Legendary Pictures' 2014 Godzilla Reboot - Directed by Gareth Edwards - Part 7

[TheNextNolan22]

It's not that the Godzilla '14 footage was Matrix next level groundbreaking ****, it's how much personality and atmosphere and intelligence was on display. Just smart, smart filmmaking.

The audience went bananas and I was with them. Those little visual flairs, the ebb and flow of intensity really made this feel Spielbergian without aping his exact style. I'm wholeheartedly convinced that if the movie ends up being even somewhat good that Edwards has cemented himself as a top-of-the-list tentpole director for the next two decades. His visual storytelling ability is that strong in this footage. It's populist, but incredibly inventive and doesn't treat the audience like dumb kids.


Who knows what the finished product will look like, but from the whispers I've heard from those that would know the thing is coming together fantastically. I hope they're right because I'm going to be extra depressed if this one's a misfire. There's so much potential and every piece of marketing has been spot-on. The producers at Legendary seem to be almost as big of fans of the source material as Gareth Edwards and have given him a shot at something that he's desperate to do right by.

I just have to say this but what has me the most excited about this movie as a longtime Godzilla fan is validation of the character that he is not uncool when paired with a good story and good budget as well as top notch effects, that a lumbering beast who doesn't care what you throw at it is awe inspiring and very terrifying.

Gareth said if he were to do a sequel, he'd like to do a Destroy All Monsters type movie. Imagine the scale and spectacle of that. No matter what happens, I want to see King Ghidorah.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

I want to see the motherf***ing battleship atragon

The Godzilla equivalent to a b**** slap.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I think every G fan wants King Ghidorah in a sequel haha.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Baragon needs his time to shine

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I'd rather see Bagon for the first time than Baragon again!

 

[DarkSovereignty]

But his HORN. GLOWS. He has a glowing horn!

Everytime I hear Edwards talk about the film it makes me even that much more excited the man has a passion for the material

I watched Pee-Wee's Big Adventure again yesterday for the first time in like 20 years. Totally forgot that Godzilla and King Ghidorah made an appearance in it.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Yup. Definitely the movie event of the year for me.

Heh, I remember the actual scene. Tim Burton is a huge Toho monster movie fan.

I was watching Courage the Cowardly Dog last night and King Ghidorah popped up twice. t:

 

[DeadPresident]

I think after Godzilla Edwards is a little above a Need for Speed movie

Haha even before it

 

[redhawk23]

Empire has put out a list of box office predictions. They estimate north of 600m WW for Godzilla.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

If it's everything the trailers have been building up to and gets strong reviews, that's definitely manageable.
