That's kinda boring. :?

Oh boy, Crazy Ralph's back! I thought Jason got 'im back in '81... technically '84... whatever.

I'd like to see some Toho cameos, and I think J. D. Lees deserves one as well... and if it's set in the USA, make the Mayor Emmerich and his lackey Dean ;)

I don't know how anyone else feels about this, but I'd like Will Smith, he's my favorite actor and he's done great in serious movies before, while also managing to retain an air of comedy to the character he brings. That and he's one of the few actors that play serious roles that I know by name.

I agree that Will Smith would be a great person for this movie, but I hope he would leave most of the comedy out.

Yeah, but I agree. But he's managed to pull fairly serious roles before, like The Persuit of Happyness and iRobot. Just how he delievers his comedy makes it seem really natural, not forced like a lot of comedy in certain series.

I think it would be cool if Steve Martin had a cameo.
Godzilla would be heading his way and he could say into his cellphone "This is it George!!"

If Jeff Goldbum can pull it off like he did in JP, and IPD then I can see him working for a lead role in a Godzilla movie.

I got an idea... why don't we put Matthew Broderick in it? He'd be great for a Godzilla movie, wouldn't he! :P

If Will Smith is in this movie, I will boycott it. I am not even kidding. Will Smith is a good actor, but he's still in my opinion, the most overrated modern actor. Not to mention the movie he's most well known for, I Am Legend pretty much was raped of it's meaning for monetary gain.

Not when he's covered in tumors and vomiting on donuts! :)

I like Goldblum but not for a Godzilla film. It's too much of an Emmerich thing with his role in ID4.

But people like Will Smith, John Cusack, and Jeff Goldbum will help bring money to the box office. That's another why G98 made a good amount of money because Jean Reno and Matthew Broderick being the lead actors in the movie.

And that was his fault how? The actor, even the lead actor, has little control over the movie unless they're allowed to adlib their lines, that's normally as lucky the actor gets. So don't blaim Will Smith for the movie being much diffrent than the original movie. Just like I don't think anyone blaims the actors in GINO for the movie being that far diffrent than the original, at least I don't, since they've not got much control at all over the movie.

I respect your opinion that he's overrated, but I just disagree with the example given.

The old film was called "The Last Man on Earth" starring Vincent Price. And the vampiric traits are oh so more obvious than in "I am Legend".

Anyway, Jeff Goldblum would be good for me. For some reason, I can see him as being the Only Sane Guy in this type of picture.

Wow, I did not know about that. And I'm a fan of Vincent Price. Anyways, I don't really want any big name actors in this film. Because then I'm afraid it might focus too much on the actor instead of Godzilla. As long as the cast does a good job, I could care less. If I HAD to pick an actor... I guess Robert Downey Jr... only because he's my favorite actor.

It's not his fault, but around here it's brought up as one of the greatest movies of recent times/all time, and Will Smith is popular - again, locally - pretty much solely for his appearance in that one movie. Pretty meh movie, and not one of Smith's best performances. I have beefs with Smith otherwise, including The Karate Kid, but my point is the actor is nobody to cite as one of "the greatest actors ever" - the little of Smith's work I do like is from his earlier years when he was comedy-focused. I don't like his serious acting - it usually comes out a mixed bag, with some bits feeling great and some feeling exaggerated.
