23289

[BS Digital Q]

So this Michael Jenson guy at Legendary was bull******** the t-shirt makers huh?

[Avery Guerra]

So this Michael Jenson guy at Legendary was bull******** the t-shirt makers huh?

I honestly don't see how this is so hard for some people to understand and I'm not directing that at you as many don't seem to get it. The design is NOT the one they plan on using for the film. It is just a design they hired this comic book artist to create for this particular event and that's all. They needed some sort of image to stand for the general look of what they believe the character should look like [which doesn't mean that they won't add their own touches to it] and to assure the fans that this is NOT another 98' debacle and wanted something freshly made....Their design could still be under developement as it's still so very early and they may want to keep it a secret/surprise for some time. It was made by L.P. and was used at this event but is just a generic, even if rather cool, design to promote the event and the film but it is NOT the design they are using for their film. Who knows though they could possibly use one very similar if the reaction is good enough.

[BS Digital Q]

But see, thats not what bugs me. What bugs me is folks saying its not movie related, period, when the t-shirt makers themselves stated Legendary commissioned them for this, even mentioning a prominent executive as being involved.

Of course its not the final design. Its a friggin' promo.

What I have trouble with is a random guy with some secret source who I have absolutely no care in the world for coming in and saying it is absolutely not involved with the movie at all. Of course it ****ing is. Is it concept art? Hell no! I was pretty confident of that from the very beginning. But what was also clear is that this is tied into the film and promoting it at a time when Legendary has little to nothing else to do so.

It is for the film. The t-shirt makers say so, and they name a Legendary executive as being behind it. Thats good enough for me. Short of a press release by Legendary themselves explaining everything that went on, I'm not buying what BD has said at all.

[Goji Son]

I'm happy that isn't the final design because it sucks.


Also, that trailer didn't reveal anything aside from showing footage of different video game cinematics.

[Excelsior]

Sorry, but that vid was lame.

Larger version of the art, if anyone wants it:

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/45923

[goji04]

I wish we could just put this whole "it's not lp" thing to rest, because by now this is pretty much confirmed.

As for that teaser trailer, it's more of a promo for the film than an actual trailer. I bet it's just LP stating that it's one of the films on thier list.

[Angiru-San]

This piece of art is a one sheet commisioned by Legendary Pictures from a comic book artist - SOLELY FOR PROMOTIONAL USES AT COMICCON. That is it.

If anything, there should be a lot less whining about the design and a lot more celebration that this art is multitudes closer to the Godzilla we all know and love than the last american attempt. Its bulky, charcoal grey, has ears, blue atomic breath, and a true bipedal stance.

Seriously, as a Godzilla fan, no one has anything to ***** about right now. We are getting a new, much more faithful, high budget Godzilla film here in the states. In genera, for that matter.

All is good in our fandom - and it kind of irks me to see the majority quarreling over the small sheit.

[DinoGeekProductions]

All is good in our fandom - and it kind of irks me to see the majority quarreling over the small sheit.
Thank you. Godzilla's skin is still grey, and his beam is still blue. I'm now prepared to go see this movie ten times...

[BS Digital Q]

I've heard very little actual whining about the design from fans. Pretty much every negative reaction has been from a non-fan/hater or fan of the GINO abomination.

[lbh]

Hey I'm just glad they did Something for Comic-con. I think for early concept art it looks Great. One question though....have they given him a Tail Spike??;)

[DinoGeekProductions]

Hey I'm just glad they did Something for Comic-con. I think for early concept art it looks Great. One question though....have they given him a Tail Spike??;)
That's what I thought at first, but I think it's just a case of a dorsal plate obscuring the view of his tail tip.

[lbh]

That's what I thought at first, but I think it's just a case of a dorsal plate obscuring the view of his tail tip.
I know what you are saying I thought that as well but it seems to be leaning a bit to far to the side to be a platelet and I think I can see smaller platelets drawn infront of it that seem undisturbed by a larger one leaning so far:confused:

[Goji Son]

Ok, I know I said the design sucks but Ang's point is pretty spot on. I just can't get over how awkward the right (really his left) hand looks and how his dorsal plates seem to awkwardly jut out to one side. I know it's just a concept but it still bugs me.

[DinoGeekProductions]

I know what you are saying I thought that as well but it seems to be leaning a bit to far to the side to be a platelet and I think I can see smaller platelets drawn infront of it that seem undisturbed by a larger one leaning so far:confused:
You're right. That is his tail tip!.... Bad ***. I'd love to see Mothra try and bite that!

[BS Digital Q]

Ahem....:

http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/21054I talked with Jim Zubkavich, the project manager for the t-shirt at UDON Comics. He had this to say...

"Legendary Pictures (the studio under Warner Brothers that is creating the new film) hired us to do the piece and they gave away shirts with the design on it at San Diego Comicon, so it is official.

The final design of Godzilla in the film may be changed as production rolls along, but the artwork was done officially as promotion for the film."

[Tokyo VigilanteX]

I think alot of this friction is stemming from just an overwhelming desire for news. This is the first big nibble for us to chew over since the project was even announced, and all this contradictory information and the possability of it being fake is understandably frustrating.

