What does Roland Emmerich have to do with what Legendary Pictures does?
I was about to say. But I will admit I used to think 1998 was our one and only chance and D&E screwed us over.

If this project happens to tank, another Godzilla project will surface down the road. Action/Sci-Fi/Fantasy films will always be in demand, and CG driven movies are the craze now, and I don't see that changing.
I just have to laugh when I hear people say that Godzilla isn't popular enough to justify a big budget Hollywood film. Obviously LP thought enough of him!
There are no limits in Hollywood, that's why you see films like the Smurfs, Muppets, Bewitched, Land of the Lost, Ghost Rider, Speedracer, etc., being made. It's not like there was a huge outcry for any of those films to be made. Its entertainment, and sometimes you hit a homerun on a Tier 3 type character like Ghost Rider or strike out on an old Japanese cartoon character like Speedracer.
