the 1984 godzilla and the burning godzilla

thanks herro prease@ u made my day from the comment u posted

theyre just feet like anyone notices

ya dude im going with yokoshai on this

i would have to say GMK and FINAL WARS

I dont see this whole thing happening.. And even if they did get the rights to use Clover in the new movie, why has there been nothing even hinting twords him? Nothing in the trailers, nothing in the reveil that came with the toys. And quite honestly, I don't think it would be a good idea at all.

maybe they would show scenes from other movies then they would say how he was a joke and he just came to life.that would make the ppl and soldiers familiar with him. maybe reference gigan or king ghidorah by saying 'whats next, robot chickens and 3 headed dragons? XD but who knows, maybethis godzilla is the son of the 1954 who knows, so it would know how to destroy with class and style 

Hopefully the human perspectives would build up the hype for godzilla and the connection to the audience, but when they finally reveal mgodzilla they're not just gonna be quick glimpses, hopefully there'll be some scrrentime of his in 3rd person perspective as well not merely from the characters

Either way really, I trust the movie will be entertaining--especially with Godzilla's scenes because judging from the original storyboard of the leaked teaser, wherein he bit off the multi-armed monsters throat and then used his atomic breath afterwards, he's gonna be great

Godzilla from final wars for me..but I can with no guilt towards myself admit that the 2000 one rocks

maybe they show scenes of all the movies from toho so then he comes to be for real, and all the people and even soldiers feel familiar with the monster only till they notice its him, and that the radiation actually mutated a reptile to bring godzilla to life

well if they are like that in the movie ill be bothered but it wont stop me from enjoying the movie

You mean the ones from the concept models or from the leaked toy model with godzilla's separated body parts which some of us have assumed to be official?

Yeah, fanart, but nonetheless awesome, as you say...so I concede with that fact

its cool, but sorry, thats not it, its fan art thats been around forever.

kiryugoji (godzilla 2002)

I'd be pretty disappointed if the Cloverfield monster appeared in this move. I know it won't ever happen and thank god for that

Either Godzilla 2000, or The 1 from Final Wars

hey if u look at the body of godzilla than u see a part at the top where you come in

@ Mikezilla15, it's good to see younger fans of Godzilla. Don't worry about what other people say, if you have an opinion on something, feel free to post it. It's OK to debate and people will learn to respect your opinion whether it makes sense to them or not. Regardless, seeing younger fans brings a smile to my face.

I couldn't agree more. :) Godzilla 2000 is one of the best Godzillas out there!

HE IS NOT IN THE FILM

HELL NO!!

yes godzilla 2000

10 Questions with Mike Schlesinger

Q2. You’re a long-time Godzilla fan. Tell us about your involvement in Godzilla 2000.

Well, that’s not a short story, but I’ll try to make it so. Sony’s distribution chief Jeff Blake (whom I largely owe my career to) happened to be in Japan when G2K opened and was breaking records. Since the Emmerich version didn’t turn out to be the most-beloved film of its generation, the studio was unsure of how to proceed. Jeff felt that releasing G2K here would be at least a place-keeper and at best a make-good to the fans who felt let down by the Emmerich.

We had a screening, and there was considerable concern: the pace was slack and the dubbing was pretty dire. Jeff was having second thoughts. I assured him that with some judicious editing and a new dub it’d be right as rain. He said, “Okay, then you do it.” And just like that it was in my lap. He figured, I hope correctly, that I was the only one there who’d actually seen some Godzilla movies and would have the right handle on it. So with a release date breathing down our necks, I dove right in.

Jimmy Honore, then Sony’s post-production czar, provided me with an editor and a sound man. Toho’s local guy, Masaharu Ina, was also involved, as every single change had to be approved by Tokyo. I wrote a new script, hired a swell bunch of Asian-American actors to reloop, and worked with the editor to sweat nine minutes of fat out of the film (over 130 individual cuts) and restructuring scenes to increase the tension. We rebuilt the soundtrack from scratch, adding some new music cues (including a couple of classic Ifukube themes) and creating foley for scenes that had been played in total background silence. I even did directional dialogue in some scenes. The sound guys were brilliant and completely supportive, and very complimentary whenever I came up with a suggestion that worked. Happily, Toho (albeit a bit grudgingly at first) admitted that our version was a big improvement; so much so that they even re-released it subtitled in Tokyo, as well as a few other countries, like India. The reviews here were mostly positive (if sometimes patronizing). It made money. And best of all, I got a six-week crash course in post-production that has served me very well. Even I was surprised at how quickly I picked it up. And I have the unique honor of being the first person to put a line of Yiddish in a Godzilla movie.

