...but a person needs new experiences. They jar something deep inside, allowing him to grow. Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken = Bring on new monsters!

Exactly! I hope more and more people will want to see stuff like this, especially after the new film, assuming it will deliver a relentlessly hopeless tone. Think of it as a big-budget "No Country For Old Men". It's film that makes you feel bad while watching, yet you enjoy the hell out of it... theoretically. 

And if the radiation doesn't poison the Earth, at the very least, make it mutate the ecosystem and spawns smaller kaiju that humans can fight off, but still pose a considerable threat given their greater numbers in comparison to the larger beasts. It'd be cool to see in the sequel, maybe rather than a take on "Monster Island", the threat goes global. Something akin to "World War Z" (except it doesn't suck) and by the third film, the world has been so ravaged and there is officially no forms government left. Just pockets of resistance left similar to "Planet of the Apes" or "The Walking Dead". 

MUCH RESPECT FOR THE KING!

Man oh man. I am LOVING how your opinions! Finally someone that is on the same page as me. I LOVE Godzilla, but mainly, the 54. The other movies is what made Godzilla iconic, yet they moved too far away from what he really is. I hope this movie brings him back to his roots. BTW, your ideas are AMAZING. I would expext that Godzilla would leave lethal emounts of radiation anywhere he goes. To the point that it makes certain areas inhabitable.

Keep in mind that those are descriptions for children's toys.

It doesn't HAVE to be rated R just because its dark. There are MANY movies that are horrific and haunting with violence that aren't rated R. A movie is only rated R becuase of its over use of curse words, sexual content, and gore. 

I honestly have to agree. I LOVE the toho monsters! However, I wanna see new monsters. This Godzilla is going in a serious and realistic senario. This movie is being filmed like a horror/disaster movie. It will be a new way to see Godzilla, yet closely to how he was in 54. Im a fan of Godzilla's enemys just like anyone else, but this isnt Pacific Rim. Bulding giant robots to fight giant monsters is just TOO childish of an idea, and wouldnt fit. We would not do that realisticly. AT ALL. So I couldn't see Mechagodzilla in this. Nor a walking pile of weird smog crap with an eye(Hedorah). And a space cyclops or three headed golden dragon. Those are CLASSIC monster ment for those CLASSIC films. Lets see some new ones for this new Godzilla! But thats just MY opinion(Which means nothing).

Bring the excitement of the movie home and fight for humanity as Godzilla or be the Eight Legged Muto and try to destroy the world. You’re epic battles are sure to crumble the city and bring in the military.

This is a description for one of the toys and I noticed it said fight for humanity does this mean he is like an anti hero where he saves and destroyers. I was under the impression big G was completely a villain but maby not...

The damaged Godzilla really makes me think. How powerful are the Mutos? And by January 2014 do they be out in stores at that time? I want the one that has just the Muto.

I think we should wait to see how this movie, and universe pans out before making claims that no other monster fits in, or demanding old monsters be returned.

Depending how this movie goes I could see either of the arguments having a strong backing

I found giant monsters beating the snot out of eachother very appealing.

^ That would be the glorious Matt Frank here is hid Deviant Art page

I agree this Godzilla movie is way more diffenet from the other ones

@GODZILLA_HIMSELF
             I wasn't exactly suggesting that, though I see the parallels.  A pheonix idea would be very interesting.

i'm 15 but i still wouldn't take little kids to this movie

No way there will be a Rated R movie like come on Rated R the kids wants too see the movie too. so im pretty sure it,s not Rated R.

and also im not a kid im more older then 13

Well let's put it this way; Legendary spent from pre-production to mid-summer on the design of Godzilla himself to get to the design we see in the latest trailer, and after the abomination that was Zilla I reckon they wanna get the titular Kaiju right before even considering tampering with any other fan favorites. If any other classic Toho beasties were to make an appearance at all it wouldn't be 'til a sequel when they see how this movie does.

Dude, Megalon represents Sea Topia. He's a good role model for Pacfic Rim. I mean, it's a perfect example for a crossover...

christmas is almost here

yeah i have to agree i mean everyone loves godzilla but i still would not take kids to that  i mean this movie going to be dark

I don't think it's necessary to create a slew of new monsters in this reboot series, although it'd be nice to see at least one new really good one. Most of the monsters from the past can be easily adapted to be more realistic, especially if they all fall in line with the supposed "living fossil" theory that supposedly Godzilla is. All I ask is that they keep aliens out of it. Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE extraterrestials. Half of my fan-stories I've thought up involve them somehow. But aliens in Godzilla just never felt right to me. It broke the consistency of the monster's origins. I mean, I guess you can explain it, but is it really necessary. It would just make the plot more convoluted than it may already be and could break the pacing entirely. It's like in "X-Men" how they reduced ALL of the super-powered beings origins to mutation. No goddesses or magic gems. It kept it all consistent and helped keep the plot moving. That's not to say that I don't enjoy those things in the comics. But in a movie, you've got two, maybe three hours to tell your story, and only a handful of movies. So, you've got to make some sacrifices for it to be as effective as possible. 

