Rejected Concept Art for the New GODZILLA

G-fan Magazine all the way back in Februaray published two versions of Godzilla that were rejected by Legendary Pictures.

Like I said these were posted almost a year ago in the magazine, but outside of a few Godzilla fan communities this didn't seem to get picked up by most sites. I think it is certainly worth a peek. As you can see the first version is much more like the original design of Godzilla, while the other one has more of a T-Rex like look to it. It Reminds me of the Roland Emmerich version.

Hey, Destroyer buddy, where are you? :P

Looking good enough to me...eh, after a second thought, just the first one. The second one looks too much similar to a dinosaur. Coming from a guy who has zero knowledge about Godzilla, though, so I can't say anything else.

So basically, they looked at the art and said "No, no, no. It has to suck. Now get those outta here!"

maybe cuz they look TOO MUCH like the classic Godzilla and lacking in the fresh twist to it.

I'm just curious as to what they chose to go with if these are the rejected ideas. I like both of them, especially the first one.

The Godzilla from the 90's was a great design. The movie itself sucked.

The Next Godzilla needs to have a Monster for him to fight. And that concept Statue needs to be the look.

@Gunsmith, those concept pieces need to be utilized for the next film. Those are BOSS as sh!t!

The second one is too much like a T-Rex, the first one would have been fine.

I'm late to the party Jolt, heh.

With some of the designs tossed around they look more like Godzilla's brother...Spikezilla. The first rejected design in this article was probably due to a snouty looking face and the second for being to jurassic.

With the high level of these concepts that are rejected that gives great hope that what they have chosen will be totally awesome.
GUNSMITH
GUNSMITH - 1/17/2012, 9:01 AM
AGREED PLASTICMAN.

Destroyer: Well, at least you're not so late. :P

Wow, GUNSMITH has some nice stuffs there, anyway. Again, I have zero knowledge regarding this monster...but if what he posted there is picked, I might go see the movie.
Destroyer14
Destroyer14 - 1/17/2012, 9:14 AM
You should see the movie regardless Jolt.
