If I ran a movie company, half of the films would be science fiction and the other half would be monster movies. Roger Corman has kept the monster movie genre alive on Syfy with his low-budget films, but there really hasn't been much going on on the silver screen. Legendary Pictures has been talking about rebooting the Godzilla franchise with director Gareth Edwards (Monsters) and writer David Goyer (The Dark Knight), but a filming start date and potential release date haven't been announced as of yet.
Images of a potential new Godzilla design have hit Infamouskidd, pointing toward production getting underway. This new demonic version looks fantastic, and you'd think in this day and age that he would be created exclusively with CGI. According to Infamouskidd, that may not be the case. "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."
Yes, I like the idea of Edwards paying homage to the classics with a rubber suit, but I can't see it working for the entire film. Whenever I see an actor in costume in the Aliens films, it looks terrible. What do you think of this potential redesign?