i think it will rated 13 because they have godzilla toys. i dont think they will relese a rated r toy for kids.

if we dont get toho monsters in godzilla 2014, that is just fine. at least we will get new monsters

You can't blame people for their desire to see some classic characters from the Toho universe in the new Legendary series. It's like when we go to the theater to see any superhero film and it's become common for teasers to show up in the end credits. It gets fans excited and talking about the next film. If you're a fan of Spider-Man for instance, you watch for clues that point to who the next villain will be. Just like Spider-Man has his gallery of supporting characters and villains, Godzilla has his. I'm not saying that I agree or disagree with whether other Toho monsters should be in the new series, but I can understand why many fans have a desire to see it happen. And something tells me that if Godzilla 2014 does really well financially and critically, Toho will consider giving permission for the use of other Toho monsters.  

Ok. And I don't wanna just see these monsters destroying major cities to create an apocalyptic tone. As the series goes on, show how they irradiate the wasteland and essentially poison the Earth unintentionally. Show how people get sick and die from the radiation they leave behind and how lands become infertile even long after they have left it. And as the series goes on, more and more monsters just keep appearing, like an endless cycle. Make it out to be like a reverse-Darwinism message. These monsters eventually wipe out humanity, but since they are unnatural mutations, they will eventually die out themselves since there is no way the planet can sustain them. Just make the audience lose all hope. It's sad to say that the only film that ever effectively conveyed a tone of "no hope" was the ending to "Terminator 3". It's time we get a true apocalypse film (series) to do that. And get some awesome kaiju action out of it. 

I'm not sure who created this, but they deserve nothing but praise.

I highly, highly doubt there is any truth to the rating on that website... And what? This is like the 20th thread about this movie's rating? This couldn't have gone in one of those?

I have always thought this is exactly how a movie series like this should end. These giant monster movies shouldn't be about "humanity can find a way" but that humanity has no hope. We should see all the sadness and think, how can this ever end? We shouldn't be sitting in the theater knowing that everything is going to be okay. This should give you an apocalypse feeling. Genius Ideas! This is the Godzilla movie I have been waiting for my whole life.

And no, I don't think this conversation has been done as long as i've been on this site haha.

If it is R, then that concerns me. I don't think Godzilla movies should have an R rating. I don't know what could be in it that would make it R. If there's lots of blood and gore then that just seems off for a Godzilla movie.

Hmm i Guess the Muto,s are really deadly But still Godzilla is not going too weal as Zilla Godzilla is still Inpervious too Weapons even Nukes 

sorry ill delete my post if i can

Can they just use Ligeti's score? Like all of it? And not alter it like that hack Kubrick did? Lux Aeterna and Atmospheres' terrifyingly surreal sound would be wonderfully fitting to the film, I think.

STOP. This is NOT the place for spoilers. This is a thread about upcoming action figures for the movie, not a place for you to dump leaked information from the movie's call sheet. 

I've heard that the info has been floating out there for a while, but some of us have been actively avoiding it.

If y'all want to make a new thread about the call sheet and the spoilers within, then please feel free to do so. Such talk should NOT ninja their way into off topics, however.

I would love to see some of the old Toho monters, but I honestly don't think it is going to happen. It would probably cost them a ton more money to use them, which, like DURATOK said, would be more expenive than it's worth. The only way I think they would use another Toho monster would be to put one in the very last movie (for the fans of course), and make absolutely sure it would work in the universe.

Tolkien fans such as I have been calculating the exact measurements of Smaug since Part 1 released last year; trust me, if we're talking 2014 Godzilla, there'd be no contest. The only thing Smaug has that could help against Godzilla is his cunning and intelligence, but size alone makes it quick loss in his favor. Funny though, I posted about this question on Tumblr the other day and get the same responses, haha.

I definitely agree that the more 'realistic' Toho kaiju like Anguirus and Rodan would fit well into the new Godzilla universe, but securing the rights to such characters would be more expensive than it's worth. Most people don't know or care about Godzilla's pals. Paying the royalties to get them in the film just wouldn't be financially a wise decision.

I don't think that specific sheet mentioned anything that happened after, people don't even know when it takes place in the film. Heck, it could be towards the beginning, they could use it thinking it'll stop him, but they pull a Kingdom of Monsters and it further mutates him, giving him atomic breath. Who knows?

I think it depends on what monsters are used. Mutations that echo the "real creature" scenerio in the 1950s Toho movies might work: Rodan, Varan, Anguirus... But Mecha-Godzilla? Gigan? I don't think so. Even King Ghidorah, as much as I'd love to see him, probably wouldn't mesh well...
