Hard choice how to end it, in the Toho body of films, the sequel-opening endings tend to be a bit anticlimactic. I'd like an ending that leaves you wanting to see where things go, but it doesn't have to blatantly lay out the future. I think Chris Nolan did a good job with his Batman films of leaving the end exciting and making you want more, but not directly establishing a sequel or where it would go. That's the sort of ending I think this needs, even if Godzilla dies, do so with a sense of, this isn't over. I want this film to get the franchise going again, and not by being so bad Toho starts up again, but that it's so good, both Legendary and Toho want to keep it going and do so, it'd be great to see Godzilla grow as a multi-country franchise and collaborative effort. I don't care who makes them as long as the stories are good, there's continuity and they feel like classic Godzilla movies.

for the record ,the film should be a hard R but I realize that will not happen . maybe a hard R included in the Bluray release is more realistic

Cliffhanger all the way !

The centipede monster soundz good but for the other monster i think it should be justin beiber i would love too see his face get stomped out by godzilla

Even if there are "rules" about the depiction of the American military by Hollywood, I don't think it serves injustice to their abilities to get their asses kicked by a giant, radioactive lizard, it's not like some foreign enemy will see the movie and think, look, we can beat them. I have mixed feelings about killing him off or not. Depending on what Godzilla's origin is, if there's a possibility for another to be created in the wake of this one's death, like they played it with Godzilla Raids Again, then killing him off and leaving room for the threat would do, but you also have to craft the story and dialogue just right. Gojira works because the whole end of the film after his death is contemplation of what created him and a sense of fear that if it happened once, it can happen again. If Godzilla is handled again as a metaphor for something, then there's no loss in killing him off if you construct the story to make his terror extend beyond his life. It's also key to make the means of his death be tragic and challenging. Only one device could take him down in Gojira, and it was a device of such devastating capability that the man who'd created it had to take his own life in sacrifice to keep it from ever existing again. There has to be a price to Godzilla's defeat to make killing him work, otherwise, you have to let him live. I am curious though, if Toho has plans and is there potential for them to take this Godzilla film and start up their films again and build them from this, or would Legendary continue producing them.

Godzilla can't and won't die!

Hi

Can't wait until the big "G" comes stomping at every movie theater!

Just be better than his last movie monsters that movie was very dissapointing it was kinda good but there was barely any monster action and when the monsters did come out they tied there tentacles together and walked away happily ever .Thats not a monster movie if it had a different name then it would have been much better but because it wasnt what i expected at all it sucked too me so please mr.gareth do a good job with this I LIKE CHEESE

Godzilla2000 all said

No, always hated the dieing-G movies. Godzilla shouldn´t die he´s a kind of a god, please not a boring dead monster ending - that´s not Godzilla like! He´s the unbeatable King of Monsters!

-I´d like to see a 50ft Gorilla gets squeezed by Big-G´s finger. -A big Robot is always interesting. -Would like a transforming monster and a seamonster. Big G rules!

Yeah, he should be REALLY TALL! Everything gets bigger, especially skyscrapers, so he has to keep up! I saw all the G-movies, except Revenge of Godzilla and always had a strange feeling if he was shorter than a building. It´s Big G, he´s not there to interact with humans, he´s a walking, atomicbreathing mountain. height should be about 500 meters / ~ 1600ft

I believe that every clear shot of Godzilla should be CGI, only using animatronics and suits for more silhouette type shots. Jurassic Park's dinosaurs hold up, but there is a blatant contrast in the look of the skin of the animatronic dinosaurs and their CGI version, the Rex almost looks smooth in CGI where the animatronic version has a heavy amount of texture. They both look great by themselves but I hate when you watch a movie and can easily spot such differences, it's one thing I hate about classic Godzilla's where puppets or cybots were used because they never matched the suit, often with dramatic differences. There's nothing wrong with CGI, it's come a long way and doesn't have to mean losing the feel of Godzilla, they would just have to animate him to mimic movement of a guy in a suit. My hope in 98 was that they'd take Toho's Godzilla and elevate him to a new level of realism using CGI to create Godzilla and also blend him into the environment more realistically. For me, Toho's only been able to really make Godzilla look like a living creature in the 54, 84 and 89 films, there are some close runners too, but those three work. The 90s Godzillas and especially the millennium series looked more and more like a rubber suit and not skin as the series went on, he just would look so fake. My hope is that G2014 will be a design faithful to the Toho style, but using the latest technologies to give us the most realistic Godzilla movie ever.

Giant insects need a giant fly swat maybe Godzilla could fight another kind of mutant dinosaur, a different species of Godzilla?

I did some more research on the website and found that EVERY movie that hasnt been revealed has a "ruun time" of 45 minutes on the site, heres the link:http://www.hoyts.com.au/movies/coming_soon.aspx

scroll to the bottom on it

They should learn from Jurassic Park, it was made in the 1990s and they used a mix between practical and computer generated effects and the creatures still look mind blowing after 20+ years, they should use a mixture of rubber suits, animatronics and CG for Godzilla.

