what if the movie doesnt come out

[PopInPicsPresents]

I like how people just assume it's not going to happen even though LP bought the rights to Godzilla, and Edwards said he was working on it. Lots of films take awhile to get off the ground. Look at GINO, that took around 5 years to make. We can expect something at the end of this year at the earliest.

[Living Corpse]

^ GINO is a horrible example to use. 5 years fans waited for that film and they got shit.

[Gorosaurus Rex]

Me and most other people I know are pretty convinced that this is never going to happen and shouldn't happen, but I know we'll have to wait and see.

This really strikes me as being impatient. It probably won't happen for a while, but there are alot of movies that take a while to get off the ground. Hell, wasn't Avatar in production for like 6 years or something like that? The Deadpool movies been along time coming as well, but that's most likely going to happen as well. Give it time.

As for if it doesn't, it'll be a sad moment for the fandom, but hey we'll move on. We've had dead periods on the Forum before. 2004-2007 were pretty quiet between Final Wars and G:U. And then 2007-2009 had another quiet period. We'll get by.

And it still wasn't enough time to write a good screenplay.

[Gorosaurus Rex]

Because James Cameron wrote it. He's not a good writer. Fortunately, he's not working on this project.

[Hellspawn28]

I think it's because everyone is so used to getting film info every month like most movies do. Once they start to kick things off then we get more info. I still think that they plan to release the movie in 2014.

[gneditor]

Indeed, looks like it could be a long wait for the new one.

In the meantime, if you haven't seen (heard!) it already, thought y'all might be interested in this just-released podcast by Criterion, in which they talk about what it took to put together their new Godzilla DVD/Blu-Ray package of the original movie, good stuff:

I was thinking, could this movie be delayed due to other monster/s Brian Rogers mentioned in that interview a couple years back?

[Gojira21]

I would surely hope that this movie comes out...Im dying to see another film with the Big G in it, and i hope Legendary does it right. If it dosent come out then...im gona just have too...cry:/

[JVM]

I hope it never comes out. We have twenty-eight-and-a-half films to fawn over already.

Eh, while thats true it would be nice to see Godzilla brought to life for the generations. With the modern effects we have know, it would be nice to see Godzilla with CGI. Granted i dont want it done all in CGi, or nor do i want to see it all in suit either. A combination of both would be nice.

It's how Tokusatsu stays alive at this point.

Also I trust Legendary to make a decent Godzilla movie, a hell of a lot more than I trust Toho too. For all the "It's mistake" nay-sayers out there.

[ZillaMaster91]

Personally I feel that throughout the Millennium series, Toho has been using Godzilla as a cash cow.
Ever since Tomoyuki Tanaka passed and Shogo Tomiyama took the Executive Producer position, it has been like that.

While my expectations remain low at the moment, I still have hope that Legendary will pull off a good quality Godzilla film for both the fans and general audiences alike.

[Hellspawn28]

It will get made since they won't waste something that paid a lot of money for, I just hope they don't rush it. I think it will be better then GINO and the 00's era Godzilla movies (expect for GMK) seeing it should not be hard to skreeonk up worst. The only reboot that did worst was Punisher: War Zone and Legend of Chun Li (If you want to call it a reboot), but those two movies where doom from the start.

[gatorzilla]

I'm really not understanding a lot of peoples logic of thinking concerning this movie

There is really no reason to panic

Edwards stated that he is trying to get everything ready the studio is taking longer than planned on this movie why i have no idea

Look at some of the big movies that have gone through delays, The Hobbit and Deadpool to name a few

The script should be about done so hopefully we get something soon. I'm sure LP is more focused on promoting The Dark Knight Rises right now due to it being their big franchise

A studio is not going to waste all the time and money to get the rights and then not make the film.

Im hoping we get something at this years Comic Con and if LP has nothing planned then it is our job as fans to go to their booth and ask them whats up with the film and find out all we can.

So heres what us fans who can go to Comic Con need to do. If we dont hear anything by July then anyone that goes to Comic con needs to go to Legendary Pictures and just grill them with questions concerning the film that way it should put to rest any concerns for this film for now

[Crocodile]

Yeah, and the Hobbit is more or less a sure thing too.
I mean come one, might as well cash that check in advance, so it isn't like it's a question of will it sell. It's just part of the process to get delayed here and there, and we're impatient.

[SimeonAssassin]

I seriously doubt Legendary would spend the money on a legendary(get it!) character, and then let the project wither. Granted Toho was probably very reasonable dealing with Legendary regarding the price, probably more reasonable than if they had been negeotiating with a smaller company, we have every reason to believe they are on course for the production of Godzilla.

In the meantime however, they have quite a few other projects to take care of first, like DKR, Man of Steel, 7th Son, Jack the Giant Killer, Pacific Rim, The Hangover 3, and a sequel to 300. These are all serious projects that Legendary has to take care of before we can worry about progress reports for Godzilla. Legendary has it's plate full for the next few years, the big guy is on the way.

I say we might be in trouble if we have no serious progress news by mid-2013.

Rest assured, when the first trailer for Godzilla is released, it'll be epic beyond belief.

Yes, I'm positive just by annoying them enough we'll break them and they'll tell us everything we want to know.

Its not a matter of annoying them its simply just asking whats the delay and when can we start expecting news and info thats all

[Killswitch]

I wouldn't even bother with that. Lets keep it positive. Take a few minutes out of your day, and write a letter to LP, explaining how much you like or love Godzilla, and that you are looking forward to the new film. I would also include things you would like to see in this film, and things LP should stay away from.

Don't email your letter, get a stamp and mail it. There's a big difference between receiving 1000 letters than there is 1000 emails. Create a buzz, and let LP know that the fanbase is excited about this.
