I share some of your hopes, as well as...

1: Seeing more of these Muto monsters.

2: Seeing more of the American Godzilla.

3: Learning more of the story.

oh and there is something else that was easy to miss but makes complete sense, when the future people came, they were from a time were nukes are banned and japan is the most powerful nation on earth, after king ghidorah is defeated by godzilla and emiko goes back to the future japan was destoryed by ''a monster'', so the events around the humans can change, but godzilla is a fixed point in time, both 1954 and heisei godzilla's creation are locked in time and any way of prventing their creation annot exist, also as long as their is nuclear weapons, godzilla will always exist.

Alright while I hope as much as the next person that Forbes is wrong in this case (and I do have a lot of respect for Forbes in general) I've had some worries as of late myself.

Most of the marketing has, indeed, been all viral.  Most people I talk to haven't even heard of this movie, and while I do my part to explain the concept of it and often succeed in getting them excited for it, I don't see the studio doing nearly as much as they need to to promote it.  We've seen 300 pushed for months.  At this point last year we had a couple teasers AND a full trailer for Pacific Rim (actually we had them in December) and that film didn't come out till July! Almost a year ago we had the first trailer for 300 and that showed more than the Godzilla teaser did.  Hell, I remember going to the premiere of that 1998 film (which I enjoyed considering I was 8 at the time) and the teasers/trailers for that came out a year prior (remember the Zilla foot stepping on the T-Rex skeleton?) and that film had the Independence Day name behind it.  With no Super Bowl trailer I am getting worried.  If you look at the marketting for, say, Avatar, a film we can all agree was a HUGE box office success, by this time in the development cycle there were some spectacular trailers and media hype building for it.  Little of that is happening for Godzilla outside of Science Fiction style websites and media that tends to focus on comic book style movies.  I am stoked for this movie but they really REALLY need to get heavy on the marketting... this spring/summer is going to be stocked full of movies that people will want to see on a limited budget in a bad economy... Godzilla needs to stake out a place in people's minds now.

@Kaijujira

Dave Callaham only wrote the first draft of the script, roughly two years ago. Since then the script has been re-worked by David Goyer, who co-wrote The Dark Knight trilogy, and then that draft was punched up by Max Borenstien, who is a new and upcoming screenwriter. (He recently did a draft for Legendary's Seventh Son.)

After Max Borenstien's draft, Drew Pearce was asked to come in and age the characters to be a little older. I imagine the dialogue is a little better after Pearce got his hands on it, because he's known for having really smooth/witty lines for his characters. Drew Pearce co-wrote Iron Man 3, so you can imagine the dialogue is pretty good. Finally, after Pearce's draft, Frank Darabont doctored the final draft in order to add more emotion to some very character driven scenes. (Frank Darabont wrote and directed The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Mist and created The Walking Dead television series. People call him the greatest script doctor in Hollywood.)

The reason that Max Borenstien and Dave Callham are the only two people getting credit is because Writers Guild rules dictate that the people who made the biggest changes to the story or influenced the scripts story the most only get credit. This happens all time though. There are always more writers for a single movie than we think.

In the end Dave Callaham wrote a script and Max Borenstien, David Goyer, Drew Pearce and Frank Darabont made it better-- which is good, since Goyer, Pearce and Darabont are three of the best screenwriters in Hollywood right now.

I have one on my mac that I'm trying to post here but it won't let me insert it for some reason.

Thanks King of Zombies

Ghostkaiju do you feel like the original march can be "epicfied" or should the new movie have a whole new theme all together?

ah dang it! does anyone know how to properly add photos to a discussion?

to those who would underestimate this movie...

TOYFARE 2014!!!! dammit how many times do i have say it,sorry 12-22 watch for it telling u guys if they dont show any GODZILLA merch there than yeah the franchise is F**ked

I hate remake haters, because they are f*cking selfish. "Just me and my generation can enjoy these masterpieces, new generations have no right to live what I lived, they must watch just the version that I like or screw themselves, f*ck dawn of the planet of the apes, f*ck robocop, f*ck godzilla, f*ck this, f*ck that and bla bla bla..."

Yeah, when a 16 years old kid says shit like "Man of Steel is the best Superman movie ever" or "Bale is a better batman than Keaton" Makes me want to kill someone, and yeah, I don´t Like the new robocop suit (black, really? What have wrong with the silver suit, it was awesome...) But... the hell, I mean, Remakes are not made for the classic fans, they are made for catch a new generation of fans, they just don´t have to do everything by the old school way, but well, The hell with everything.

Well, I have some worries too, some members of the production have just worked in movies that are like... meh, but I still having faith in this movie, because there are people who has made Godzilla films involved in the movie, Alex Desplat will make the music, Gareth Edwards is the director and we have Kick-Ass and Heisenberg to protect the humankind of Godzilla.

