One of the most disappointing movies I've ever laid eyes on is the Roland Emmerich stinker of a godzilla film back in 1998. Thats all that really needs to be said, but as a lifelong Godzilla and Kaiju movie fan, what a horrible film that brought no justice to Godzilla.
It's time a for a reboot. Reboot's are the in thing and Godzilla is one of the most deserving pop culture characters in need on one. This is my idea, and I admit I borrowed it from Peter Jackson's King Kong...
My Godzilla reboot would be a period piece set in 1954 L.A., California. Just like the original Japanese Godzilla flick was set in 1954 Tokyo. I think it's obvious what I'm getting at, instead of attacking Japanese cities and ships in the fifties, Godzilla would attack the United States, it's cities and it's ships. I'd really try and recapture the horrifying nature of a creature such as Godzilla existing in the aftermath of the Atomic bomb being dropped, and yes, I would use those same undertones that the Japanese used with there first Godzilla film. I always thought that the first Godzilla film was more of a horror film than anything, and thats what a reboot should be.
I'd swap out the Raymond Burr character Steve Martin with a Japanese reporter who was visiting the United States at the time of Godzilla's attack, and through that character I would invoke the comparison's of Godzilla's destructive path to the Atomic Bomb attacks on Japan. And I would use the score from the original Godzilla film.
If the film was a success, an easy idea for a sequel would be to have Godzilla return in present day, but a present day world that has lived with what Godzilla had done in 1954, and then you could introduce some of the other Japanese monsters.
