What News Do You Hope To Be Announced This Year? (ver. 1)

[Rody]

*chuckle*
Yeah, I was thinking something like that too.

Anyway, if we get ANYTHING at all, I'll probably be happy.

[Shadow]

Patience my fellow members, LP will do what Tristar failed. But you can't rush perfection.

[gatorzilla]

Something to remember too-

Transformers was planned back in 2003

The Avengers was planned back in 2008

Godzilla was announced in 2010. It is going to get there. Obviously they're taking their time to make sure its a good movie but my best guess is they are going to turn this into a successful franchise so theyre wanting to get all the pieces in place. Legendary im sure is NOT wanting to test the waters with Pacific Rim because Godzilla was planned before that movie.

They wouldnt be spending all of this time and money all for nothing.

My best guess is it comes out 2014 for the 60th anniversary

[Tormentor]

Anyone betting that we won't hear anything until Comic Con 2012? Seems a bit much I know, but it is a possibility.

I just hope no poor G-fan goes to the LP panel sitting through long speeches of information about other projects, only to hear nothing at all about Godzilla.

I am agreeing with what you said.

Even though a movie is announced, it doesn't absolutely mean we'll get it within the exact timeframe that was first announced. Having the film come out closer to Godzilla's 60th anniversary makes more sense, ten years after Godzilla: Final Wars, and enough time for the memory of GINO to fade away (believe me, I know people who remember GINO all too clearly to this day and believe that it's 'superior' to the 'rubber suited' Godzilla, which is a load of hooey). \

[Godzilla 1995]

Legendary paid a big amount of cash for Godzilla, they aren't just gonna let him sit there. As frustrating as it is to just sit here and speculate, I think in the long run I will appreciate the time they're taking on this film. I'd rather wait a few years and get a great Godzilla film than get one that's a piece of crap. Patience, fellow fans of the Big G, Godzilla's gonna return to the silver screen at some point. It'll just be the when.

Learning from what happened to Godzilla when Tristar had the rights, waiting a longer period for a movie's release doesn't guarantee anything. And this is where the worry comes from. I mean what if Gareth Edwards is replaced by Rolland Emmerich? Surely that wouldn't be the best to happen in 2012

[bearijuana]

I just want something man. This movie has to come out, the fans need it - We are dying.

This movie could be very important for not only us fans but the rest of the audience and the movie industry. Right now there has not been a major movie picture with modern special effects that has depicted giant monsters batting. Sure you could call King kong and a few other recent movies that. But I'm talking bout a big huge skreeonk monster bash. It hasn't been done yet with modern special effects. Godzilla could capatalize on that in this movie. I'm talking an all out brawl!

Some think Pacific Tim will beat it to the punch but I've heard pacific rim Is being aimed for a G rating, meaning it will most likely target a different audience than the most likely darker rodzilla PG-13 audience. This now makes since to me why the same company would put out two monster fighting movies around the same time, because I know realize they are not competing against themselves, they're not targeting the same audience, and thus not the same market.

I trust Gareth Edwards, I really do. I hope this movie comes out soon. Whether sooner or later I believe Gareth, Legendary & co. Will deliver a real treat. Im looking for some teaser posters, trailers, etc. Towards the end of this year, maybe sooner depending upon their targeted release day. I'm just hoping sooner rather than later, but I trust they won't rush this either way, and that it will be delivered for a perfect date that is just right for the market, to generate hype, and to blow whatever other movies will be released around the same time out of the theatres.

Im going to go out on a limb and say Gareth is going to blow this out of the water, and make are minds skreeonk explode out of Sheer Godzilla epicniss! I expect to be mindfucked by how awesome it will be when a guy as talented as him on a shoestring budget gets $60-120million to direct the movie of his dreams. I really believe he is the fan he says he is.

Picture it, in another world what the movie industy would look like without Godzilla, and what us - as viewers would never have had the privilege to have had seen:

No Gamera.
No Cloverfield.
None of the other classic Toho Monsters, we have come to love.
No countless others 50s-70s campy sci-fi monster/mutation films, that dominated B-Movie cinema for oh so long, that we have come to guiltily adore.



Just think for a moment...



I wouldn't want to live in that world would you? That's why this movie needs to be made. Godzilla is important to the industry. Hell, maybe he'll start a whole new trend of Giant monster films to add on to the quickly and ever growing Sci-Fi audience. Sci-Fi is currently enjoying quite a bit of renewed interest in the industry right now.

So how about it Godzilla? Will you deliver? I don't know, it's too early to tell, but things are shaping up to look so, and Legendary & co. and Gareth keep me satisfied by saying all the right things. So in the meantime give me some damn announcements and information Legendary! Please!? So I will still be confident this movie is going to deliver and continue to deliver the way it is currently set to, and has so far.

No King Kong in this World.

King Kong (1933)

Godzilla (1954)

So, what are you saying, here? That we wouldn't have the King Kong remakes? They would likely have happened with or without Godzilla's existence bolstering interest in the genre. Kong is a classic in his own right, and Hollywood wouldn't have let him rest forever.

Sorry about that dude, I had a brainfart. Thanks for pointing it out, don't know why I put King Kong there.

I remember Tanaka saying King Kong influenced him now too, so I really messed up there. Just had classic Movie monsters on the mind bro.

Nice find!

But this scares me, they mention a lot of new films Gareth Edwards is directing, or is about to direct (ones that I previously never heard he was involved in), but there is no mention of his involvement in directing Godzilla! I'm worried! Is he off the project!? Is that the reason for the lull in news? Are they trying and looking for a new director?

It happens, no big deal.

I think they are talking another guy named Gareth Evans not Gareth Edwards

True, but they know why GINO was hated so even if they screw up, no matter what it will never be as big a f*** up as GINO was. It'd pretty much be the lesser of two evils.

I mean what if Gareth Edwards is replaced by Rolland Emmerich? Surely that wouldn't be the best to happen in 2012

D&E pretty much want nothing to do with the kaiju fanbase anymore after all the hate mail they got fro their little stunt back in 1998.

Oh... Thanks, that explains a lot, I didn't think I'd ever heard Edwards being a part of any of those movies.

[Godzilla1703]

The final look and the monsters he fights (If any, which i hope not)

[Living Corpse]

The final look and the monsters he fights (If any, which i hope not)

Edwards himself has said in past interviews that there will be at least one other monster.

So yeah.

No, only Brian Rogers said that, and it was years ago...
Like 2009 or 2010.
