Godzilla's evil doppelgängers
I always wondered if they all were to meet each other
Ten years after the old foe was defeated... Ten years has consumed our hero by age but still wields the Eureka Effect and has since mastered its power. Yet, the old enemy has returned with revenge, it came with a pack of its own to burn him down. As the imminent destruction is coming in, the lives of his village and his comrades are at sake but he prepares to sacfice his very being to sacrifice his very life to save them all.
That’s a Lot of Oscar of Astora/Elite Knight Statues...
(i made this for twitter but decided to post them here too of course...)
Decided to take some screenshots of ZIlla in my modded Ark game.
Godzilla (1998): The Movie Nobody Wanted
Sony Executive: We need to adapt Godzilla for American audiences. Someone call TriStar.
TriStar Executive: We'll pass. We won't be able to make a good film.
TriStar Chairman (overhears): Wait. Godzilla, the fire-breathing monster? Yesss! That'll make money! Let's do it!
[Clive Barker approaches TriStar with a pitch.]
TriStar: Too dark.
[TriStar politely declines.]
[TriStar approaches Roland Emmerich.]
TriStar: Roland, we want you to direct Godzilla.
Roland Emmerich: I want to make a meteor disaster movie.
TriStar: We have a script by Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott for Godzilla.
Roland Emmerich: Why would you think I'd be interested? I'm not a Godzilla fan.
Dean Devlin: We'll pass then. We couldn't make it properly anyway.
[TriStar approaches Jan de Bont, David Fincher, Tim Burton, Sam Raimi...Roland Emmerich again.]
Roland Emmerich (who only saw Godzilla vs Megalon and laughed at it with friends): Godzilla? That fat guy in a rubber suit fighting monsters? That’s too campy—
[Toho gives him a comically large check.]
Roland Emmerich: Fine!
Roland Emmerich, (obviously trying to get off the project): Okay, let's go about this really radically. I'm not doing big-belly Godzilla. I'm doing him as a lizard.
Toho Executive: Oh, we'll call this the new Godzilla, the Hollywood Godzilla. Then, we can still do our fat Godzilla.
[Roland's internal monologue: Shit!]
[Toho gives him a list of rules.]
[Roland forwards the list of rules to Dean Devlin, which ends up in his trash by accident.]
[Roland reads the script.]
Roland Emmerich: Very cool. But I didn't write it and I kinda just want to make a big-budget creature feature disaster movie. So…
[The script ends up in the trash, not by accident.]
[Roland stays up all night drawing suspiciously sexy, muscular, slightly erotic and sensual lizard Godzilla fan-art.]
[Roland and Dean present the sleek lizard design.]
[Toho executives are silent for seven minutes.]
Roland Emmerich: We either do it this way or not at all.
[Toho executives silently leave the room.]
[Roland's internal monologue: I am totally getting fired right now.]
[Toho executives huddle in the hallway.]
Toho Executive #1: It stinks.
Toho Executive #2: I don’t care if it stinks! I don't care how awful the design is! We gave him the money already!
[Toho executives slowly walk back into the room.]
[Toho executives silently nod.]
[The sinking realization that nobody wants to do this.]
TriStar: Ferris Bueller and half the Simpsons side cast are on the studio lot...they'll do!
The movie comes out: [A CGI mutant iguana comes in wearing a Godzilla rubber suit.]
[Theaters lose money, critics hate it, Godzilla fans begin booing.]
[Dean Devlin’s excitement turns into immediate shock and horror.]
Dean Devlin: Why don't they like it?! We spent 150 million dollars on this!
Roland Emmerich: And now two meteor disaster movies have already come out...
Toho Executive (shaking fist at the sky): Curse you, TriStar! I'll never forgive the Americans!
The 1998 Zilla movie was nuts..
I recently re-watched one of my most favorite monster movies from my childhood, which is Godzilla from 1998. It's a shame I was too young to watch it in cinema. It's an awesome movie. I am 34 years old now and still love this movie to bits.
As a nature photographer (and sometimes filmer XD) I can totally relate to the guy in this clip.
THIS would be me too:
