Any movie that features giant creatures is bound to have an incredible selection of concept art—and now you can get a bound version of that art and more for the latest film in Legendary’s MonsterVerse.
io9 is excited to give you a first look inside The Art of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, written by James Mottram. It’s filled with all manner of gorgeous concept art, creature designs, and behind-the-scenes stories from the recent hit, which grossed almost $US200 million in the U.S. and about $US570 million worldwide. Those kinds of numbers suggest it has a lot of fans and, in the following slideshow, you’ll get a glimpse of everything the book has to offer.
We’re talking Godzilla. We’re talking Kong. We’re talking Skar King and Shimo. We’ve got images of all four of them together in the film’s big finale, and, of course, Godzilla sleeping in the Colosseum. Plus, io9 can exclusively reveal your first look at the limited edition release of the art book which comes with exclusive artwork, a slipcase, and four art prints, and is signed by director Adam Wingard and production designer Tom Hammock.
Both the standard version of the book and the limited edition will be released on June 25. One is $US60, the other is $US130. Get the standard here, limited edition here, and click through to see inside the book and the limited edition.
