Real Deal Godzilla Concept Art
January 17th, 2012
We've seen dozens of fake designs for Legendary's upcoming Godzilla flick, and all have proved to be fake. Recently, though, the folks at Toho Kingdom got their hands on two new images of what the creature could look like that are indeed the real McCoy.
The images popped up in the latest issue of G-fan. It should be noted these concepts were rejected, but at least they offer insight into which direction they're looking to go. Thankfully it's the right one!
Max Borenstein (The Seventh Son) has been tapped to write the planned remake of Godzilla. Gareth Edwards, the director of the indie sci-fi movie Monsters, is attached to direct the creature feature centered on the giant city-destroying and monster-fighting lizard, which is in development at Legendary Pictures.
Legendary's Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni are producing along with Dan Lin, Roy Lee, and Brian Rogers. Warner Bros. will distribute per its deal with Legendary.
David Goyer (The Dark Knight) previously worked on the script.

This is actually fan art that's been floating around since the summer. A repeat case of what happened with that maquette from a couple months ago. I honestly think someone at G-Fan or Toho Kingdom is just looking for 15 minutes by "breaking" some kind of (non)news.

Just trying to confirm ... any links to where else this may have appeared?

The actual origin of the drawings is something I'm not sure of, but I know that G-Fan published these back in July and they've been making the rounds online since then.
As far as them being legit LP art, that's something that has never had an official citation. I do some work for Sci-Fi Japan and no "official" source for these images has ever come through the pipeline as far as I know.

Looks promising. Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come.
