Godzilla's breath is blue. It was white in the first movie because the movie was in black and white only.
i'd rather see a glimpse of a muto, keeps their mystery
I think maybe at the 100 day countdown we may get something. I don't think we'll get a trailer very soon.
I want to see Godzilla in a silohuete form, and a glimpse of the MUTO.
And character reveal as well.
I think I'm speaking for everyone when I say that I want to see a Muto. Even a glimpse at the body!
really for the average movie goer they need to let them know that this is a serious godzilla movie, with a serious plot and serious cast, i think interviews with the main cast member will help as well although they have been interviewed multiple times, i some how think that the next step in the MUTO Research website will focus on the mystery of the monsters and muations including the sinkholes, if not it may act like a servellience on the main casts characters with bios and reports of activity or locations of monster attacks.
Something of the Mutos. Godzilla being himself and a bit of his first attack.
Godzilla's attack on Hawaii.
Official music of the movie.
A hint of his atomic breath.
Yeah but 1 trailer and 2 posters in a 4 month span? I'm sure there will be more, but like they could use non-spoilerish movie stills with quotes or catchy taglines printed on them. Concept artwork, or even mini-video clips like they did with the Muto Research site promotion.
There's another point - MUTOResearch.net = a great idea and a great viral site with a ton of homages to the franchise. But when was the last time something was discovered on the site? Again, something new every week or even bi-weekly would keep interest high. I haven't visited the Muto Research site in a while, since mostly everything was discovered.
I agree we'll probably see something new within the next 3 weeks, but willit be substantial enough to ignite more interest in the "average joe".
Cause we need to remember, the marketing isn't really for Godzilla fans. They know we'll see the movie no matter what. The bigges challenge will be to get the average movie goer to see Godzilla. They're the hardest to sway and get in the theater. The target demographic will be primarily young to mid-age men for the most part. Not many women are into Godzilla, despite my efforts to promote by word of mouth, hahaha. Godzilla also doesn't fit the description of a "date" movie, so the chances of boyfriends convincing their girlfriends to go see the movie is also slim. That cuts some ticket sale opporutnities in half.
That's why I'm so adamant that this marketing needs to be "in your face". I'm not discounting Legendary's efforts, and I'm not expecting Godzilla to fail. I'm remaining very optimistic. Just voicing ideas on how the film's success could be amplified even more.
worst concept was godzilla flying in godzilla vs hedorah, seriously it was the most stupidist and idiotic moments in godzilla history and even the dvd scene selection says 'something you don't see everyday'
i mostly agree with you chris, now for an earlyer date of prediction for an full official trailer then i'd say march to mid april, maybe even with the 300 sequel and also i heard there is a toy thing happening in march and i'm sure the next teaser will be between mid feburay to mid march with possibly 2 more posters teasing the MUTOs.
MECHA GODZILLA 3 IS A BADASS!!!!! I SHALL BRING YOU ALL TO YOUR DEMISE!!!!!!
I totally agree I think it'll do fine and I also agree 4 months is more than enough time to market the film, but for a film like Godzilla, if I was in charge of their marketing department, I'd be marketing it at least once a week 6 months prior to release. Something new every week or twice a week. Then only speed it up as we get closer to release. I just find movies like X-Men and other superhero movies get promoted years in advance and extensively withint a year leading up to release andthey rake in the Box Office dollars.
Look at Twitter, though there's no real correlation with number of Twitter followers and ticket sales, it does show who's interested enough to "follow" updates on a certain movie. You've got some movies with 20K plus followers and some even as high as 1M! Some movies launch multiple Twitter profiles and Facebook pages to add to the viral marketing campaign, which further promote the film and gain fans. Godzills currently is just over 10K followers. Our fan account is at just pver 6K followers. Combined we're a fraction of what Amazing Spiderman 2 has.
Now, Legendary's Pacific Rim Twitter has 20K plus followers. Since both are Kaiju movies, why not market Godzilla as well with Pacific Rim? Our fan Pacific Rim account has about 5800 followers and I occasionally will advertise Godzilla on that account too and it boosts our article views by a few thousand and in the case of a trailer, helps up the view count by tens of thousands.
I'm just not sure if a 4 month blitz of marketing will be "enough" to sway those who might no give a crap about Godzilla, or automatically associate it with the '98 let down. It's a tricky situation. There's no universal marketing strategy that works for every movie. Each one needs to be unique. I have faith in Legendary, they're true fans at heart and I think fans are the best marketers because their more passionate about the film. But we're going up against Amazing Spider-Man 2, which has a lot of followers and fans behind it. CHances are every person who sees Godzilla will also see Spider-Man 2, but not every person who sees Spider-Man 2 will see Godzilla. So the marketing for Godzilla needs to be more aggressive and persistent. But that's my opinion.
PLEASE I JUST WANT TO SEE THE AIRPORT SCENE IN FULL!!!!!!
As much as I would like the full trailer to be released that soon, it will most likely be released around March.
@GODZILLA1995 That would be way too late, even from a marketing standpoint.
i'd say an full official trailer will be either between april to the start of may, it would be funny if the godzilla trailer was shown in front of TASM2.
Im pretty srue A new trailer will be arriving soon maybe in March or feb And i think it,s going too be an offical trailer or another teaser but im going too see what happens
there are like 4 months before the movie, that is still plenty of time, and i think they have done a good job so far, i know more of the plot of ASM2 and XMEN DoFP more than this movie, i have no clue what this movie invloves other than the synopis, that means i will be surprised and unexepcting stuff in the movie. plus they need to release more posters and banners, they are just as good as trailers and cheaper marketing tools, also you got websites like ign and youtube channels like watch mojo.com and internet critiques/reviewers including james rolfe aka. angry videogame nerd is is a big godzilla fan. the movie will do fine, i predict it will be one of the highest rated movies between 80-95% on rotton tomatoes, it may not do financially well against amazing spiderman 2 but it might be rated better than it.
It's true the biggest factor holding Godzilla back is probably the tarnished relationship between WB and Legendary, but WB still has a hand in the pocket of Godzilla's success, so I doubt they'll ignore it completely.
It makes sense that 300 will feature a Godzilla trailer, it's pretty much guaranteed. But will itbe the first trailer? Or something new? That's the question.
I hope Legendary does a series of behind-the-scene featurettes like they did with Pacific Rim leading up to Godzilla's release. Featurettes that show audiences that this Godzilla is mature, serious and a film to be excited about.
1. The full airport scene with the spider M.U.T.O and Godzilla's foot
2. Hear a new roar from godzilla and the M.U.T.O creatures
3. Maybe a new M.U.T.O creature?
4. Thats all I got
im sure they will release one soon, i think people are over reacting to this 'lack of marketing' this seems pretty normal, i never know when a new movie is coming out untill i either go cinema 6-2 months before the films release or 1month-2 weeks before release, so i'd say the marketing will kick off even more between march-2 weeks before may 16th
Chris Picard, I personally believe we may see a bit more viral marketing in the next month or two...and a final trailer around March...specifically about time for the release of 300 Rise of an Empire. It would make sense, advertise a Legendary film infront of a Legendary Film. I'm really fearful for this film. WB and Legendary haven't exactly been kind to eachother since their contract ran out. WB just barely pushed Pacific Rim out the door. They didn't want to market it. I fear the same for Godzilla. 13+ Million views on the trailer is a good sign, but it could be better. One thing that still makes me curious is a statement Aaron Johnson made a few months ago. He said they would start a marketing tour...I'm not exactly sure what he meant by that, but I'm still curious. I've been predicting how this movie will do at box office, and the numbers I believe we will see will be good, but not amazing. I predicted the same for Pacific Rim, and I was pretty much right...
I reallly want this film to succeed...but I fear it may have a bumpy road.

