@GMAN2887 - Finally, someone who makes sense and has intelligent discussion capabilities! Thank you!
Anyway, my main point was that being exposed to a nuclear blast doesn't make you a nuclear bomb. I wasn't messing with the concept of creating a monster out of anything that's within range, as everyone knows how silly that is.
Still, saying that Godzilla's breath should be as powerful as a nuclear bomb is nonsensical and a rather stupid argument. That was what I was getting at.
Damaged Godzilla!?! Ooh, this could mean a lot. Awesome! Can't wait till they give pictures.
35 bucks better be worth it
it could happen, you will never known and that will be epic
i didnt also hear it like mattzilla115. maybe i should go back and see the trailer again
Dude! thats awesome! From what i gather, MUTO sounds a bit like destroyah. Just sayin.
Is it bad i want to pre order them?
nah.. Im sure secretly we all want these..
Godzilla will be attacking Hawaii and San Francisco. Those are the two main points of the destruction., at least from what we know.
yes i agree svanya i think this will be world wide
there well done
That's the thing though. I am not sure he isn't in Japan in this movie, the 2014 one. Because I remember back when Pacific Rim was getting released Del Toro said during the making of he and the director of Godzilla had to discuss which cities would be destroyed in each movie so they didn't do the same things. Basically my point is, I do not think the new Godzilla is 100% set in just the USA.
I'm on the fence. It could certainly be sound effects but considering the love and respect they're giving this film don't be surprised if they throw a lot of winks to us hardcore fans. We're probably going to see twin japanese girls somewhere to honor mothra, a variation of the ifukube score and probably talk about a golden dragon
I think they're going for too much of a realistic aproach to construct giant robots which is why I'm thoroughly against G vs Pacific Rim. That movie was an alright time but the two worlds just are tonal opposites. In this universe we'd be more likely to see creatures like biollante which wouldn't break my heart at all. Also even though I completely don't believe the rumors about Hedorah in this for simple reasons as Toho hasn't given the rights to any other creatures , if reimagined he could be amazing. Think of a constantly shifting form rather than a solid creature and take away the eye beams. Basically Godzilla vs. the blob.
@Kyero
As much as I agree with you, you have to admit Toho clearly doesn't understand how nuclear bombs work anymore either. They proved such ineptness by writing increasingly stupid characters that think anything that gets hit by an atomic bomb automatically transforms into a giant beast. (Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah)
So on the one hand, Valkorin's playing on Toho's Heisei playing field. On the other hand, Toho's not in charge of this film.
The problem here is that Godzilla is not a nuclear bomb, he's a product of the nuclear bomb.
Something that you clearly didn't understand when writing this thread for everyone is that something that gets hit by a nuke doesn't turn into a nuke itself. Godzilla's thermonuclear breath is nothing more than a concentrated stream of radiation. It's power is not going to be anywhere near as destructive as that of a nuclear bomb.
Godzilla is a kaiju created from the atomic bomb. He himself is not an atomic bomb. He can't cause the same devastation in one shot as an atomic bomb.
Watching documentaries on nuclear bombs does not make you an authority on them, and you clearly have no idea what they are truly capable of beyond what you've been told on the screen. Do some real research, graduate with some kind of degree specializing in nuclear energy, and then you can tell us what Godzilla's nuclear breath should be like in real life.
As of now, you're just basing an opinion created by watching a few videos. Not enough to be credible.
Toho monsters will NOT be appearing in this franchise.
A reboot, be definition, ignores ALL previous content and continuity for the purpose of reinventing its characters, storyline, etc,.
Having Dr. Serizawa is already a big deviation and something of a risky move. However, given that he's so closely associated with Godzilla I can see why they'd bring him back even if his character is not the same as it was in the 50's version. No eye patch, no oxygen destroyer, an entirely new version of the character.
Still, Toho monsters are Toho monsters. They are not Legendary monsters. Legendary must acquire rights to EACH monster in the Toho lineup if they want to use them in their movies, and that would get crazy expensive especially if this first movie does well enough.
Another reason it's not going to happen is because Toho is not actually a part of this production. They own Godzilla, they do not own Legendary's story, its human characters, nor any other part of the feature except the monster known as Godzilla. All other Toho monsters should stay with Toho and in their original forms. Bringing them to the screen in CG just to please a few fans that want to see updated versions of them is not something Legendary is going to do, nor should they.
As I said, Toho monsters are Toho monsters. All of them: King Ghidorah, Mothra, Gigan, Anguirus, Destoroyah, Biollante, Spacegodzilla, Mechagodzilla... ALL Toho monsters belong in their original Toho forms and should NOT be used in Legendary's franchise.
This is a new version of Godzilla. A new story. A new universe centered around the creature. Bringing back Toho monsters just because a few fans want to see them would be contrived, irresponsible, and downright lackluster on the part of Legendary. If they can't create and maintain their own version of the creature without falling back on Toho for support, then they don't deserve to make the franchise in the first place.
No other Toho monsters besides Godzilla himself belong in Legendary's new franchise.
Ok i know there wont be any other toho monster but thats def. anguirus's roar! could be that they mixed his rorar to the new godzilla one
In short: No.
This is a reboot, not a remake. They are two very different things.
