Well, since the Pacific Rim thread is starting to go in this direction, I figured I'd give the topic its own thread. Let's start with what news we have.
- directed by Gareth Edwards - script is almost complete now - they began filming in Hawaii a few weeks ago - Godzilla will be fighting another monster - the monster seen in the trailer was apparently a giant centipede - Edwards wants the movie to have a "realistic feel", to try and capture what life would be like if a monster attack really did happen - according to those who saw the Comic Con trailer, it had a "post-911" feel to it. - those people also said that Godzilla looks like the original Godzilla (from the 1954 movie) - Godzilla will be CGI, not a rubber suit
I'm a bit conflicted about Goji being CGI. I'll definitely miss the suit, but if it means better effects, I guess I can live with it.

I'm surprised you didn't just include the blurry comicon picture, lol Keep in mind however, this is only test-preview footage to excite everyone (well done, btw). There's no promise that it will actually be a part of the film as a whole. Also, filming hasn't started yet. It's slated to start in March in Hawaii and Vancouver. Still time for anyone who wants to relocate their homes, lol -That said, two producers have left the project in recent weeks and are taking Legendary pictures to court -Two brand new monsters are slated to appear in this film (and they will probably be named after said departed producers) -Frank Darabont (of Walking Dead and Shawshank Redemption fame) has been brought in for another round of script rewrites -Aaron Johnson (Kick-Ass and Savages) is the latest buzz for lead actor, though by no means, the only contender for the role There is quite a bit about this production that both excites and worries me, and I'm not going to make any heavy assumptions about this film until I see it for myself. Remember kids, before it came out, people were excited about Godzilla '98 too. I'm not saying it will be bad, but there are millions of movie goers out there, and each one has their own expectations. One of Big G's fathers, Producer Tomoyuki Tanaka once said something along the lines of "Ask a hundred different people what Godzilla represents, and they'll give you a hundred different answers."

Well, it would be wonderful to see the Big G get a decent high budget film. These days I am always skeptical about a new treatment of an iconic property until I see the results... too many Hollywood/game studio burns.
/fingers crossed

@chuckles, I had already typed out the whole post on my iPad, which can't upload pics. I was just to lazy too redo it on a computer. Thanks for uplaoding it for me And I feel your pain Maethius. I just haven't had much faith in American cinematography since The Last Airbender *shudders*. But, knowing that this will be made by the people who made The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises makes me feel a bit better. Just a bit.

Usually when the director has only one directing credit to his name, red flags go up in my head, but hey, "Monsters" was a pretty good film, so here's to optimism. Worse come to worse, JURASSIC PARK IV comes out a month later ^_^ Here, have another teaser image.

TohoKingdom . . . that takes me back. Hey, if that uptight stick Mouthforwar is still around, tell him that: 1) I was right about Bane being the villain of the 3rd Nolan Batman film and 2) Michael Keaton Batman is WAY better than Christian Bale Batman (he'll have no idea what you're talking about )

It's pretty good now.

Interesting... well, if the Godzilla film returns Big Green to a terrifying enemy of Japan it would essentially be a simple reboot of the franchise... unless he is going to be depicted as having lost his affinity for mankind somehow. I'm interested in seeing the 2014 take on Godzilla, but I'm as leery as ever.
