Found by kiryugoji04, a post on kaijucast.com about promotional Godzilla t-shirts distributed by Legendary Pictures at San Diego Comic-Con 2010, with pictures:

The t-shirt is enabled to trigger Augmented Reality (AR) features as shown here:

and detailed here:

A PDF of the image is available here from the Talking Dog AR site:

which can be printed and used here with a webcam to trigger the AR:

Talking Dog President Rob Bryanton posts some background information about this marketing project on his own blog in response to questions he is getting:

Key points:

- Legendary contacted Talking Dog to help promote the upcoming film for SDCC
- LP is "in the very first stages of production, so it's not like they could show us all clips from the movie or anything yet"
- The Godzilla design was by artist Jim Zubkavich of Udon Comics, working in consultation with Michael Jenson of LP
- The shirts were being distributed by LP at SDCC, not TD

Quick temporary note... this thread is not an open discussion thread, it's a stickied post for confirmed news about the new film only, created by request of users at MZ who didn't want to wade through the other threads for news.

Unfortunately, I left the topic open after posting the most recent SDCC updates, and that was my bad, sorry. I've deleted the posts and relocked this thread, but please feel free to continue discussion in any of the other threads dedicated to the upcoming LP Godzilla film. My apologies for the confusion.

Alright guys, it's been MONTHS since the last update to this thread, but well, the old mods are busy with other things like being old guys (you know, prunes, adult diapers, yelling at small children playing kick-the-can out in the streets) and running their own various sites and whatnot, and well, this was a DAUNTING task, looking back over the months and months of information and compiling a bit of a timeline/official news gathering.

Remember, this is OFFICIAL news, not rumors, not leaks, not tweets from rock guitarists...official news from trusted sources.

I decided, because I didn't want to wade through EVERY single thing that has been said about this film, to just start from the last update, so without further ado...

If there's anything you feel I've missed, feel free to PM me. Remember, this is OFFICIAL (or mostly official) stuff only. No leaks, no rumors, no fan designs, nothing like that. This thread is supposed to serve as a catch-up for people who don't want to sift through the hundreds of pages of discussion for news bits, NOT as a catch-all for every rumor and piece of speculation.