I doubt it also. I've had Legendary tell me they don't reveal trailer release dates. We can only speculate. I'd like to think Legendary plans to drop trailer #2 on the 100 day countdown mark, which would be February 4th - 5th. But again, that's just more speculation. They didn't release anything for Godzilla's 59th anniversary, so I'm honestly not sure if they'll roll with the "...In 100 days" type of promotion. We'll just have to wait and see.
My expectations are lines from the characters so we can know what the story will be like.
And Godzilla's feet stomping something.

^This.
The Gido-Goji Godzilla suit is probably my favorite suit of the Heisei series! It really looked tall and beefy. If only it had the same head movements as the Moge/Desu-Goji suit, then it would've been perfect.
oops how do u paste pictures?
i also love that godzilla suit especially the buffed up chest
My reactions to this is just

Oh, I agree. I love Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, even with it's laundry list of flaws. The movie really trips up on itself during the second act, but I thought Teresawa trying to figure out Godzilla's origins in the first act was interesting. And, of course, when Godzilla returns the movie kicks into high gear.
There's some good stuff in this movie, it's just not wholly consistant to be a great movie.
dam i knew that i just forgot to mention that, i still think the movie was good especially the godzilla and shindo scene (which is anouther point in the movie that is misinterpretated)
Well, that's not the only connection the movie, Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, has with Godzilla vs. Biollante.
Remember, Akira Yuki is seeking revenge on Godzilla for killing Lt. Gondo in Godzilla vs. Biollante. Which means the events in that movie still happened. Unfortunately, there's a whole lot of connecting the dots thanks to a great deal of sloppy writing.
I really hope this happens. Maybe we can see a sequel to Cloverfield, others kaiju movies like you said and of course, a trilogy for the new Godzilla.
im really hoping this happens. im hoping for a ton of remakes and a ton of new monsters
yeah because many big godzilla fans like james rolfe aka. ANGN and others got confused and thought that 1984 didn't happen, biollante didn't exist and that the godzilla in the movie was a differenent one. it is so obvious that spacegodzilla is a decendant of biollante because 1. same tusks 2. when spacegodzilla dies his body becomes spores just like biollante.
Good catch. That does seem to be the one hole in the fixed loop theory. While the Futarians caused the birth of the Heisei Godzilla it seems it was a fixed point. Grenchicko even says, "The birth of Godzilla was an unavoidable event."
It's possible that Emmi traveled into an alternate timeline, briefly, where Godzilla did destroy Japan. And then brought Mecha-King Ghidorah back to alter the timeline back to its original state where Japan prospers and becomes the most powerful nation by 2100/2200s.
OR, her superior officer at the EUO might have just been refering to that one event. Godzilla's destroyed cities in Japan numerous times, he could have referred to any event prior to Destroyah as a consequence and Emmi's return with Mecha-King Ghidorah could be looked at as a fixed point that simply avoided one of those rampages.
In the end there are still plot holes and inconsistancies, as with most timetravel movies, but the movie absolutely did not erase Godzilla (1984) and Godzilla vs. Biollante.
I also want to make a brief correction. The Godzillasaurus was mutated by a Russian sub that sank in the 1970s. Not bomb tests.