Q5. There’s a legend in the film world about your long-lost Godzilla script, which was almost shot by Joe Dante. Please, relate the whole story, down to why it didn’t get made. Is there any hope for it now?

Legend? Seriously? Wow. Anyway, it’s doubtful it’ll ever get made, what with the new Warners version coming out next year. It started, as so much of my life does, with a joke. I ran into my friend Jon Davison one day; he was at Sony producing The Sixth Day. I told him about what Toho was doing with my version of G2K (as related above), and he said, “Yeah, you’re really Mr. Godzilla now.” I laughed, “Yeah, and if these guys were smart, they’d get you, me and Joe to do the next American one.” He said, “Hey, we’re there.” Later in the day, I was pondering this and thought, “Well, why not? Who better to save the franchise?” So I called them both and asked if they were interested. They were, so I went in to the Columbia production head and pitched the idea of a “Wrath of Khan”-like sequel: a modestly-budgeted, man-in-suit picture, using Toho’s effects people, but set in America with English-speaking actors. I said we could do it for $20 million. He was intrigued, but said he really couldn’t authorize it. However, if I wanted to write it on spec, they would certainly consider it if it came out as good as I said it would. That was fine by me.

So I went home and got to work. I set it in Hawaii for various reasons, among them that I’d need no tortured explanation of how Godzilla got there, not to mention the unlikelihood of any actor turning down a feature being shot in Hawaii. (My suggested tagline: “Say aloha to your vacation plans.”) I decided to follow the Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein Rule–make the human scenes funny and play the monster stuff straight. I wrote it with genre favorites in mind for the cast: Bruce Campbell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Scott Bakula, Christopher Lee, Leonard Nimoy and of course Joe’s stock company. After jokingly giving it the temporary title of Godzilla—East of Java, I settled on Godzilla Reborn, which referred to not only the franchise but also the storyline, in which he’s killed and eventually resuscitated. Sid Ganis eventually came on board as a producer as well. Everybody adored the script. It shoulda been a no-brainer.

Unfortunately, by the time I finished it, Columbia had a new production head, and he wanted no part of it. Wouldn’t even read it. It takes balls to say that to Sid Ganis, who’s a former Academy president, but he did. And there ya go. Now everyone’s too old for their parts and Warners has the franchise. A damn shame; it would’ve been a monster hit. Pun intended.

i hope not, if its like cloverfield when you see him hear and there, then this movie will not be up to the standards. i hope we will see godzilla at least 50 minutes in the movie or is it to much. godzilla will get his fights against muto, witch might be 3 minutes per battle.

i actually think kyero was being very respectful, and everything he said was true. sorry

the first time i heard about this movie, that was the theory i had. i thoght the cloverfield monster was going to fight godzilla in the movie and also thought the muto were the cloverfield monster.

to me x-plus is the shit. i was going to get godzilla 1954, but i had no where to put him, so i didnt get him :( and i think godzilla will win. i was going to start my godzilla collection but at this time i cant.

you might be right dragonlord tevin and yes kaijudino this a good theory, that might be the plot of the movie

this is a badass song. are you going to make a 60 years tribute to godzilla with this song?

Something im scared of is the mutos. I dont want them to feel forced in the movi just for the sake ofhaving another enemy. They must have really good origins that are new and original. Simply put,i dont them feeling forced inside the movie

You know, the plot of this movie does say something about human's arrogance of creating creatures so you might have somethin correct right there

kyero@ maybe iv gone a little to far of what i said i just didnt like what u said by insulting me im just a kid i dont know a lot of stuff.

of course i must say it would be enjoyable to watch godzilla tear cloverfield in half or vaporize him, or, well you get the idea

thank you

GODZILLA HIMSELF is right. There wasn't even any film yet. Hell, there wasn't even any actors chosen yet. They were still creating the script. 

Put in ever monstar ever, naturally, and put in Godzilla Dreamcast Generations style destruction, with Next Gen graphics and next gen gameplay.

I would have a Turbo-Super-Mecha-King-Sex-Edition 'gasm if that were to befall unto the video industry. 

dude, calm down, that trailer was from 2012 comic con, the movie is obviously in post production now but it sure as heck wasn't back then. when that trailer came out the movie had not filmed anything at all yet. and sure is wasn't cheap, but they do have a lot of moeny to work with and sometimes little mood pieces like that get created.

Titanosaurus, MechaGodzilla 1, and that tank Biollante.

And not to mention what you just said made no sense at all. Why would they spend so much money creating something to not even put it in the film. The trailer was well produced. That shit isn't cheap and production companies don't throw around money like that.
