![]() Toho approved of the plan, since all they had to do was loan out the image and name of their creation, let somebody else make the film, and sit back and reap the enormous box-office and merchandising rewards. Quote : In 1983, director Steve Miner proposed to make an American Godzilla film. Why would they later chose the iguana thing instead? Sure! Take a look at the storyboards for the movie, in my first post. He was still going to be a fire/radiation spewing creature. In the end he ends up on Alcatraz and is killed by having a nuclear missile shot down his throat, I'm sure that won't have done the city much good either. Scenes in the film were to include Godzilla destroying the Golden Gate bridge along with destruction of cable cars, buildings, people etc. Stout also storyboarded 90-95% of the project along with artist such as Doug Wilder, creator of Johnny Quest. William Stout (Conan the Barbarian,The Return of the Living Dead,Pan's Labyrinth) was hired to be the films production designer and he was also to produce a full colour teaser poster to tantalize potential investors. Stout resides in Pasadena, California, with his perfect wife and their two brilliant sons. He has had over 80 international museum exhibitions, including the British Museum, the Royal Ontario Museum, the Smithsonian, and the American Museum of Natural History, with permanent displays at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, Walt Disney's Animal Kingdom, and the Museum of the Rockies. ![]() Stout is the National Science Foundation's 1992/93 Antarctic Artists and Writers Program Grant recipient. A 1989 polar journey led to a one-man exhibition of 45 oil paintings that toured the world for seven years and reflected his efforts to make Antarctica the first World Park. He has worked as a designer on over 30 feature films. Themed entertainment design for Walt Disney, Universal, LucasFilm and DreamWorks earned Stout a reputation as the top conceptualist and designer in that field. Stout began his art career as an illustrator, earning several Gold and Silver Medals from the Society of Illustrators as well as a recent Ben Franklin Award. He won a full California State Scholarship to the Chouinard Art Institute (California Institute of the Arts) where he obtained his BA.
