So excited!!!!!

I really hope this is to be the film is was hoping to see in 1998.

I'll give Gareth Edwards the benefit of the doubt as he is also a fan of Godzilla.

(Grounded in reality)

He mean's how the world would react if an atomic breathing monster rose from the sea, How would the government react, The effects of radiation, an also the aftermath of damage Godzilla an the other monsters cause.

Thats what he means by grounded in reality.

An No the 1998 film wasn't realistic in any sense.

what the hell is a " grounded, realistic version of Godzilla." the big guy needs to be tearing up buildings, the military and other monsters. DO NOT want to see a movie that hardly features him

A while back I pitched an idea for a sequel to the original Gojira.

In the years since the original, Godzilla has returned after being presumed dead and has made his home on a small Japanese island. Godzilla considers Tokyo part of its territory and every now and then, goes on a rampage through Tokyo, just to mark its territory.

Decades pass and the Japanese have taken the Godzilla presence in their stride. After years of failing to destroy the monster, they've learned to put up with it and society in Tokyo is now arranged around Godzilla. Buildings are constructed in a more robust way to give them a better chance to stay standing after a Godzilla attack. Shelters have been built all around the city, buried underground for people to go to when the alarm sounds, it's gotten to a stage where a death in a Godzilla attack has become pretty rare thanks to early warning systems. In fact more people die in crashes in a week in all of Japan than die from a Godzilla attack in Tokyo. In fact a booming tourist trade has arisen with thrill-seekers traveling to Japan in the hope of actually being part of an attack.

Japan's "oh well" attitude towards Godzilla doesn't sit well with the rest of the world and when a cargo vessel is attacked, the world decides to take action. Since Japan had already spent years trying to kill Godzilla and failed, the first thought is to nuke the island (because that worked out so well the last time a lizard was nuked...) but since the island in Japanese, who don't like the idea of their territory being nuked, for obvious reasons, a UN backed team is sent to the island to subdue Godzilla and basically poison it to death.

It all goes quite well and Godzilla's lifeless body sinks into the sea. The world is free from the mutant dinosaur...but the peace doesn't last long. Soon, other monsters begin attacking Tokyo and it turns out that Godzilla wasn't just rampaging, he was marking his territory in order to keep the other monsters at bay and with Godzilla gone, the other monsters are free to lay waste to Tokyo.

So the Japanese decide on the lesser of two evils and attempt to find hopefully revive Godzilla so it can defeat the other monsters and force them to return to the island...a...monster island...if you like. :P

The "realistic approach" was done in 1998 . . .



The TRex-Iguana-Zilla does not interest me.

If Godzilla were realistic, he would be dead from nuclear poisoning or scattered into thousands of pieces when the nuke hit him.

I think this will be one of the reboots that is actually successful. And is also very necessary.

The first American Godzilla movie is a joke.

@lntrn8 That movie killed the Godzilla movie franchise in America. I really hope the reboot can save Godzilla over here.





There is only one Godzilla:

@Vadakin: I really like your concept. It's outstanding. Why can't guys like us with great ideas find their way into Hollywood? Dude, we'd tear sh!t up!!! Full props, Brother. Your idea rocks!

It's going to be a character piece about a "fish out of water" who finds his world turned upside down, in the modern world. In his search for a job and love, Godzilla learns that it's not always about the people in your life, it's about how many skyscrapers you can take down in a single kick. Starring Rob Schneider.

@GhostZillaRider I think it would work on a lot of levels. First, it would be set in Tokyo. It would be a direct sequel to the original Gojira and while it would effectively ignore the rest of the franchise continuity, it would pay homage to them by introducing Monster Island and other monsters, allowing the opportunity to bring in Rodan or King Ghidorah. It also links into Japan's history with nuclear weapons and aversion to them which is in part, what Gojira was an allegory for. The UN-backed taskforce would provide an international cast to satisfy studios afraid of the lowest common denominator not watching a film with all Japanese people. It would also confirm Godzilla's status as king of the monsters.

@Vadakin: Like I said, your idea is top notch. I couldn't agree more with your take on Big G. Wish you were screenwriting for the new movie. Still, I have high hopes that they'll make this a truly worthy Godzilla film.
Keep being boss!!!

Hollywood needs to treat Godzilla with respect and the make this film properly. No one wants a bastardized version of Godzilla akin to the 1998 film. They need to respect the source material, do research on Godzilla, and listen to what us hard-core fans are saying.

Hopefully this "realistic" approach doesn't mean we get Godzilla 1998 all over again.

Seriously, if the Japanese have to rename this monster Zilla (again) and have the real Godzilla kick it's ass (again), I think that'll pretty much end any hopes of a good big-budget spectacle Godzilla movie. We'll just have to stick with Japenese guys in rubber suits.
