Interesting. Maybe some parts of it are true?
I'm still not buying the whole "iceberg" idea, as well as the female and male Mutos either.
Also, it states that "Bryan Cranston's character works at the nuclear facility in Hokkaido that melts down. The meltdown is blamed on a flaw from his design", which is pretty different compared to what the trailer is saying.
Very studious of you! I haven't read the leaked script, but if what you're saying is true then I'd say this is definitely confirmed.
I also appreciate you not spoiling anything. You certainly had a number of opportunities but you decided to stay classy.
At this point, anything could be possible! :P
I see nothing wrong with his face. I think he looks pretty sweet. :)
As EoGodzilla said, it's a fake image. The parts that makes up the "muto" isn't even for a Godzilla figure.
it is highly unlikly they would have mecha's in this as pacific rim already did that, but i'm not going to speculate what the surprise is becuase i want to be surprised, as long as it is either unexpected or scary or awesome then i'm fine. i'm probably going to have to go off this ite till the movie comes out to avoid the toy pics and speculation as well
well, sure. As long as it's not mechanical, I won't complain!
i said a HOMAGE 'not' the actual toho monsters monsters
@GodzillaFan1995
There are some really cool Toho monsters and, of course, some really terrible ones too!
However, the director has been adamant that Godzilla is the only Toho monster so I really don't think there will be any others -- are any that are too similar for obvious intellectual property considerations.
So if it's another kaiju, it's probably an original. I have a warm spot for Ghidorah, so I would love to be wrong, lol.
did you guess ever think it could be either a monster with g dna or a really big monster that is a hoamge of an iconic toho monster (from the showa if you think the heisei monsters are iconic). and i find the latter the most sensible
Just got home from work and I'd like to respond to a detailed critique (thank you!)
@TW_G-FAN2014 With all due respect, I think you are missing the forest for the trees. Yes, we can evaluate each quote separately rather than as a group and determine that they don't say much. THIS IS TO BE EXPECTED because each writer was sworn to secrecy so they are trying to not give away anything.
But they do each give away a slightly different part of the "forest", allowing us to step back and see something larger in their comments (which I never called facts, btw).
For starters, they all agree that there is something big that has not been divulged yet... one calls it a "400% more awesome plot twist". Another calls it "something huge" added to the skydiving scene. Another calls that scene "every bit as dramatic" and "not what you expect".
Ok, if someone wants to look at that and conclude "Godzilla fights a giant bug", then by all means do so.
I don't see it that way at all. I think the writers are hinting at something bigger, more dramatic, and in the HALO jump scene in SF.
What is it? I don't know, but I seriously doubt that it's a MUTO. There were several already hinted at BEFORE the 20-minute preview was given and, like I said, Godzilla already has a long established history of fighting monsters.
Why do I think it might be a "Godzilla-like" kaiju? I don't know. I'm grasping at straws and hoping someone else has a better idea. I did show a screenshot going around showing what appears to be Gojira spines that don't match Godzilla as an example, but I am open to other possibilities.
But that it's just a MUTO/bug? That's not worth the secrecy.
Hopefully they will actually make a Muto toy like this.
new theory.. you don't suppose there might be a cloverfield crossover going on here with this monster?? it seems to appear like a Neville Page (cloverfield monster designer) .. design. ahhh... who knows.
FYI that image is not official. It's from december when the 3rd party godzilla toy proto-type leaked. It was printed on a piece of paper in the background and a fan put the pieces together. They were not official, licensed Godzilla products.
