    America to get a second chance at Godzilla?

    55 years and 28 movies later, the Japanese monster Godzilla is looking to make his return to big screens everywhere. Making his first appearance in 1954 (Gojira) Godzilla is a giant monster that lives in the sea that comes from the ocean to feed on mankind. 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. In 1998, TriStar Pictures produced a remake set in New York City, directed by Roland Emmerich and starring Matthew Broderick. In recent interviews for 2012 Emmerich has said that he's not interested in sequels (even though all of his disaster movies are basically the same). More details as they come in.
    http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/17061


    It's BD, who knows how much credit to give this.

    That said, this could really go either way of a real great film or pure shit. Roland Emmerich's film I thought was great when I saw it, but I was also 12 years old and now....yeah, I've grown out of that. If this is true, I only hope a good director will helm it.

    I should give the 1998 version a re-watch. From what I remember, I loved it, but I 10 so..

    First off I don't believe it cuz its BD, they will report anything at all that will come their way. But would I want this to work? of course. Will it? No. Thats because the styles are just to different. Japanese audiences are accepting enough for movies like Godzilla to atleast give the flick a chance.

    A guy in a rubber suit playing a giant city destroying monster in an american movie? Wouldn't work except for the hardcore fans. So what will they do? CG it....again. And we all know how well THAT worked out the first time. It sucked in the first Godzilla remake, and it sucked even harder in cloverfield. That and they'll completely change Godzilla....again. To "americanize it" or whatever excuse they come up with. They'll change everything and slap on the name Godzilla to sell tickets. In a perfect world this would be AWESOME. But it won't work in america. They'll give it to a director who like I said before will change everything to "better create a believable character" or some stupid bullshit. God all this talk is making me hate most directors.....

    since the first time toho sold the gman out for an american movie was a flop I doubt it will happen again, the fact that the real godzilla wrecked the american zilla in Final Wars pretty much sums up how Toho feels about the american version.

    I say no thanks to a remake unless its from Japan itself.

    Yeah I concur with the general consensus.

    I thought the American version was fun back in the day but a few viewings and it's horrific with nothing to do with what made the Japan Godzilla great.

    A remake will likely be a careful yet failsome retry of the same concept.

    Right about now, I could use a new Godzilla flick. But y'all are probably right; an American director will just fuck it all up, again.

    They already remade the 1998 US remake, it was called Cloverfield.

    Uhmm... I kinda liked cloverfield...
    With that said - The American Godzilla sucked - It'll probably suck again.
    Japanese Godzilla (Gojira) is a nasty city destroying monstrosity and what we'll get is probably a giant gecko or something stupid assed like that.
    That's if they actually are trying for a remake.... Rumors, Rumors, Rumors...

    If I could pick someone to write and direct this, it'd be Guillermo del Toro. The only issue is that he has films up the ass right now, with The Hobbit, the remake of The Orphanage and the rurmoed Hellboy 3.

    I thought the Cloverfield monster was the new Godzilla.

    I'm down for another crack at a American Godzilla. I'm one of the few who really liked the 1998 flick, saw it in the theaters in America and Germany when I visited family there. Just as long as Godzilla doesn't look bad and it has good story with big monster ass kicking I'm down, I like these type of movies, I really dug Cloverfield when that came out.

    I wouldn't be against something similar to the American version. The opening half hour had some serious promise/ideas. The script/story just falls apart after his reveal and Emmerich and Devlin don't know subtlety from a hole in the ground. So if a new film can have a better story/crew behind it (and much less humor, Godzilla is meant to be played straight) I wouldn't turn it down. It's unlikely it could be worse than how '98 turned out.

    But it's Godzilla.... I grew up on Godzilla... You should see the original ad the more recent ones where they made him mean as hell.
