Legendary's Godzilla News



The first image of Legendary Pictures' Godzilla project has been released (above). I wouldn't put too much weight into this as it's a stylized rendering, not unlike what Toho Pictures released to promote their G-films. Most often, what is shown on a poster bears little resemblance to what is actually shown on the screen.

This weekend, Legendary Pictures is giving away t-shirts at the San Diego Comic Con to help promote their Godzilla project that's set for release in 2012.

These shirts are rather unique. According to an article by News Talk 980-CJME:

To promote the movie, [Legendary Pictures] are giving away "Godzilla" t-shirts at Comic Con, a huge trade show in San Diego.

Rob Bryanton is the President of Talking Dog Studios, and says Legendary Pictures wants to incorporate augmented reality technology with the shirts.

"They had gone on the Internet and looked at all the different companies in the world using augmented reality, and ended up selecting Talking Dog Studios. We're flattered and excited to be part of such a huge company, and you know, it really is like getting a pat on the head from the big boys."

When wearing the t-shirts in front of a webcam, people will see Godzilla's "atomic breath" shooting out of its mouth.


The part about Godzilla's atomic breath is interesting. It looks like the new movie will include it. As you may recall, TriStar's 1998 Godzilla did not have atomic breath.
