Legendary Pictures' 2014 Godzilla Reboot - Directed by Gareth Edwards

[Sgt.Pepper]

Now that we have a release date, can they please put the Comic-Con footage online?! Anyway, I have high hopes with Edwards on-board, so I'm absolutely psyched for Godzilla to grace the silver screen again.

Glad the king of the monsters is finally getting back on the big screen, i hope they don't try to go the whole realistic updated route with his origin excluding radiation/the atom bomb etc...

 

[Shifty]

TMNT as a franchise has also been pretty hit and miss as of late. The 2007 CG movie didn't do that well.

The last time Hollywood attempted Godzilla it was one of the biggest gigantic budget embarrassments of all time.

It still made money but the hate/dislike for the film killed any chances of a sequel.

Its like going from The Avengers to Iron Man 2.

Oh wow just realized Gareth Edwards is a different person than Gareth Evans.

 

[TX85]

Finally an update with the release date,I really like the logo&teaser poster too

Wouldnt the atomic bomb be the realistic route

 

[Super Kal]

yes it would... in fact, its the main reason as to why Godzilla is made in the original film

 

[Roose Bolton]

If the Oppenheimer quote is anything to go by then it seems that the bomb is still in.

How exciting!

 

[Iron Lizard]

Iron Man 3 script writer Drew Pearce brought in to do a final polish in the script. The script is fine he is just doing a polishing of the characters to match the actors they have in mind for the movie. Casting is to begin in 4 weeks.

This is NOT a total rewrite of the script.

"I've always been interested in Godzilla and the ideas around him. I really wanted to see another Godzilla film and jumped at the opportunity. My main idea was to imagine 'If this really happened, what would it be like?' I want to take a grounded, realistic approach to a Godzilla film."

You know what he means by 'what it would really be like' but the word 'realistic' is so overused these days. Maybe this should be found footage.

CHeck out David GOyer's words just 5 days ago on MoS grounded approach :
http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=95365

David Goyer: Are we talking about Man of Steel? What Christopher Nolan and I have done with Superman is trying to bring the same naturalistic approach that we used adopted for the Batman trilogy. We always had a naturalistic approach, we want out stories to be rooted in reality, like they could happen in the same world we live in. It's not that easy with Superman, and actually this doesn't necessarily mean we will make a dark movie. But working on this reboot we are thinking about what would happen if a story like this one actually happened. How would people react to this? What impact would have the presence of Superman in the real world? What I really like to do is writing "genre" stories without a cartoonish element. I did the same with Da Vinci's Demons, and I'll do the same with Man of Steel.

In a grounded take hopefully they give godzilla a back story. Perhaps it actually descended from iguanas that became mutated due to the nuclear fallout of french bombs being tested in the pacific.

Also he shouldn't be invincible a few missile strikes here and there should be able to take him/her out.

 

[DarkKnight88]

The original 1954 film was shot like a documentary so I can't see how people can get up in arms over them going into a "realistic" direction which is what it originally was.

They already DID both of these things in the 1998 remake. And look how THAT turned out. God that movie was such a piece of ****.

 

[DrDoom]

Pretty sure Bruce Malone was being sarcastic seeing as how that is the EXACT plot of the GINO film

 

[Destructus86]

I am soooooooooooooo freaking sick of this "grounded in reality" CRAP.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I disagree with the anger toward his words. Despite how stereotypical it is to say, the original Japanese Godzilla movie was grounded in reality and was a symbol for nuclear war.

 

[Mr.?]

I guess that means he won't fight another monster in this....

 

[terry78]

If he does, it will turn out that the monster killed his mother or he grew up with him in the League of Shadows or something.

hah i liked it when it came out. Holds a special place in my childhood. It doesn't hold up well today, but I still like when the Chrysler building gets blown up. Something about that 90s disaster flick cheese gets me all warm and fuzzy

 

[terry78]

Grounded in reality, grounded in reality. Now the most recent interview with Hemsworth has him saying Taylor "is really grounding it in reality." Jesus.

Yeah I still love the 98 Godzilla, to hell it being faithful. I grew up with it and remember watching it over and over on vhs.