Be careful of that site as Junkerde said. The prices on the products there are absurdly high
a oint i would also like to make, considereing that gareth edwards has never seen the heisei and millenium movies, i doubt that he will have the atomic breath in red or orange as that is too far distanced form godzilla classic atomic breath (neon blue and white), and considering the classic breath colour is unrealistic is NOT true, go type up chekov radiation and you may think that the blue colour is more realitic for a radiation type attack.
i don't even think they cared about the realism of the muto monsters, i'm sure they mostly focused on their design and their point in the script to give a scary appearence on screen
So we finally find out. I must say I am disappointed that Godzilla is merely 350 feet when there was so much talk from the filmmakers about being the tallest ever. By 20 feet? Why bother to even mention size. Biggest kaiju bigger than Godzilla? Sad. Apparently the nuclear "tests" at French Polynesian islands were not tests at all but attempts to kill Godzilla. Godzilla, king of the monsters? It may well still be a great movie, but the false advertising of Godzilla towering over San Francisco as well as the size claims mean I've already got a problem with the director. If his mouth is any indication, the film won't live up to the reputation Gojira deserves.
I suggest a warning on everyone who orders from MonsterIslandToys. Long story short, bad service, unprofessional owner, and I have transcripts from him threatening a customer to die. I'm going to advise you to be careful of this, I personally used this website, took 1 month to get 1 DVD, owner was VERY unprofessional and not helpful, not like they promised. Again, steer clear of MONSTERISlANDTOYS.
Feel free to PM ME if you want those transcripts.
that third monster is the centipede type kaiju and my theory on the spider creature could possibly resemble that of the camel spider.
should've expected sony to make a re-release of their movie, despite the fact they already have done a blu-ray version that isn't even out of print, they even released a 4k remastered version
@dragonlord tevin
did you see all the others they had including the official godzilla deluxe atomic roar figure?
Yay another figure added for purchase
It's difficult to say at this point. To me, they look like imbricate (overlapping) scutes (scale-like plates), not gills: He has the same or very similar scutes on the ventral (underside) part of his neck, and those are obviously not gills. Moreover, he appears to have imbricate scales on his arms with the same crenated edges.
I would be surprised if they went through all this effort to give him plausible reptile/dinosaur anatomy only to put amphibian gills on him. Then again, considering that he would need connective tissue vastly stronger than that possessed by any other organism to support his his 60,000 tons of mass combined with the fact that he is radiotrophic (feeds on ionizing radiation) AND he can project plasma from his throat, a reptile with secondarily-evolved external gills is a relatively much smaller stretch biologically speaking. Lastly, some fish have both lungs and gills, as do many amphibians, so Godzilla would still have lungs as well as gills assuming he has them at all in the movie. Right now, they just look like overlapping scales like those of his throat and arms.
thanks gojira2k you are a life saver :)
as if he didnt already have enough weaponary we now install a light saber to him, but yeah it is pretty cool:)
From all of the action figures and other posters we've seen, he's going to have four.
well lets see slattern was 180 meters from head to tail godzilla is 107 meters standing tall and probably 214 meters head to tail... i'd say godzilla without a doubt :) the jaegers where only 250 feet to 280 feet in height but were still cool.
Just my silly opinion......I would like to think that something "BIG" is coming, but most of those screeners were not hardcore G-fans like us. I just think that they saw a Muto and creamed there pants. Most of those people came in with the mind set that Godzilla was going to just rampage a city alone.....lol. These guys (screeners) dont hit up these forums like hardcore G fans like us......they got dozens of movies/ shows to review that most dont even deal with Kaiju. I just think they went in open minded and were blown away by the CGI. I may be wrong about that theory but until something concrete comes out and I aint talking about this brilliant PR game of secrecy that Gareth Edwards is playing.......I am staying grounded......Go Godzilla.
lets also remember that the dinosaurs in jurassic park had similiar noses to this but i really dont see anything wrong with this i like the overall design it really says godzilla :)
yeah i was getting ready to say he has four fingers like all classic incarnations before this one :)
Speaking Of Namikawa, I'm currently working on her as of now. O.O
why does this thread even matter or exist? merge to general discussios.
He looks cool too me.
I think they doing that so when it comes out on DVD people would have to go out and buy suppose to it being on netflix where you can just watch the whole series at your home
@everyone
just wait until more information is leaked that is 100% proof of this or better yet wait until the movie :)
