New American Godzilla... In 3D?!

[ODBJBG]

Just heard about this. Looks like it has more potential than the first crack at this with Sony. There seems to be a bit more influence from Toho. That seems about right. Raymond Burr not included. (RIP!) However it's looking like it might be 3D. However I think this could fit the big G.

Godzilla comes to Hollywood... in 3d?

I wonder if Mattel might try to get the license for the toys? Trendmasters is no more, but Mattel could make Godzilla that shoots his fist.

I was gonna say Hollywood should stay far away from Godillza, especially after the previous disaster, but if Toho is involved it might actually work. As long as they don't rely on CGI too much, I want a Toho Godzilla

[ODBJBG]

Well Toho had pretty much said they wouldn't ever let Godzilla go back to Hollywood unless someone pitched them a much better idea and vision, so here's hoping.

I liked the Godzilla movie, never understood what everyone had against it.

Godzilla 1985 was the last Godzilla movie I enjoyed.

It was a decent monster movie, just wasn't a Godzilla movie

[Remco Monster]

Awesome.....

...maybe.

[Goblin19]

It sounds like it could be in the right hands. Here's to hoping.

>It was a decent monster movie, just wasn't a Godzilla movie

Yeah. It tried too hard to pretend there's a story, and the monster wasn't quite right. (Godzilla doesn't dodge.)

Dunno how I feel about a US Godzilla. I can see the same thing happen again; where it's a decent monster movie, but not being a Godzilla movie. I guess they feel you NEED the name, and that nobody would care about a whole new monster.

Godzilla must either attack or defend Tokyo.

The End.

If Hollywood makes it, fine. Include american actors, but don't take the lizard out of the land of the rising sun.

I loved the last Godzilla movie..watching him take out the american one in 3 seconds was great

[cjefferys]

Oh god, I really hope this won't get screwed up, but I have a nagging suspicion that it probably will.....

The last US "Godzilla" film was an abomination, they might as well have called it something else because that monster was no Godzilla, that's for sure.

[kingdom warrior]

Well if it's not The Classic Godzilla I'm not paying to see it.......but I'm really happy to see the Franchise get revived.

I'd like to see all those monsters come back to the big screen. I always wanted to see a sequel to War of The Gargantuas

Godzilla 98 wasn't superbad, if only they had called it something else.
I hate it when they take a name ("Godzilla"), then change everything, and expect fans to love it. Godzilla became a success due to some very specific concepts (his shape, movements, his personality). You can put your own twist on it (for like 20%), but you need to keep at least 80% of the original. GINO (Godzilla In Name Only) threw away everything but "giant lizard". His shape, style and personality were all changed.
That's like remaking Star Wars, but giving Darth Vader yellow armor, a wickedly cool sense of humor, and a tapdancing routine.

The more recent Toho films showed us you can update, use CG, get more action, and still remain true to the concept. If you want the respect of the fans, you need to respect the original idea.