I uhh...Said "Zilla" because I got tired of typing "Godzilla". Sorry people, (or single person) who was offended.

Doing a suit over CG may not be a bad thing. Practical effects just LOOK better. They don't get dated like CGI does, and you get better performances from the actors. CGI should be used to enhance an effect, but whenever a filmmaker uses it as a primary effect, it loses some of it's reality, and just becomes a crutch. New Star Wars vs. Classics Star Wars is a great case in point. The remake of "The Thing" (John Carpenter's 1982 Masterpiece) vs. the "prequel." However, CGI can really give an audience a "WOW" shot that just cannot be achieved with practical effects. I think if studios went back to optical effects, and just used CGI accordingly, we could get some very amazing, lifelike effects. Sadly, that's not the way things are moving. CGI has pretty much taken over.

No. As the poster noted this was an old concept for an American Tri-Star Godzilla. While it would have been a better concept than the Devlin/Emmerick film, it's still not Godzilla. If you're going to be that drastic to change everything about an icon so much that the only thing that's recognizable is the namesake, why upset all the fans who made the IP a success and just come up with your own IP? With that I think I just won an award for the longest run on sentence on the boards. :-) Bottom line on this concept, it's cool. But it's NOT Godzilla.

The plot seemed great but i don't want to see anything that envolves a budget cut unless the option was to go with a godzilla suit instead of cgi.

"Zilla 2014"? Didn't you meant to say "Godzilla 2014"?

Interesting! Thanks for posting this!

It'll probably be the sequel to Pacific Rim. The water's dried up and you the glowing fault line. Hint,hint!

I wanted to see Robert Downey Jr., Michael Fassbender, or Johnny Depp, either of those 3, as Steve Martin, who won't be in the film.

He shouldn't, and if he does, end the movie or have an After-Credits Scene where he is shown to still be alive, like the ending in [i]Godzilla VS King Ghidorah[/i]. Honestly a better ending would be Godzilla retreating to the ocean, with the humans accepting that he is not an enemy but a Force of Nature, a misunderstood creature.

Rumor FALSE!

My absolute most favorite Godzilla design ever is the 1984 suit. I love how evil he looks with the eyes going up into his head and the way the spikes were done, the face just looks very evil and I just feel like for who Godzilla's meant to be, the whole suit really captures it. The suit only though, the Cybot Godzilla looks bad. Behind that, the original 1954 and the 1989 suits are my favorites for very similar reasons, and I also love the 1965 suit.

My favorite has always been Manda. It looks beautiful in Final Wars and has a very cool scene in Destroy All Monsters. I didn't get to see Atragon until after I got married, so I was thrilled I had a "Manda movie" I never saw yet. [url=http://kaiju.boomcoach.com/gallery/manda.html]Manda[/url]

All of the versions have their plus and minuses, I can't tell. Gigan always was a horrid threat, in my opinion, because it seems like a kaiju designed specifically to kill other kaiju. It's a walking circular saw with grappling hooks all over it. I shudder to think if they ever did an R rated Godzilla vs Gigan movie. But the monster itself looks better in Final Wars, however the designers forgot to make sure it looks like a monster and not a big human in a space suit. The problems I've always had with Gigan were things like the head isn't very monstrous, it looks more like a bird...and there's no believable way this kaiju flies, the wings are too much like fins. Not to mention that the hooks on its hands, and the dual chainsaws, were ridiculously too big and clumsy.

I always wanted to design a Mothra arcade game... You are the Mothra larvae and the game plays out a lot like a cross between dig dug and centipede...you crawl around on the jungle island killing kamacuras and meganula and other small kaiju creatures to get points, awards, and the occasional egg after so many points for an extra life. At the end of the level, Mothra metamorphoses into an adult and flies off to the next level. Before Mothra makes it to the next level, it has to fly through a horizontal corridor, like Vanguard, while dodging hazards and picking up items. The next level of the game has the larvae going through the rural countryside...the third, an urban area, like Kyoto or something...

maybe it did not mean the movie is going to be 45 mins but that that how much they have made so far

Thanks for this, I'll make a news post about it now!

Highly unlikely. Perhaps they meant to say 1 HR and 45 MINS ? Or better yet, 2 HRS and 45 MINS? It wouldn't be a feature-length film if it was under an hour. Not to mention, they haven't finished filming yet, so I doubt we'll get these details until post-production is completed and film is given a rating. (Run times generally accompany the official rating for a film)

Mabye Godzilla was mutated by the atom bombs dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki in 1945?

Godzilla and Cloverfield (Godzilla would squash that bug/ bat/ piranha/ rattlesnake looking thing)

They should make a whole new series, then take a break and make another. Like they have been doing for the past 59 years!

Space Godzilla vs Biolante.
