Godzilla is a cinematic icon who has undergone a variety of evolutions in his lifetime. The original films relied on suits and toys to create believable disaster scenarios, but in more recent installment the costumes have been replaced by CGI and in doing so allowed filmmakers to create truly monstrous digital terrors that tower above cities like deities with temper tantrums. Only a handful of people have seen what the upcoming 2014 Godzilla feature will hold, but this morning a new image from Brazil may offer the first official look at the beast.
Before we go on, let me say that Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures are rumored to be unhappy about the release of this image. We are posting it now because we know a good number of you are interested in the upcoming Godzilla feature, but may be forced to pull it if someone requests such action.
A popular Godzilla themed podcast known as Kaijucast has posted a photo online that they claim reveals the design of the legendary creature for the upcoming major motion picture. The image was supposedly submitted by a user the refer to as “Fernando,” and he claims he captured the shot while visiting a licensing expo in Sao Paulo, Brazil. You can view the photo below.
Godzilla will not open stateside until summer 2014, and as we mentioned above only a handful of people have seen any footage at this time. The actions of Warner Bros to cover up this image leads us to believe it is indeed an accurate depiction of the monster, so comment below and let us know if you think he lives up to your expectations.
