@Ratedrex and @Destroyah-X

King Kong vs. Godzilla made more than $1.25 million. The $1.25 million number is the result for the movie's theater rentals, not gross.

@Zaffzilla

This is the second time you've flown off the rails and used offensive language because you can't handle someone's differing opinion. If you do it again the consequences will be unpleasant. I promise. Play nice or you won't be playing at all. Capiche?

I would like to see a scene of godzilla blood leaking towards a rosein the destruction the screen turns to black and you hear Biollante's roar.

@RatedRex

Sorry to say this, but you seem to be crapping when you say: "King Kong vs Godzilla" made $1.25 million dollars.  Considering inflation, that would be about $10 million in today's market.  Ten million in today's market would be considered a flop. "

No offence, but are you sure ur a marketing person or even marketing for a movie production studio in the first place? Or are you just inflating yourself to appear more credible in your argument? cos if u are then perhaps you did badly doing marketing for other companies and ended up working for yourself? 

As far as movie production budgets versus box office takings are concerned, in order for a movie to be considered a commercial success today, it would have to at least generate twice the amount of money spent on producing and marketing the movie. 

If you haven't realized, King Kong vs Godzilla was produced in Japan at a budget of 5 Million Yen and its box-office takings in Japan was 350 Million Yen, which is 70 times over the budget. It was then produced in an English version which was distributed by Universal at the cost of $200,000 in America, where it earned $1.25 million dollars (6.25 times over the budget). So since when is King Kong vs Godzilla a flop ? So please get your facts right Mr Marketing Guy. 

And as for a different take in terms of marketing the trailers to the Asian region, you do realize that American audiences and Asians have different tastes? While Pacific Rim generated slightly over $110 million in the States, Asians pretty much favoured the movie which pushed the box-office takings for Pacific Rim well past $400 million. This is an indication that Asians are indeed warming up to the idea of monsters battling each other despite being unfamiliar with the characters in Pacific Rim.

And when Legendary takes Godzilla (a household name in the league of monsters) and does a marketing push for the movie, you can be sure they are going to concentrate more resources to the region because Asia is going to be the key to ensuring a huge box-office success for Godzilla 2014. 

Never mind what you think whether its Godzilla vs Man or Godzilla vs any other monster that's going to make a difference in the box-office earnings. The Asians love such monster movies. Period. And that's the region that would make or break Godzilla, forget the States. 

Actually, I meant any Godzilla monster, not Goji himself...

@DURATOK

yeah but speculations only of G2014

I would have to say GMK, he's just so awesome, the white eyes, and all that. But if not that then Godzilla 1954.

@MRHAPPY9097 

LOL Your right my friend, but Austin 5:16 refers to one of my earlier posts.

I made it 5:16 to coincide with godzilla's release date ;)

Aliens vs Predator films was not well-received by the fans and critics. Neither the first one or the second one. Sure, the concept could have worked with a more talented director (Paul Anderson is lousy director in my opinion, he should stick to his Resident Evil genres). But thanks to how they ruined it, I don't think we'll see a AVP film in a long while, a decent one anyway.

Godzilla vs KingKong worked not because it was a cross-over but because the story had appeal.

You can just automatically say "cross-over" and expect the film to work.

"The footage can be in any form you like ... even a musical."

Yes. YES. YES. SOMEONE DO THIS.

Given the poster has approx 3000 posts, and some users know him,

it seems legit. It is true, that he could be pulling the legs of everyone, but I lean toward

him telling the truth and is reporting on what happened. The way he discussed the movie also sounds legit.

Speaking of promo items has anyone seen these?   I bought one and I was completely surprised it's just so random for a new Godzilla item. :D

How do we know its legit? And not some troll pulling our leg? His photos could be of any cinema. 

...

GMAN, well said as usual.

Koldwarkid-I have the same sentiment.

 I can't really think of any other American edit that actually worked to be honest.

Same here Gojira2K. I wish my town had a landmark.

king ghidora doesnt have to come from space. he could be another monster from godzillas time just like any other monster could be

well thats dissapointing. oh well i guess. anyway hopefully sci-fy puts the movies back on the air. if not crackle will will most likely have added a some new movies. if anybody doesnt know what crackle is its a site where you can watch movies for free. they have a few godzilla movies on there

Theme*

Any Godzilla theme makes me think of him.

Akira Ifukube is forever entwined with the king, and his theme is my favorite theme of any movie or Kaiju. I really hope that they use Akira's theme in this film at least once, that will bring a smile to my face.

@gman2007 just some curoisty i had. i still have old tapes from scfi

Nice work!

^Yeah, I still can't seem to confirm the Cartoon Network thing. No idea where that came from. And that wikipedia list of Godzilla movies to air on CN has disappeared:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programs_broadcast_by_Cartoon_Network#Upcoming_programming

And yes, the Sci-Fi Channel used to have plenty of Godzilla movies, but I don't know if SyFy has the balls to put that on anymore.

"Ooh Zaffzilla, what horrible language" (from the twins in "Ghidrah, the Three Headed Monster"). 

Hey man, lighten up.  Its just conversation.  Don't take it personal.  Nobody's doubting Godzilla.  I said that it will gross $800-$1 billion.  How is that doubting it?  In a couple of weeks we all will be telling happy stories about how great the movie was.  Even my 82 year-old-old father is going to go with me to see it.

i wasnt just showa and heisei. it was millenium as well and i miss all those movies dearly. i havent heard anything about sci-fi but its a possibillity that they will be on cartoon network at least it just a rumor for now

According to this reviewer the "Atomic Breath" is "Violent" and portrayed in a manner we have never seen before. Color me intrigued.

Fantastic!!!!!

I'm stunned by how much they look like the actual characters! The Godzilla 2014 drawing looks exactly like him, the MUTO face looks like the MUTO, King Ghidorah looks identical to the monster.... and man, I am loving that Zilla! The pictures are amazing! You got all of the details in all of those drawings. They honestly couldn't be any better.

Keep it up, man. This is truly amazing work! :)

:(

@RatedRex In general, this is more of a three-way between Humanity, the Mutos, and Godzilla. Audiences got a taste of mech-vs-monster action with Pacific Rim, and it satisfied, but was only half of why people like daikaiju films. The other is the struggle of humans against giant monsters in general, whether or not they're fighting each other. No matter what, you can never make humans win without it not making logical sense in the perspective of the movie logic.

It's not a question of making it monster-vs-monster exclusively with a few humans thrown in. The movie is about humans thrown into the mash-up between forces they can't control, but still heavily involved when they shouldn't be. If it were a stand-alone Godzilla flick with no other adversaries of equal power, it'd be a pretty bad Godzilla movie to start off since it's been established that humans can't do a damn thing.

Basically, if you don't have really powerful superweapons or other equally powerful independent forces like other monsters, it's just humans losing to Godzilla without him having any challenge for him to struggle through as well as the characters, or the character being ruined by "realistic damage logistics" like the 1998 film. It's Godzilla. If he's not fighitng something worthy of a challenge, it's not really gonna work either way.

You didn't post any images or provide a link.

@bigbadben, 

Yes, I think you can.

This was posted earlier today by the artist who created the picture.

I think this was already showed in this site.

Moved to Fan Works.

Frankenstein's face lol. But Baragon looks cute.

Wow! the drawings look indentical to the characters! Great job!

That is old.

I'm still not quite sure if Gareth Edwards' realistic approach to the Godzilla mythos would allow the possibility of giant robots like Mechagodzilla.  Then again, a creature like Godzilla himself is already fairly farfetched, and Edwards was apparently wanting King Ghidorah, the three-headed space dragon, for a sequel, so who knows?
