Where exactly did you get this? Cuz if you snagged it off of Deviantart I'm positive we don't even need to discuss any sort of legitimacy whatsoever.
I dont think this is legit.
But i have just been at deviantART, so its from there. And it does look fraking awesome! If it is legit though...
Whats with the lightning? Its like the package for the small brown figure, there also quite a bit of lightning.
Fantasy movies like never get those Oscar nominations, only nonfake realistic movies, so no Oscar for Godzilla, but will definitelly get like best special effects
Dont mistaken this by a bunch of smoke
Well that didn't happen... As a side note that Transformers trailer looked boss!!! Optimus riding T-Rex Grimlock ftw!!!!!
I'm going to go with my favorite in this fight, Godzilla 1984, not only for the fact that he towers over '54, but that he's meaner and his atomic ray is a lot more potent.
Listen, I'm not trying to sound stupid here. The original Gojira was a monster movie, yes, but it was supposed to be more symbolic and stand for the atomic bomb and the destruction we inflict upon ourselves. I'm not saying, "Oh yeah, a monster movie could totally be nominated just becuase I like Godzilla!" If Gareth Edwards stands true to his word about this film being grounded in reality and making Godzilla a force of nature again, it might actually have a shot. I'm not stating anything in stone or that I think it will get nominated for sure, but with the A-list cast, visual effects specialists and Edwards at the helm, it seems that it could stand a chance. Of course we'll have to see the movie first, but from what we know so far, it looks promising in my opinion.
Doggiezilla,
...
...nevermind.
Godzilla will win for best movie ever made.
PFFFFT Who needs kiju? I'M SMAUG
Man I don't think it will win anything, but its sequel will!
So will with the Avengers vs Justice League movie.
C'mon guys, that is how rediculous you sound. I don't wanna be mean-- but its way to early to make any estimation like this.
I think it's far too early to speculate any of this, but at most Godzilla might get some technical nods: Visual effects, sound effects, sound editing... stuff like that. You're kidding yourselves if you think it could possibly be up for anything else. No one will consider this for acting or directing awards-- whether it's true or not.
Akagi,
I think you're putting a little too much stock into actors, teen audiences...etc... I don't necessarily disagree with you, but name recognition and good looking actors only go so far. Iron Man came out during the height of the superhero boom with a strong ad campaign, Robert Downey Jr.'s suave power and word of mouth for a great movie. Transformers, granted, had Megan Fox. But Michael Bay's name was recognized before Transformers and his name was used to sell the movie. Fox's was not. Thor had Chris Hemsworth, but he was an unknown at the time. Thor was riding on the success of other successful Marvel movies: Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Hulk...etc... People had caught on that these movies were connected by then.
Word of mouth does a great deal for movies and sometimes a good movie is enough to sell itself. Not always, granted, but it still happens. I don't doubt star power has a lot to do with some movies' success, but some of the examples you're using are a bit of a stretch.
@akagi, do you like to just steorotype young females? Or just generalize everyone? Because there are plenty of movies with attractive casts that didn't do well (LONE RANGER, JOHN CARTER). Yes, cast is important, but it's more than just attraction. Also, FYI, King Kong made $500 million worldwide. Not amazing, but still impressive.
As for if it will put Superhero movies to sleep? Probably not. But it does seem like dinosaurs and monsters are getting popular again. Transformers 4 features dinobots, Jurassic World is coming out next year, and if a new Pacific Rim gets green lit we might well be in for a renewal, or better well put a "renaissance" of Kaiju film. Maybe that Will Smith Ultraman film will happen.
@GODZILLAFAN1995
I'm not sure if you understand how the theatrical market works, but Godzilla fans probably make up a small, maybe 1.2 percent of movie goers/ticket sales-- for a film to do well, it needs to appeal to a massive audience. If you had told me fifteen years ago that Bayformers would have made as much money as it has, I would have laughed at you.
But in the end Shia put young girls asses in seats and Megan Fox put teen boy asses in seats. Before Bayformers, people made fun of transformers, no one knew about it or even cared, now everyone acts like they've always been fans.
Look at King Kong, it had a great team behind it, Peter Jackson's name attached to it, but it didn't have the RIGHT star power. King Kong did so bad in the theaters, I don't think it even made as much money as the Pokemon movie.
