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

[bearijuana]

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 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

[Living Corpse]

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.

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]

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.

Well, its not much. But it is technically an interview.

Anything you can share about your next project? Here is your chance to go crazy!

"My next project is a reboot of Godzilla for Legendary Pictures and the folks behind the recent Batman trilogy. Our director is the young and enviably talented Gareth Edwards, whose vision for a fresh but faithful update of this beloved classic will – I feel safe in saying – kick major ass. Wish I could go crazy and tell you more, but I am pretty sure I would then be contractually obligated to be shot."

Damn right being shot for saying too much is in the contract.

While not much its nice to finally hear from the writer Max. Love hearing him talk about Edwards vision for Godzilla makes me really excited for this! Im still not sure what the secrecy is but maybe what they have planned for this new franchise is huge?

Hopefully this will shut up the doom and gloom naysayers for a little bit

[Living Corpse]

We can only hope.

[Blackout286]

Interesting, and its a recent interview as well. Not a bad find there Tormentor, not bad at all.
This is our only interview from the writer, and probably will be the only one for a long time. Need more info!

Mattia WANTS! MORE! INFO!

[GodzillaIsCool]

Damn NDA's.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

At least Borenstein is implying that all the silence regarding the project is intentional, secrecy rather than total inactivity as many fear.

I wonder why though they want to keep it so tightly under wraps?

[Gyaos]

^ I guess they're going down the Cloverfield route to build up hype. Hopefully they wont disappoint.
