Has Criterion already messed up their upcoming Godzilla Criterion release?


Chud.com has this image posted on their website, which is a pop-up flap located within the soon-to-be-released Godzilla Criterion Blu-Ray.

Notice anything strange about this Godzilla design?

It obviously isn't the Godzilla from the original "Gojira" film, but rather one of the more recent film designs.

The article states that some people are already making a stink out of this, comparing it to a classic Dracula film being rereleased with an image of Gary Oldman's "Dracula".

I can kind of see this argument here.

It is strange that a later Godzilla model is used in this manner. I mean there weren't any more classic Gojira pictures lying around somewhere?

What makes it even stranger is that Criterion is well known for getting things right...and somehow this had slipped their grasp?

Makes for an interesting discussion along the way.

In any case here's the original article for further info:
