MAN IN SUIT IN 3D! MAN IN SUIT IN 3D! MAN IN SUIT IN 3D!
Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
I am going to go out of my way to get my son hooked on Godzilla movies before this opens so that we can go together. I’m sure my wife won’t want any part of it, but that’s fine. It would be awesome to just go and geek out over 3D kaiju.
When you follow the link below, check out the website for Kerner Research. I'm rooting for these guys. It looks like a great company, and I hope to see really innovative, amazing things from them in the future. In short, this story makes me as happy as happy can be:
Heya Harry and gang,
The long rumored Godzilla-IMAX movie is moving forward.
Looks like a bunch of ex-ILM employees(many of whom are self professed Ultraman and Godzilla geeks) are providing all the major special effects for the film while another Japanese company will be providing the funding for the film.
Director Banno has secured Toho Company's blessing on using Godzilla so there's no worry about that.
When the project was first announced a few years ago, it was targeted as a movie being made specifically for IMAX theaters. Don't know if that will be the case now or not.
What's interesting is that it seems like they'll be using some type of super "James Cameron?" cool 3-D camera/effects work for this.
Will this be a preview of sorts of what's to come with Jim's "Avatar" technology?
Anyways, I'd scream man in suit, man in suit but I'm sure you'll have that covered.....

SHUT THE FUCK UP! lol
-
In 3D this time! Awesome!
-
The picture isn't QUITE clear enough to show his zipper. And Harry LOVES the zipper...
-
You'd do something that inconsiderate, huh?
-
holy shit
-
= FLAMES ON OPTIMUS. I'll pass.
-
The travesty that came about in 1997. I remember I was PUMPED for that movie. The teasers were all awesome, then it came about and all I got was a large, lamely designed iguana mutation that didn't shoot nuclear energy from his mouth to incinerate New York.
Hopefully this time we'll see a competant version of Godzilla onscreen with the respect he deserves. -
Sweet. Yes. Please let this happen god! I swear here and now, if this makes it to the screen I will become a bettter person! If I HAVE TO I will even agree that the fireing of memflix by FOX for giving FF2 a bad review was a good thing. Of course that would mean SATAN is in charge but if that means a Godzilla IMAX film then so be it!
-
The Matthew Brodderick POS was terrible...hope this one is worth sitting through.
-
has me so excited that my excitement has turned full circle into an intense feeling of shame
-
anyway, what the hell does man in suit mean? very embarassing to ask in a geek site but goes to show some people dont know everything there is to know about godzilla. seein the subject, would never have guessed that the radioactive dinosaur was the cause.
-
Thanks a lot zelusfin, kick a man while he's down why dont ya?
-
Can people not give their kids the latitude to develop their own tastes and interests? Do parents need to makes sure that their kids are just little versions of themselves?
-
lets both be ashamed then. i still dont know what the hell man in suit means. whats wrong with the godzilla wii game? or are you not a fan at all? no disrespect, just a q.
-
Wasn't the guy who did the movie Versus(asian-zombie-gangster-kungfu) supposed to do a big budget Godzilla with all the old school effects guys? Did that ever get made and just not reach state side or ???
I haven't done any of the modern 3d flicks, but isn't 'zilla the wrong color for this to work well, or are they no longer blue/red based to get the effect? -

Man in suit always better then any CGI bullshit
by allpowerfulwizardofoz
Hope it's a huge smash for them. Go Godzilla go!

I hate being redundant, I've writeen e-mails though, and I'm just hoping someone can address it. if it's crazy talk and no one cares, so be it...you GOTTA extend the number of articles that are on the front page. if news is slow, and a couple days go by with just 1 or 2 new articles, it's fine. but when a rush of stuff comes in, well, it regularly happens that an article will get posted at 10pm on one day, and by 10pm the next day, it's off the front page! and if someone didn't check out AICN that day (not me, I check it everyday, like the geek I am), they wouldn't even have any idea it existed. and since the only way to search for old articles is to know what you're searching for (no way to look at "yesterday's articles" or "last week's articles"), no one will ever see it!
I love the site, and I just hate it when sometimes I'm busy and skip a day, and it happens to be a busy one news-wise, and I miss out.
can't you just extend the main section a bit? or god forbid install something to let people go back a little ways to recent articles that are just out of range to end up on the front page? -
This is how the world works. You shit out some kids, you twist and mold them into what you think they outta be, they rebel, get tattoos, get knocked up, get AIDS, and finally end up more successful than you are. That's the American Dream.
-
now i get it... dur..
-
for giving me a clue and not spoonfeeding the answer. though i know that post was not for me. but if it was thank you again. how could i not see it right away. man in suit. ofcourse! what a dumbass... none of you reply to that. anyway... WHAT?!!! man in suite godzilla again?!! well if the ilm guys are doin it. who the fuck knows..
-
Will there be a new Hamtaro cartoon with the feature?
-
I was trying to say that I'm so excited by the prospect of both the game and the imax film that I'm ashamed of myself i.e it's not dignified for a man of my age but excited I am, a whole 360 degrees of excitement!
-
you give kids a free reign and it's Barney 24/7. My two year has to watch Godzilla films Clockwork Orange Style. Thomas The Tank Engine somehow sneeked past my filter though. Those engines are like crack to kids.
-
Up from the depths 50 stories high, breathing fire, it's Godzilla and Godzookiiiiiiiiiiiii!
-
Back in the '50s it looked cool, cameras were weak, image was grainy, the rubber monster was alive. Fast forward to the present, todays equpiment shot crystal clear images, but man in suit didn't improve radically (at least not at the japos), it does look now laughable at best.
-
not my best tb ever.
-
..Mothra twins do a cameo!! One last little request: Have them swapping cum..Thank you Toho!!
-
Gojira kicks Transformer´s shiny asses.
-
Back in the 80's, Steve Miner was trying to put together a 3-D Godzilla film, with designs by William Stout which were really good. But I'm always up for more Godzilla, although I don't think we need another remake of "Kind of the Monsters."
-
The real Gojira killed him in Sydney, as seen in the crazy Godzilla: Final Wars.
-
Obviously I meant "King of the Monsters," but "Kind of the Monsters" does sound interesting, if a bit ambivalent.
-
damage that Final Wars left behind. I wanted to like that film but they blew it. Now if they had given that budjet to Shusuke Kaneko...

