The two giant sculptures, collectively weighing over a tonne, have appeared along London's Southbank, ahead of the release of new film, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
It might look like something from a movie, but your eyes don't deceive you – Godzilla and Kong are lurking in London. Godzilla’s bristling pink spikes, brimming with atomic power, were seen poking up from the River Thames next to Kong's giant hand, crushing an iconic London red phone box on Southbank.
A team of 40 people worked around the clock to create the two sculptures, spending a colossal 6,326 hours on the project over two months. It took 51 days just to paint the two giant beasts, which collectively weigh more than a tonne. The sculptures were fabricated from 3D references from the filmmakers, and built in a combination of poly, fibreglass, and steel framework, as well as interactive lighting.
“Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” filmmaker, Adam Wingard, said: “A lot of the magic of the Monsterverse comes from watching these Titans battling it out in real-world surroundings.