Just sit back and relax, the movie will be fine.

This might be a reboot but it's one that NEEDED to happen just like MAN OF STEEL,The guy wrote DOOM seriously!!!!! ugh well as long as the main muto doesnt turn out to be THE ROCK i'll be happy and YES feb or march we should start seeing some serious shit we may not get that superbowl trailr but there's still TOYFARE2014.

Who the HELL is forbes?

Yes he is radioactive and this IS the new age of GODZILLA!!! and your welcome to it. :)

ok lets just say between Febuary or March and lets hope that we get some promo pics for some of the toys for Big G Or news about S.H.Monster Arts Godzilla 2014

Would not be surprised if they show a G14 trailer with the other Super Bowl commercials.

As I said on that thread here:

http://www.godzilla-movies.com/community/forums/topic/30570

But to sum it up, if the leaked script from many ages ago still holds some significance in the current one, the modern day Serizawa may be a descendant of the original in an alternate universe where he never died with the original Godzilla and the Oxygen Destroyer's plans.

If you look real closely you can see a purple or pink mouth bite the train and at the same time see the nech on the left side.

i'd say son of godzilla is, the movie is cheesy but very entertaining. sea monster is just shit and that was my first toho godzilla movie and didn't have godzilla until near the end of the movie.

Lets hope that march is early enough for the Merchandise thing.

cuz if that month goes by and there is still nothing revealed I will begin to worry on the films success.

I also have this strong feeling that the second trailer will be attached to the 300 sequel.

Early to mid March is probably a safe bet. With the final theatrical trailer being released a couple of weeks or so before May 16th.

This of course excludes various TV spots we'll see.

Hey, has anyone here played War of the Monsters? Its an old PS2 kaiju battle game. The way it had the battling was awesome. The ciys were 100% DESTRUCTABLE..... a skyscraper collapsing on someonewas an insant death And you could even use rubble asa wepon to through at your opponent. I would love to see stuff like that in this game.

I Disagree. Godzilla trailer #2 will be March 7th or you can say March 6th . before the release date of 300: Rise of the Empire

Just because there's not gonna be a trailer doesn't meant there won't be some kinda tv spot. The Avengers did the same thing.

You are so right, I'm tired of this crap, save us GOD...ZILLA

The content of the article is one thing, but I have trouble taking it seriously as a professional piece from Forbes due to the typos and/or grammatical mistakes present throughout. Not only does the article misspell “Godzilla” as “Gozilla,” but it also lacks some commas where they should be present.

This may not be relevant to what the article actually discusses, but still, it’s hard to take a piece seriously when it misspells the title of one of the movies it’s discussing. Not to mention all the other problems people have identified with this article. Either way, I of course hope that it's wrong and that the movie performs well. I personally think it'll do fine.

Dont pay any mind to Forbes. They can't just judge a movie before they see it! These idiots just don't know what a good movie is! I don't see them working hard to make a big budget movie that took TIME and MONEY to get right! Forbes just sits at a desk and type crap and false information, just so they can grab the readers attention and make them believe it's true. No wonder why people just give bad ratings to movies! It makes me sick.

Ghidorah got his butt whooped by Godzilla numerous times. The only thing that would be an awesome addition to "legendary" ghidorah is if he had 4 legs, stood on 4 legs like an actualy dragon but he could use them as arms if necessary

1: Godzilla vs Destroyah, his son actually looked like HIS son. 2: Godzila 1954, its not 1st just because of the fact that humans killed him off. 3: Godzilla 2000, his new look was pretty good and really didn't have anything wrong with it except for the CGI

Fight scenes should be like godzilla unleashed but at a slower pace if you know what I mean and it should have a larger variety of moves. And you can out specialties on your monstee such as: more damage when using fire breath, laser vision or whatever is associated with each monster,  faster movement, Etc.

Godzilla VS Mechagodzilla 3. One of my top 10 Godzilla movies.

It might not set any records but no way the movie flops unless it's terrible which I highly doubt it will be. The trailer which is just over 6 weeks old is currently at over 13 million views and counting. It's tracking quite well on rottentomatoes.com too. It will do well guys relax.

I actually cleared this up in another thread, but I can't find it. The time travel actually did not delete Godzilla 1984 and Godzilla vs. Biollante. The movie is soley about the Heisei Godzilla's origin. Not the original monster. The fact is the Futurians ARE the ones responsible for the Heisei Godzilla's birth. The timeline for the Heisei series is as follows:

1944 - The Futurians go back in time from 1992 and transport the Godzillasaurus from Lagos Island to a Pacific Ocean trench.

