UPDATE: Guillermo del Toro says he has not read or been offered this project.
You might remember back in May that Legendary Pictures bought Pacific Rim, a spec treatment by Clash of the Titans writer Travis Beacham. Or you might not; we won’t be offended if the small story slipped by you. But what if we told you that Pacific Rim might be refitted to power the upcoming Godzilla film, also by Legendary, and that the film has been offered to Guillermo del Toro? Read More »

Earlier this year, Legendary Pictures announced that the company is in development on a new Godzilla film. The best part of that news release was that Legendary seems determined to not repeat the mistakes of the forgettable 1998 film directed by Roland Emmerich.
The new film is still without a director, and we don’t know very much about what Legendary really plans to do. But a chap with a camera recently caught up with producer Brian Rogers, who talked a bit about what the plans are for Godzilla’s next American incarnation. Among the details: the classic monster will square off against at least one other creature, and perhaps more. Read More »

Today’s t-shirt of the day on Teefury is Taz’s Godzilla vs. Gamera red t-shirt design. The designer explains that he had previously created an Ultraman vs Godzilla illustration and “was still on a Godzilla kick and I also really wanted to do a drawing of Gamera so as Emeril Lagasse likes to say BAM…Godzilla vs Gamera.” Raz continues:
“Two giants locked in an epic battle, our cities forming the arena for their massive fight. It should be horrifying, but somehow you can’t help but be impressed by their sheer strength and power. Monsters rule!”
Initially intended as a skateboard deck design, the art was readjusted a bit to better fit the tshirt format. Available for the next 24 hours only, for only $9 plus shipping. See the full design after the jump.

Leave the King of the Monsters alone. He’s content at the bottom of the sea resting atop shipwrecked boxes of Asahi. Sure, Baby Godzilla wants him to pay for college, but so what? The kid is a disgrace better ignored and very likely egg-bodied for life. But today, according to Bloody Disgusting, Hollywood has dialed the King’s oceanic partyline in hopes of making another Americanized Godzilla movie.

21-year old UK artist Olly Moss is probably best known for his popular t-shirt designs which have virally spread across the interwebs. He’s probably best known for the Spoilers t-shirt and a series of retro movie poster remakes (that we previously featured in Cool Stuff). His latest t-shirt design, “Shoot The Baddies” has a bunch of shooting-range targets featuring the lines of Godzilla, Agent Smith from The Matrix, a Goomba from Super Mario Brothers, Freddy Kruger from The Nightmare on Elm Street series, a Space Invader, Darth Vader from Star Wars, old school Megatron from Transformers, a zombie and a Terminator.