Is this a gimmicky short, or an actual, full-blooded new Godzilla feature-- and in English? We'll see. If it's a feature I will take the razor off my wrist at least until it comes out. I saw Destroy All Monsters again last night (with the AIP soundtrack, thank you, not the international one) and it amazes me that Godzilla is not making millions for Toho and some lucky US studio. Hopefully this IMAX project will be "Godzilla Begins" to Sony's Mathhew Broderick abomination. Toho's "Millenium" G-flicks were okay (especially GMK-- the Godzilla movie for adults) but I want a $200M American G-Flick with Angilas, Mothra, Ghidorah, Manda, Titanosaurus, Ebirah, Gigan, and yes even Megalon. And Mecha Godzilla also-- but only as a BAD GUY. By the way, I'M not bothered by the fact that Banno only directed one Godzilla movie-- SMOG MONSTER. Is anyone else bothered by that?
-
Banno, the director is the same guy who directed Vs The Smog Monster?
Not one of the best. Has he done anything since that makes you think he will do a good job of this? -
why waste an imax 3d experience on such a crappy man in suit film... update the criminaly overlooked 98 version!!!
-
A 3-D Godzilla IMAX movie...sounds like a dream. I will miss the "man in suit", but if the CGI version resembles the real Godzilla, then I will be happy. This film needs to open NOW....I may get hit by a bus one day and I want to live to see it.
-
IT was 1998. and it was AWESOME!!!!
-
When Real Godzilla smacked down the Broderick Godzilla...it was a real moment.
-
VERSUS Director Ryuhei Kitamura did make Godzilla Final Wars! Which by the way i loved both! Kitamura is Awesome! I love all of his flix!
-
to have Godzilla's massive foot (paw?) coming out of the screen to stomp the viewer into oblivion! Or the radioactive breath coming out to vaporize you! And yes, it MUST be man in suit!
-
thank god. Although ET still scares the crap out of her. Go figure.
-
My interest again has gone up..
Filming in Las Vegas tells me we are going to have some casino destruction.. And I love casinos getting destroyed...also I seem to remember that there was talk way back in the 80's of a Godzilla in 3-d that was going to be directed by Mike Minor who was attached briefly to Star Trek.. I think I remember that...Does that ring a bell with anybody? -
He prefers the small screen of his PSP to the oversized IMAX screens!
-
Final Wars kicked ass, and yes Kentucky Colonel you are correct. The best part was when GINO was fried till he was finger lickin' good.
-
Happiness.....pure happiness.......

Happiness.....pure happiness.......

MIS Godzilla was entertaining when I was eight, laughable by twelve and just plain sad by my teens. Even bong hits didn't help. Evidently, what Jerry Lewis' "brilliance" is to Frenchmen, rubber Godzilla suits are to certain Americans...what Stephen King called "the siren song of shit".
-
Wouldn't be such a ignorant fool. "ZOMG GODZILLA IS LAME"! These films were gold back in the sixties. With infused character and monster plots, aswell as god-like special effects at the time, Godzilla films are deserving of praise.
(DISCLAIMER: Like all series though, Godzilla has its shit) -
...Is an ignorant fool. What's that supposed to be...the premier item at a college town McDonalds? Regarding your phony reverence for rubber-monster-cardboard-building nostalgia trips, having taste doesn't exactly mean exercising a preference for old turds over fresh ones...even if they're served up with white rice and chopsticks.
-
You seem to be under the impression that the suits are actually made of rubber, and that the miniture buildings are actually made of cardboard. Maybe you should watch more than Godzilla vs Megalon before you decide to judge a whole series based on stereotypical knowledge.