No matter how GOOD the Godzilla film is, it won't do well without appeal to the CORE movie going demographic-- which are teenagers.
Anyone who works at a movie theater would testify to the fact that adults over the age of 21 make up a very small portion fo movie goers. Every time I go to the theater I can say the majority of asses in seats are ages 9-17.
So yes, I do think the cast has a lot to do with how well a film does, ask any producer-- they'll tell you that big budget films will always have popular actors in them to guarantee patronage.
Teen girls wouldn't have flocked to Ironman if it was about some fat unknown actor, they wouldn't have flocked to Thor if it wasn't for Chris Hemsworth.
The movie is fine. It's like an improved Heisei movie with stronger character relationships and better special effects.
I don't like the suit. The design itself fine, but the suit is a major step down from the lively Heisei suits. It looks very plastic, has no facial animatronics what-so-ever and it can't even turn its head. The spikes are far too big. They look way out of proportion with the rest of its body. And I hate the green and purple coloring. The color combination is a little too close to Barney for my tastes.
The suit was much improved when the Kiryu movies came out.
Completely out of the realm of possibility; but if it happened, I'd be more than willing to eat my words.
plus it wasnt enough destrucion to be godzilla it is probly srain or what ever that is
@RAY BURRBERRY
I'm doubtful...that had the FOX logo at the bottom right...
It won't dethrone Superhero movies for two simple reasons.
1. Superhero movies are popular when th economy isn't good (and it's in the tank right now).
2. Right now when asked what your ideal date movie is, just under 50% of men say superhero movies while over 70% of women say that superhero movies are their ideal date movies. Going to the movies for date night are a big reason people go to the movies and with groups like the avengers and the justice league just getting started there will be no dethroning anytime soon
That will be cool and I don't known if superhero movies will ever go away. I will love to see a American version of Gamera.
That's pretty cool. Too bad it's just photoshopped.
That would be cool. I think it's fake (reddit man, reddit), but cool nonetheless.
I don't know if anyone caught it because it was so brief but a 5 second spot aired that showed a ground with people running and screaming. Could be for another film like Spiderman but it could be Godzilla.
@ Mikeynamez You got a good point, but why would they make a Godzilla toy for ages 5 and up? Maybe there trying to get every age group.
Oh those are good ones too. The Godzilla 1990's rage is so cool and King Ghidorahs burning forms looks good with him. To me it was hard too chose because there all awesome.
i wouldnt be supprised if it is a supprise trailer, it is possible that legendary and WB could have the trailer unannounced. but most likley not, hopefully we get something on febuary 7th
I dont think so. It would have been announced. But im pretty sure we`re still getting a trailer the 7th. Im sure.
On another note, i tried to watch a live-stream, but i dont live in America, so i cant watch anything. I wanted to see alot of the trailers. Does anyone know when these trailers are released on the internet?.
The first trailer with the epic HALO jump sequence is enough I think. Why do you all need to see (and therefore spoil) more of the movie when simply by being here it's pretty obvious you're already invested in the project. I dunno, a film like this will thrive on the monster seqyences and the big reveals so I'm all for shrouding it in secrecy until its release and just showing the halo jump teaser trailer more frquently towards the release to create hype.
it would be a nice sirprise but most likely not
it could be a big eveal like khan in star trek into darkness. besides do you know how many times film makers have said they werent going to add something and they still did? a lot and i still think its not just going to be insects i want some variety
I am really 9 and the Gogira 2014 trailer did not scare me so young 5 year olds should be intimidated but not afraid
Maybe Kamercuras are named M.U.TO.S
The M.U.T.O. design is is going to be a be a bug (maybe)
The Kamercuras are are bugs and if mutos are too M.U.T.O. is codename for Kamercura
@MIKEYNAMEZ Business wise? It's a smart decision. Boys like movies like this, I know because I was a boy, and I liked movies like this. Destruction, giant creatures, that's enticing to a child. It's all about getting the movie out to a wide audience, and a lot of people are going to see the Lego Movie, I know adults who are going, I know teenagers who are going. Showing the trailer there would be a wise decision, and would reach out to a large majority of people.
In all honesty, I'm really, REALLY tired of superhero movies. However, Godzilla will probably not put the superhero movies to sleep.
