First Look at the new Godzilla?

Some concept art in the form of a sculpted model have been circulating the net this morning that could be our first look at the newest attempt to re-adapt Godzilla to the big screen.

Looks pretty impressive to me, but I liked the look of the last Hollywood Godzilla underbite and all.

I didn’t mind the last Hollywood Godzilla movie,(didn’t love it) but I thought it was a little too “light” despite the horrors they were trying to portray. The raptor-zillas seemed a bit excessive as well. I want this to be about a pissed off giant lizard that comes out of the depths for no reason but to stop on fleeing pedestrians.

  1. no mistake its godzilla, looks like the one from the 98 film, with more detail and a darker look, hope this one does better than the one in 98′

    i know this is off topic but you know what would make an awesome movie, norse mythology vs greek mythology, or marvel should make an animated film of thor vs hercules, i dont know about anyone else but i’d enjoy it

  2. do we realy want anouther godz film but i do agre with the fact that suits almost always loot better just look at underwould the first one loked realy cool and then they started useing more cg and it just didnt look as good but may be its just me i dont no

    1. That’s like saying “not another comedy” or “not another action film” or “not another scifi” or “not another fantasy” or “not another horror” …

      Why not?

      Not interested, then don’t go.

    1. They’re probably gonna make it a anamatronic/cg hybrid. That’s the only way I see a true US godzilla working these days, if done right.

  3. I enjoyed the US Godzilla quite a bit… As much as I love the shambling Japanese classic, the US version brought a level of realism to the creature exactly BY modeling it after iguanas, and explaining that its sort of a mutated iguana. But I agree that, looking back, it was a bit to light considering what was happeneing in the city, though no one really had an idea of what would actually happen if buildings were being torn down all over in that pre 9-11 world. Now, IF the new one takes place in New York, they would most likely darken it quite a bit. I like the new design though… could be tweaked to make a little more realistic (I see too much Japanese Godzilla), but I like it. Would like to see the body as well though…

    1. @” the US version brought a level of realism to the creature exactly BY modeling it after iguanas, and explaining that its sort of a mutated iguana.”

      That was Emmerich’s biggest mistake when making the film. He turned Godzilla into an animal, not a monster.

      1. Actually, that Godzilla is a mutated iguana is a worse explanation than what was provided in the Toho series. I mean, why would a mutated lizard made to grow develop the hindlegs of a theropod dinosaur? A dinosaur, as in the Toho series, can almost be justified.

        As for realism, that’s not really the point. That’s like saying Superman’s invulnerability to bullets and his ability to breath in space aren’t realistic. At the same time, they aren’t supposed to be. My motto is simple, if you want the real world, you live in it. That’s my case, and I’m sticking to it.

    1. While i STRONGLY agree with you here that the REAL godzilla kicked the crap out of that monkey ass USA godzilla. I am still on board for another Godzilla movie on the big screen, HOWEVER saying that i would like 2 things that im sure you would prob agree would make the movie good. 1) U.S.A. Money and 2) Japanise writers! Simple. lol. get the money to have the big effects and shit but keep the japan makers to make it a true Zilla movie.

      GODZILLA RULES ALL MONSTERS!

    1. Godzilla the animated series was the sequel to the film. It didn’t get a film sequel because the fans were already pissed, and the film itself tanked. The cartoon had more in common with Godzilla than the film anyway, but not much.

      1. I remember the cartoon, come to think of it. People were pissed at that movie? It tanked? I guess it was 10 years ago, when I didn’t pay attention to such things.

        I still like it to this day, so my opinion stands. Kinda surprised to discover that I’m in the minority, though. If this is the beginnings of a new Godzilla, I hope it’s up to par.

      2. No, man. The movie didn’t tank. In fact, it was successful enough for a sequel, and they even got so far as a story treatment. The sequel would’ve had Godzilla fight another monster in Sydney. . . Could’ve been fun.

  4. I also didnt mind the design of Emmerich’s Godzilla, and this one looks ok too. It kind of reminds me of those spiked “dogs” in The Chronicles of Riddick…you know, when they are in that prison in Crematoria…

  5. I loved the model of the Mathew Broderick Godzilla, this one is ok but you are spot on with the underbite and strong jaw this one while cool looking looks like some D&D monster/ World of Warcraft versus Godzilla, the only Godzilla i see is the trademark pronged spikes.

    I hope they don’t try to over think it and just make a rampaging beast with explosions, someone call Michael Bay he should be doing this.