1954 - Bikini Atoll tests awaken the first Godzilla who rampages Japan and is later killed by the Oxygen Destroyer. The Oxygen Destroyer begins mutating pre-cambrian lifeforms.

mid-1970s - A Russian nuclear sub sinks into the Pacific Ocean trench, mutating the Godzillasaurus into the Heisei Godzilla. (As Terasawa discovers from a news clipping in Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah.)

1984 - The Heisei Godzilla makes his first landing on Tokyo and is later dropped in Mt. Mahara.

1989 - Godzilla returns, attacks Japan and fights Biollante. He is then infected with ANEB sending him to sleep on the ocean floor in the Pacific. Biollante's G-cells make their way beyond Earth.

1992 - The Futurians arrive from 2204 to plot a way to hold Japan for ransom. They return from 1944 after leaving the Dorats and take control of King Ghidorah. While they were gone Godzilla moves from where he was sleeping in the Pacific to the ocean trench where he was born. (Making everyone think he disappeared from history.) Godzilla then attacks a nuclear sub and absorbs the modern radioactivity which mutates him 20 meters taller. He fights King Ghidorah, attacks Tokyo and is later dropped in the ocean by Mecha-King Ghidorah from the future.

1993 - Battra and Mothra awaken due to Earth's pleas and Godzilla prompts them to join forces against him. Battra dies in the process and Mothra leaves Earth to deflect an incoming asteroid.

1994 - The UNGCC is formed and the remains of Mecha-King Ghidorah are recovered from the ocean to build Mecha-Godzilla for G-Force. Rodan is found and does battle with Godzilla. Both monsters attack Japan in hopes of finding Baby Godzilla and Mecha-Godzilla is destroyed as a result.

1995 - G-Force builds MOGUERA and the G-cells from Biollante (or Mothra?) have completed a mutation, known as SpaceGodzilla. It arrives on Earth and attacks Japan. Godzilla defeats him and MOGUERA is destroyed in the battle.

1996 - Bass Island explodes causing a massive increase in Godzilla's nuclear heart. Destroyah is formed from the pre-cambrian lifeforms that have been mutating since 1954. Burning Godzilla does battle with Destroyah who is finished off by G-Force. The remaining radiation from Godzilla's meltdown is absorbed by Godzilla Jr.

2100s - Japan becomes the most powerful nation in the world.

2204 - Terrorsits steal a time machine from the EUO to alter Japan's history. One of them returns from 1992 to salvage King Ghidorah's remains and fight Godzilla in the same year. Her mission is a success and she returns to her time with no changes to the timestream.

It all makes sense, really, it's just the writing was so sloppy that it left most audiences confused. The Heisei Godzilla series indicates a closed time loop of sorts. In other words, what has already happened, happened. The Futurians are the whole reason why the Heisei Godzilla was born and they didn't even know it.

A more detailed and thorough explaination of the movie and its time travel mechanics can be found in this article:

GODZILLA VS KING GHIDORAH: Time Travel and the Origins of Godzilla

Unofficial in every way. Not bad if Godzilla were a more dinosaur-like creature rather than a Kaiju.

Kaiju are, after all, Kaiju. They're not dinosaurs, and Godzilla is no exception. It's a nice sculpt, but ultimately it's not Godzilla. Not the one we know anyway.

I think Forbes is full of crap authors of articles which do little to no real research and which are entirely unreliable. I read the article, and there were several false statements and "facts" throughout. Despite being panned by critics and dislikes heavily by Godzilla fans, the 1998 movie was a financial success contrary to the articles claim.

So, ESNKD, where's your source for that information?

As best I can find, and I'm actually pretty good at doing research if I may say so myself, there have been no sources or articles speculating Godzilla at 495 feet. If you're going off of the 150 meter mark which some of Godzilla's past enemies have hit, then that's one thing but it's still a few feet off at 492 feet.

Anyway, as you have no source, evidence, or anything of the kind I'll not take your word to heart and he was never in the Pacific Rim movie if that was what you were saying. Your sentence is a little... incoherent as to exactly what you are trying to say. Are you telling us that Godzilla is "actually" going to be in his own movie in 2014 as we've all known from the beginning? Cause it wouldn't really be a Godzilla movie without Godzilla, know what I mean?

Anyway, make sense next time so that your post actually carries meaning okay. Right now it's an incoherent mess which only really states one thing: that you think Godzilla will make the Jaegers look like little bitches which isn't entirely true since they are not part of the same universe and therefore are incomparable to one another. You can compare heights all you want, but if the Jaegers were thrown into Godzilla lore, they'd be upped in scale for story purposes to make it a more even fight, so your little comment is really meaningless now.

i saw something that stated that godzilla is actually 495ft tall but if hes bigger that would be awesome. a 600ft or taller godzilla how can that be wrong lol
