Godzilla: The Art of Destruction

Three days before Godzilla roars into theaters, Godzilla: The Art of Destruction (Insight Editions/$45.00) will hit Amazon and bookshelves everywhere on May 13. Whet your monstrous appetite for destruction with this sneak peek at new images and amazing concept art for the film, with narrative description from director Gareth Edwards. Click for more...

The Janjira Control Room

LEFT: Dr. Brody monitors the crisis at the Janjira facility. BELOW: The Janjira nuclear power plant control room was a daunting design challenge -- everything from switches and gauges to signage and paperwork had to be created and accurately reflect a period Japanese nuclear facility. This piece of concept art set the look of the facility.

The Q-Zone

OPPOSITE LEFT AND ABOVE: Concept art depicting the Q-Zone. “The great thing about haze and fog is that you can create beautiful, dark foreground silhouettes,” says Edwards. “It really gives a sense of scale and scope.” OPPOSITE BOTTOM RIGHT: Q-Zone set dressing showing a weathered radiation warning sign.

Destruction Concept Art

Concept art imagines the surreal effect of the giant monsters, such as this nuclear submarine dropped in the mountains. “I love this shot,” says Edwards. We struggled with trying to find a position for the submarine that didn’t feel too silly, but you could still read it from a distance. This is a shot that’s never in the film, they don’t actually approach it from the boat, but again, things get drawn just to give it flavor."
