Merrick here...


The last time we saw Godzilla, he/she/it got to beat the crap out of GINO in a hilariously brief and decisive battle while getting ready to take an extended break from Japanese screens. This was in GODZILLA: FINAL WARS, the last Godzilla film to be produced in Japan for a while (The Powers That Be decided the franchise needed a break overseas - maybe for as long as ten years if I recall correctly).

The same moratorium doesn't apply here in the States, where the specter of further Godzilla films has loomed large since Emmerich & Devlin's 1998 take on the property. We've heard talk of a sequel to that film...discussions of an IMAX Godzilla project...the potentials have been wildly varied been endless.

BloodyDisgusting now says Legendary is in very early talks to relaunch big G...

Bloody Disgusting has learned exclusively that Legendary Pictures is looking to do another major movie with the iconic horror monster (they are in early discussions), although there are NO details at this point other than this should be a reboot.

...says Bloody Disgusting HERE.

I suspect different people respond to different elements of GODZILLA mythos, and that this is one of those TREK-like projects that'll never be able to please everybody. What would you want from a GODZILLA movie?

Personally, I'd love to see a GODZILLA film told with a lot of energy, and one that's pretty wild. I've always loved the concept of Machiavellian space aliens and robots running around in the GODZILLAverse - it'd be really cool to have a big, fun, high-octane take on such conceits that's goofy fun but never derides the property. Also, ya know, I wouldn't mind seeing an all-out free for all with many, many tanks and jets -vs- GODZILLA; chase cams following jet fighters as they relentlessly unleash on big G, etc. We've seen such attacks before in G movies, but...imagine the ungodly devastation that current filmmaking tech could realize. It also needs heart: there was often a sense of tragedy in the GODZILLA films - it wasn't always terribly pleasant watching G get beaten down. It should not be like CLOVERFIELD.

Finally, dare I say it...

MAN IN SUIT!!!

I know these things sold out...like...the instant they were released. But, if anyone knows where I can find the toy below...PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
