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

[tenup]

I'm not holding my breath for tihs film. Too little to go on to be convinced that LP is doing anything at all with Godzilla. It won't surprise me if they scrapp it or if they already have.

Yes cause LP is so gonna throw away money to get the rights to a franchise they're not gonna use and I'm totally not being sarcastic, like no lie.

With Batman going into hibernation (most likely) for a while now, Legendary may find themselves a little more eager to jump-start their next potential franchise. Could be good for Godzilla.

My thoughts exactly though I do worry about Legendary thinking that Man of Steel or Pacific Rim will be their next big franchises instead but I would think they would not considering Pacific Rim is an unproven film and will probably end up just being one movie and Man of Steel is hanging by a thread because should the film not do as good its been reported Warner Bros will not do any Superman movies for awhile so they could very well be waiting for TDKR to get done and then focus on Godzilla as their next big franchise.

In response to Livingcorpse, of course LP will eventually bust out something related to Godzilla. But that doesn't mean that by that time Edwards and company will still be involved. This is what I meant by being scrapped. I see it being similar to the 94' Tristar Godzilla being scrapped in favor for Emmerich's forsaken attempt. It might just turn out that Del Toro may eventually get on board for Godzilla depending on his success with Pacific Rim.

[Tyler]

Del Toro was asked multiple times to turn Pacific Rim into Godzilla and he refused.

[PopInPicsPresents]

Oh thank god. Edwards is a great director, and it would sad to see him replaced by a talentless hack.

He's only had one film. Can't really say he's good or bad.

Well Monsters wasn't that great. That's the only work of his I've seen. It wasn't bad at all, it just isn't as great as people seem to say.

Never really cared for Del Toro anyways and its because of that that i find it hard to get excited about Pacific Rim. Dont understand why that was on Legendary's list ahead of Godzilla or why Del Toro wouldnt want to just make it into a Godzilla movie as the plot sounds exactly something you would see in a G-film

I could do without giant robots in G films from now on.

I hope the estimated budget is announced.

As could I but the thing that annoys me the most is that this movie became a top priority over Godzilla and i dont understand why and I have a very hard time getting excited for it when anytime I see anything about this movie I think that it couldve been about Godzilla instead. If they wanted to combine this with Godzilla they should've done it before Del Toro got involved.

My next comment is not based on fact, just a guess to see what people have to say...

You think Legendary/WB is waiting to see how the Hobbit is going to do with the whole 48 FPS? If it takes off they might push it on the new Godzilla movie?

Which I am aware a lot of early reviews of the 48 FPS footage is leaning towards bad.

Its a decent assumption, from what I heard and read about the 48 FPS footage was that to most, it looked like a TV soap opera show. (Someone used General Hospital as a example) Saying that there was no cinematic appearance and that the adventurous settings/movie settings looked like a normal set that you would see in a, you guessed it, a TV show.

There's nothing wrong with change, but this is really going to tear the audience/people wanting to see down in half for that film.

I don't think LP will be going with the new 48 fps format for the Godzilla film, in fear of turning potential audiences off, its something that might be avoided.

[gatorzilla]

So aside from the brief Gareth Edwards and Max Borenstein interviews back in March we have nothing? How is nobody able to ask these guys or Legendary staff themselves what the deal is? I'd like to know what is the whole secrecy thing is about and also how the script is coming along if its finished and been approved? Will there be anything at Comic Con?

So many questions. Is this Toho causing the delay? If so why would they?

Anyone that goes to comic con this year really should just ask Legendary whats the progress on the movie? We are STARVING for something.


Didnt Thomas Tull say awhile back at last years either SD or NY comic con to "stay tuned for an update on a project called Godzilla" or something lke that?

[JVM]

Yes, but not intentionally.

Toho let Tristar have creative freedom in 1998, and look how that turned out. They're going to be anal up Legendary's ass to make sure they don't skreeonk up their shit.

[PRIMEVAL]

I sorta like this secrecy, honestly. Sorta how Cloverfield went and I really enjoy that movie (though many hate it). I just hope the tension is worth it...

Hopefully Borensteins script was approved by Toho. I dont want this to turn into a deal where we have to constantly wait because Toho is rejecting every single idea

[Living Corpse]

What JVM said. After 1998 it's only natural Toho is gonna be...concerned with what an American film company is gonna do with one of their most well known products.

[XxComablack1937xX]

A lot of people speculate that Toho might be the reason for the delay but what if it's Legendary that isn't pleased? Or Thomas Tull who is keeping a close eye on the project isn't? Even so, Let's say it is Toho who is causing the delay Legendary knew from the get-go Toho was not gonna-be hands''off this project like they were with Sony an Tri-Star's film, an i'm sure they weren't really to optimistic about giving the right's up either...

Several meeting's over a year or so ''from what i read'' it took before Legendary was given the right's and i'm sure a lot of $$$ was also another reason.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is 48 FPS? I mean I get that it's frames-per-second or something, but what does it look like/mean?
