Today we received our advanced preview copy of the upcoming official art book for Godzilla vs. Kong titled Godzilla vs. Kong: One Will Fall - The Art of the Ultimate Battle Royale and with permission we're debuting some of the book's many exciting contents! Below is our first of many previews, highlighting the creatures of Hollow Earth and much more.

Scaly Quadruped

This Scaly Quadruped (the official name given to this Hollow Earth creature) was designed by Matt Allsopp and Justice Joseph. The idea behind this particular creature was that it might have been an evolutionary ancestor to Godzilla, or a distant cousin. According to the art book, this Protozilla eats the giant Rock-Crab creatures which also inhabit the Hollow Earth! 

You can see in concept, this creature, like Godzilla, had glowing blue spines, but no mention of whether or not it could conjure up atomic breath as well:

We've got a few more previews to share with you, but since these images are very large we're not going to post them all in one article, as it would cause lag for those without the best internet connection. Check back soon for our next preview and while you wait, consider ordering yourself a copy!

Delve into the making of Godzilla vs. Kong, and experience cinema’s most colossal clash like never before. Featuring exclusive concept art and insights from the filmmakers, Godzilla vs. Kong: One Will Fall is the ultimate guide to an iconic movie showdown. 

From creature design to on-set photography, Godzilla vs. Kong: One Will Fall captures every stage of the filmmaking process, giving you unprecedented access to the creation of a titanic movie event. 

Looking to get this book for yourself? You can order it now on Amazon! Copies will arrive May 21st!

well this relavation contridicts my own godzilla evolution since in both Gojiverse and Rise of the Kaiju Godzilla evolved from the bipedal dinosaurian Gojirasaurus.

Godzilla's quadruped ancestor, created by United States citizen, this sounds like something to me, Rhedosaurus?

Hey, why is it called "Doug"?

Warner Bros. owns the rights to The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, so maybe that was intentional.

MemberAnguirusApr-29-2021 5:25 PM

Although I thought Rhedo's name was Herman. But anyways, yeah, I see the resemblance