And I love the design. I like the vague newtesque look to the head and hope some level of amphibiousness remains.

All in all, I think this is LP just trying to keep the whole project on everyones radar. Godzilla could all too easily get lost in the hype surrounding all the other nerd centric films coming out. Did Batman get any such promotion this year at comicon? This is a strong indicator of them taking things seriously.

[goji04]

The right hand does bother me, it looks kind of weird, and at first i thought the tail was some kind of dorsal fin sticking out at a strange angle.

Yet let's not whine about such stupid details, it looks awesome, and it's Godzilla. Like Angiru-san said, we have a Godzilla that looks like Godzilla and I don't think LP would have let them do any design that they probably would not make for the new film. So I'm pretty sure we are a getting a sweet Goji.

[chillening]

Concept art is usually more detailed than that. That looks more like a promotional/marketing gimmick to me.

[Angiru-San]

Concept art is usually more detailed than that. That looks more like a promotional/marketing gimmick to me.

Thats because it isn't concept art. It is a piece of art by a comic book artist used simply for promotional purposes.

Do we need to put this in bold, flashy letters somewhere!? :P

[SuperXAsh]

Yeah alotta GINO fans, elsewhere on the net, have been belly-aching.

I'd like to see the final product to be, at least, based more on THIS picture than anything else.

Though if my memory of that old Barry's Godzilla site, this wouldn't be the first time "officials" have denied what became THE final version.

[goji04]

Yeah alotta GINO fans, elsewhere on the net, have been belly-aching.



Ughh, non-fans, or anti-fans, sometimes even called z-fans. I once read a post on some clovefield facebook group that went on an idiotic speel about how "Godzilla Sucks". Needless to the teenage poster was owned a few comments down by a more adult g-fan. I mean most of these people are just teenagers that never saw the old series as kids, and only saw the 98' film.

I love that post! The way it calls Godzilla the most unrealistic monster in history when its a sub division of the Cloverfield fan page, the way he tries to bring in science and physics (and fails misserably) to prove his point when the Cloverfield monsters is even more ridiculous, the way it treats Godzilla 1998 like a faithful adaptation, and the way the kid can't even remember G98 just makes it hilarious.

I LOL every time i hear people try to seriously explain how all these monsters could exist. Hell, from what i can recall the ******bags who made the 1998 movie wanted Zilla like that because he'd be more..."realistic" hahahaha even though there was nothing realistic to begin with hahahaa

[goji04]

I never did understand how an iguana grew the body of a trex. As well, back to Lp's version, it seems that they want to starve us of information as if we are a swarm of hungry children, ready to pounce at any drop. Still, I'll admit it's kind of fun to watch this whole thing from start to finish.

Honestly, I'm just not feeling the whole GMK demonic monster god thing...Godzilla's pretty extreme as it is...let's not push it any further by making him into a giant raging demon in the form of a fire breathing dinosaur who's sole purpose is to kill humans...

I mean, don't get me wrong, i like GMK and the Godzilla design, but i just want Legendary pictures to stick the the original, giant monster created out of man's irresponsibility of nuclear power...as long as it ain't Zilla...

Thank you. I liked GMK. It was a nice little experiment (though, it would've been better with new monsters, not Ghidorah and Mothra). However, that isn't Godzilla. Not the Godzilla I knew, anyway. Godzilla isn't evil. He just does what he feels is right (even if that means kicking people around to remind them whose boss). Also, I know alot of people like to think of Godzilla as a character, but I think GMK gave him a little more credit than he deserved. Godzilla deliberately going after other characters, and being more intelligent and malicious than usual was just too unlike the old Godzilla I knew and loved for my taste. Godzilla isn't evil. He's just an antihero.

^^ I always thought Gmk was pretty overrated. No weird demonic crap, Goji shud be either a commentary on use of nuclear arms, or a desrutcive monster tat is here to save the planet, and anything threatning it. Including man haha.

For sure man, i mean to me, even saying he's an antihero is pushing it ya know. I think when you look at Godzilla, whatever form, in a way he is a hero. He fights for what he believes and never gives up until his goal has been reached. Whether it be he's a giant mutated dinosaur who's confused and lost because he's in a different time in the middle of a giant city or because he's a being of the world out to stop the evil space invaders. The whole, "Godzilla is an evil demon set on the earth's destruction" just doesn't go well with me. He shouldn't deliberately be out to harm humans ya know, he just wants what he feels is rightfully his. Imo, that's the Godzilla we should see in this movie and that's the Godzilla we all grew up with.

I prefer the more scientific approach when it comes to Godzilla's character myself. Whenever the Godzilla films portrayed him in some extreme form- as a superhero or as an evil demon- it took me out of the story because I thought it was unconvincing. The best way to portray Godzilla is simply as a living thing driven by instinct and a will to live. The moment you start giving him specific missions, goals, or desires, you turn him into a plot device.

Funnily enough, Twitch Films had another potential image for Godzilla's design, purported to be some fan art that Legendary Pictures were considering...

Shame it's now not considered genuine as I think it looks sweet!!
