Is This The First Look at GODZILLA?

Legendary Pictures is rebooting GODZILLA with Gareth Edwards (Monsters) to direct and David Goyer (Batman Begins) is writing the screenplay. But will the powerful monster be CGI or a man in a rubber suit?

 

 

Last time Godzilla got the Hollywood treatment was in 1998 when Roland Emmerich (Independence Day) and SONY created a film that hardly resembled anything that fans were accustomed to. The star, Godzilla looked nothing like he usually does. Is as though they took the name Godzilla and slapped a Jurassic Park look to the film.

 

As for the reboot that Legendary Pictures is working on, infamouskidd's source is reporting that creature sculptor, Hector Arce's design of Godzilla is the blueprint. Even more exciting is that Legendary is rumored to be going with a rubber suited Godzilla instead of all CGI creation. How great is that?

 

Our source in the know on the new look of Godzilla sent us off in the direction of Hector A. Arce, a creature/fantasy sculptor, who we’ve been told is part of the design team for Legendary’s film, primarily because this version of Godzilla is based on a sculpt he did of Godzilla quite some time ago. Legendary’s roll-out of GODZILLA concept art at Comic-Con back in 2010 was based on his design, and, even with a few tweaks here and there, I’m hearing that the final approved version of Godzilla shouldn’t look that drastically different from this:

The bigger question though is – how will Godzilla be brought to the screen? Will it be another CGI creation? Will we be lucky to get an old-school rubber suit? I’m hearing that the plan, as it stands now, is for Godzilla to actually be in the flesh, with someone filling a rubber suit for Godzilla’s return. The head will be controlled by animatronics, and any touch-ups needed for the final film will then fall upon CGI.

YESS!!! good news and cgi should be used as touch up, cuz cgi is not good enough to stand on it's own.

I really like it but the fangs look almost too big for his mouth

Unfortunately this news seems to be a hoax, at least according to Tohokingdom. I like that this Godzilla design isn't anatomically correct, it resembles the true Japanese Godzilla that way. I really hate the anatomically correct dinosaur style Sony used.

 

I just hope that maybe Legendary Pictures/WB will decide to use a costume and practical effects. I really f#cking hate cgi.

I liked the 98 design but it was no Godzilla my main beef with the american version was Godzilla laying eggs(he's a male Dinosaur for f#ck's sake),the fact he never usesd his fire breath and he was potrayed as an animal like a big dumb dog akin to Clifford the big red dog. I think like the Phantom Menace the buildup and the hype was more entertaining than the film itself

You guys really think a guy in a big rubber suit playing Godzilla is gonna fly in today's world of huge blockbuster hits, filled with CGI?

considering how suits and animatronics look more realistic yes if you compare the original John Carpenter's the thing to say Avatar the creatures in the thing are more convincing than Avatar's CGI but there has to be a balance between the two most films nowadays are all CGI and most of them end up looking like crap

Hollywood may have a hard on for CGI, but that doesn't mean general audiences love it. Back in 2003 I remember Conan O'Brien making fun of how fake the CGI Hulk looked in that movie, the audience cheered in agreement. The new Thing prequel which is full of CGI will probably bomb hard. That movie in particular should have had practical effects.

 

When it comes to robots and Iron Man's armor CGI is decent, but organic beings just look horrible in CGI. To this day Jurassic Park is the only movie I can think of where organic creatures actually looked realistic in CGI, although that movie also used lots of animatronics as well. The dinos in Jurassic Park actually looked better than the ones in King Kong (2005) IMO.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Wheeljack35]

Yeah the Dinos in Jurassic park still look real even now

 

I do see movies where they do look fake

 

But could it be us? We know the characters aren't real so do we have it set in our minds that when we see thwm now we just know it isn't real and write them off?

I completely argree robots look better with CGI but organics do not with a few exceptions. do you have a link to conan talking about the hulk?

I wish I could find a link but that Conan bit I was talking about was just a small thing. Plus it was from 2003 so it is fairly old now.

I'm going to search it on youtube and see if I can find it
