3001 or so. Maybe then we can see the briefly mentioned fight between Godzilla and Bender.

I've always wanted to see a remake based in 1954 Japan, with all of the political and national concerns of the era addressed or at least reflected, such as the formation of the JSDF- the appearence of Godzilla would literally be their first test and after the loss and occupation of the last decade or so they would need to prove themselves as not just a pawn of the US for the Cold War. Think of the national pride at stake and the Americans still trying to interfere despite the end of MacArthur's occupation... it could be very cool...

But there's also a lot of people for it taking place in the modern day. Hell, either time period it's unlikely to take place completely in Japan, so why not just do both? Have the prologue take place in 1954 Japan, with everyone stunned by the emergence of the Big G, then he disappears and all the nations of the world tool up ever since, but with all these years in between many have forgotten or even don't believe he'll return... it could make for an interesting concept...

Godzilla Monster of Monsters = in the year 19xx aliens declare war on the earth...

Super Godzilla = in 199x King Ghidorah attacks Osaka...

Mgeaman X = in 199x I forgot the rest.... >_>

Really though, I don't care. How about the year it is filmed. That's good.

This is basically my ideal version of the movie.

Either 1954 or a modern setting would be Ok for me.

I think they should go with a Twenty Minutes Into The Future/Next Sunday AD idea. Basically the not-too-distant future in which most things are the same as the present, but whatever circumstances are necessary to the plot (for example, I recall someone mentioning having North Korea be the ones to conduct the bomb tests that awake Godzilla - this approach would allow North Korea to be set up as USSR-style nuclear rivals of the US, having risen to that position in the years between the film's release and the unspecified year in which it is set. Or it could just allow masers and shit).
