Blast from the Past: Is this how Godzilla will look in the US Reboot?

Hello everybody this is Fernando for Godzilla Movie News.

For this latest edition of "Blast from the Past", I wanted to chronicle several images that took over the Internet a while back.

Anybody who's been following the US Godzilla reboot news knows about these pictures. Introduced early last year, they were originally thought of as early-concept statues of the newest Godzilla
design.

Such statues are commonly utilized by movie studios to help create literal reference points for CGI artists, so that the artist can have a 360 degree view of what they're designing.

Literally in a day or two every major movie/sci-fi website had these images posted, and the Internet was abuzz with how they thought Godzilla would look like.

Most favored the design, as the look nicely paid tribute to the design we all know and love, while still giving it a rather nasty/mean/intimidating stance.

But through some further research it was later revealed that these statues were not commissioned by any movie studio. Rather these sculptures were done by a Godzilla fan looking to redesign/modernize the King of Monsters and that's it.

I must say that though that I was a fan of these pics myself. The design does indeed look very intimidating, and that is what our Godzilla needs to convey throughout this reboot. I would certainly not have minded such a design being within the movie.