In a reboot, ALL previous content is ignored for the purpose of beginning a new franchise. Bringing back Dr. Serizawa alone is something of a risky and bold move on the part of Legendary as it breaks pattern for what it means to create a reboot. However, having the good doctor back for the sake of nostalgia is acceptable, though he is not going to be the same as he was before obviously. There won't be an oxygen destroyer this time around, nor does he have his eye patch (for all those Serizawa buffs out there).
Bringing back Toho monsters (even mechanical ones) is not something Legendary should do, nor is it likely that it will happen at all. Acquiring the rights to all of the different creatures is crazy expensive and not worth doing. We all love Toho monsters, but bringing them to the big screen in an AMERICAN franchise run by Legendary Pictures is not something that should happen. They are Toho monsters, and they are meant to be used by Toho. They are on board the project to make sure it goes well and that Legendary doesn't stray from Godzilla's design. They are not actually in charge of what happens, nor are they actually technically affiliated with the Legendary franchise outside of owning the original Godzilla character.
Toho has no input on what Legendary's story is, the human characters, nor anything else involved save for Godzilla himself. Toho is not going to give Legendary their monsetrs just to please a few fans that want to see them on the big screen in CG as opposed to a 1960's or 70's suit. Contrary to popular belief, big name companies do NOT always appease the fans, nor do they even pay attention to them most of the time. They pay more attention to professional criticism and total income than they do fan reaction.
Your idea might be interesting for a fan comic, if you'd care to write it on a public online fan fiction writing website, but as far as being a possibility for a movie produced by Legendary, not happening.
@GODZILLA7007 very nice choice when he died :(
godzilla but mostly because i assume he would throw smaug in the air like kaiser ghidorah and super heat ray him and boom. then he kills the goblin and orcs but then he go back to the ocean
Requiem Godzilla's death ( godzilla vs. destroyah 1995) I get emotional over this song and movie. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yIjxGTeW5AA&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DyIjxGTeW5AA
looked into this myself. Can't help people may be acting on wishful thinking when they've said that, because when you give it a few more listens it becomes clear that it's just a mixture of twisting/grinding metal sounds and the score.
On the subject of the score did anyone else catch near the end of the trailer, more so at the end? The homage to the "BOOM/THUMP" noises in the 1954 original's opening credits? If you you watch the Japanese trailer it's actually featured more! But this may also be, like this Anguirus thing, a bit of wishful thinking?
I can imagine that snarl from Godzilla while we are very close to him, hiding in a building. :D
Oh yeah it's like a snarl of some kind!
The trailer was enough to clue me in to his height. I can't beleive that no one else is going to believe their own eyes. Or people simply don't see it...don't understand.
Some great finds. Love the first one! It conveys so much more of Godzilla's personality than most that I've seen. Maybe this is what Gareth Edwards was talking about when he described seeing Godzilla in CG for the first time?
These all look awesome!
also at 1:34-1:35 when the soldiers are lowering the bomb you can hear a breath or something
I hear what your saying but I think that is just part of the music. It kinda does sound like him but most likely not because they said they dont have any of the other rights but you never know!
I agree with king-of-zombies a soldier game would be cool but I love your idea
First Godzilla film I saw was 1985. We see his vision overlooking a fog covered city and then that security guard comes out, the ground cracks beneath his feet and than we pan up to see my first glimpse of Godzilla. I was hooked for life after that.
Sorry to say that Godzilla would win, now if it was the 1998 Zilla then we might have a different battle. I have heard of, in a book who's story is well before "The Hobbit" of Ancalagon the Black; a mountain sized Dragon! However, I see Smaug as the better dragon for he was smart enough to lay on his hoard for centuries, forming a diamond coat to protect the vulnerable underbelly. However, Ancalagon would have bigger muscles and hotter fire power than Smaug. Now I haven't seen, nor care to, the Desolation of Smaug movie because they got his look all wrong. Here is Tolkien's original Smaug drawing when asked what he looked like
Here is a fan creation, can't remember who, of a baby Smaug I found...
...and here is a fan's (not mine) re-creation of Tolkien's depiction of Smaug (which is what I had hoped the movie version would have, and not a "weak wyvern")
I love the Smaug in the movie, but I have to go Godzilla because his much bigger and more powerful.
hmmmm i keep telling myself he is about twice as big as 85 godzilla which means he could be oer 160 meters
Thnk you ery much "GODZILLA_HIMSELF" sir, i made a chibi goji plush check it out if u want http://thrillerzillaart.deviantart.com/art/Godzilla-2014-chibi-plush-419728276
All put it to you this way Godzilla killed an alien that woke up after 60 million years & with all that advance technology & strategy it had to take Godzillas DNA & conquer the world, Godzilla destroyed Orga the very next day & not a scratch was left on him. And then he went about his buisness, to finish destroying Japan. (Just another day at the office for Godzilla) LOL!!!
Duratok pretty much nailed it. I'm 99.9% positive everything he wrote is the honest-to-God truth.
This will be a full-on, orchestrated score. If anyone's done their homework on the film's composer, Alexandre Desplat, and kept in touch with the tone the filmmakers are going for, you would know this is going to have a fairly brooding, dark score.
Anyone who thinks there's going to be metal music, guitar solos or rock bands belting crap during the credits are kidding themselves. But I'm sure bad youtube videos will be made with that kind of stuff in about 6 or 7 months...
