My FAVORITE is Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster. I don't think it's the best Godzilla film (though I do think it's up there) but it was the very first one I ever saw. Rented it from the library and was hooked on Godzilla ever since

I think it would be a tie to be honest, the original film was limited in SFX abilities so I think Hedorah wasn't portrayed as well as he could today. He's made of sludge, the only way to defeat him was to dry him up. I don't think Destroyer could accomplish that and Hedorah doesn't have the physical power or weapson to kill him.

1. Godzilla vs. Megalon... I mean Jet Jaguar? Just aweful

2. Godzilla's Revenge... a lil kid dreams about Godzilla doughboy son, turrible

3. Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla... not that terrible if it were from the 70s but being it in the middle of the 90s with some very good Heisei films and the start of the Gamera trilogy, just horrible. MOGERA... c'mon. Were they tryna one up Jet Jaguar with that design

thanks everyone!

the marvel comics godzilla was 150 meters, if what gareth says is true, then Godzilla will have to be bigger than that, maybe pushing 600 feet. the tallest that i would expect him to be would be 185 meters, a good 20% taller than marvels godzilla.

id rather have a white beam. if its blue id be perfectly fine with that. id also like a green one but i doubt thats going to happen lol

At first glance, I thought it might be a funnel cloud dropping down from a cumulonimbus cloud anvil. Here in the SF Bay Area, we get maybe one to three t-storm events, nothing like the one visualized in the trailer. And certainly we don't get supercells! This looks like a mixture of extreme weather and extreme destruction roiling together in a maelstrom of death. Can't wait!

As a recording arts major, I think the trailer you made is actually pretty cool.

Good pacing, good cuts from one scene to the next, and a pretty good sense of timing with Godzilla's first roar and the downbeat of the original piece you did.

Well done!

While we're on this subject, would everyone be ok if they pulled the original score from 1954 to showcase Godzilla?

It's more of a remix of the trailer. Not bad, but I really hate the music at the end. Competely destroys the mood. Why do so many people think Godzilla needs rock or heavy metal music? It's clearly not working.

In my opinion godzilla should have 2 different ways to do his breath:
1. the 1954 gas one in white which is ore like a acid breath that melts down eerything
2. the blue classic on which is the powerfull one to blast everything away.

That's actually pretty badass. I like how you re-editted the first few cutscenes. Works well!

i was looking back at the old description of the movie that says the mutos will be bolstered by mankinds scientific arrogance. bolster means to strengthen or support, hmmmmm...

KYERO I,m not saying that destroyah will for sure be in the movie, i am just stating a possability that at least ONE of the creatures may at least be based off him, im sure there will be a great variety to these muto things. also, considering that this is a reboot, i would never expect him to have the exact same ogigins. basically heres what i think. 50% there wil be absolutely nothing even close to destroyah, 30% that there will be something at least reminscant or similar to destroyah, 15% something will be actually based on him, and 5% that he would actually be included in the movie. as far as king ghidorah goes, its an awesome kaiju, one of the best, but i doubt any three headed dragons will be presnt, at least not for the first film, and the same could be said of destroyah, or really any other toho kaiju. also, monster X/0 could be what they initally call Godzilla in this move. you are right of course, that we are all assuming too much. for now all we can really do is specualte. if one of these kaiju is in it, great! if both inspire something, even better! but well just have to wait and see. btw, i admire your logic, i didn't thinck using the japanese version of destroyah,destoroyah, would make a difference, plus you make excellent arguments!

Will probably start showing glimpses of Godzilla and Muto.

After watching the trailer 30+ times I can say for shure that the creature attacking the train has the ability to unhinge it's jaws and seperate them into four seperate piece's like an elite from the Halo games. But it seems that when it closes it's mouth it looks like a normal(I use the term loosly)mouth.

good job

i don't thinck that it will have anything to do with fukushima, its a very sensative issue. of course  i do thinck godzilla could cause even more damage than a tsunami, if he is using his atomic ray and nuclear pulse he may even do it faster(depending on the strength of these two weapons).

But -- what is that in the back of the train - after it's been ripped off? You can see the metal of the train peeled back and something dark grey in the space where the back of the train was. 

If Destroyah is going to happen as a sequal, I think it would be great to bring ALL mutation freak into battle, like Biollante, Angurius, Titanosaurus, Megaguirus, Kumonga, Kamacuras, Hedorah, King Caesar, Krystalak, Bagan, Obsidius, Zilla, Manda, and Gezorah.

This would bring a good point of these creatures's origin that was created by an accident through a lab attack.

Very true. I agree. This is a reboot for Dr. Serizawa. I prefer him to get injured by some lab attack from M.U.T.O. by creating some monster freak by an accident. It would be great to show how he got the eye patch in order to explain his origin. 

the music was one HELL EPICAL MUSIC! IT ROCKS!

Working on my front page write-up now folks, I'll be using a lot of your theories so watch for your mention in the article! Thanks for everyone who contributed to this topic.

LOOOOOOVE IT!

I'm not sure what you guys think you're seeing, but you have to remember something: If a nuke is used, there will be nothing of the city left standing.

Nothing.

Those buildings in the background? Gone. The bridge? Gone. The surrounding area? Gone. If they do use a nuke, it's going to cause much more wide spread devastation than what is depicted in that photo.

@GORILLAWHALE  It's not that I don't appreciate there effort in showing the trailer we have now. this blog is what's Fan idea for next trailer release.

@STOKAMOTO - You pretty much killed your own argument with the phrase "It appears close to his head but it is actually much farther away." That fact alone means that the soldiers are still going to see him no matter how far they fall. Even if Godzilla was only 200 feet tall, they would see him for a good long time before opening their chutes because their field of vision is so extensive at range as opposed to up close.

Also, if you didn't know already, HALO Jump means High Altitude Low Opening. Their chutes are deployed at low altitude which can be anything below 1000 feet easily because it's meant for stealthy infiltration. The flares on their feet serve to help them keep track of one another since there is no need to be stealthy around a Kaiju.

Also, the skyscraper they're passing in the final moments of that section of the trailer is unknown in height, but is clearly much taller than Godzilla himself.

You have blown things out of proportion with misidentification and a lack of understanding about proper physics and scale.

If you pause the trailer when the last real lightning flash occurs and lights up the surrounding area, Godzilla is walking towards a building that appears no higher than about 30-35 stories. He's clearly larger than it, but by no more than about 60-80 feet. If anything Godzilla is in the mid to late 400 foot range in and around 440-480 feet.

There is no way, even taking into account that he's the "tallest Godzilla to date" that he'll ever hit 1000 feet. Edwards is a fan and he's enthusiastic about Godzilla, but this movie is going for realism which means that Godzilla's size has to be massive, but modest. Breaking 500 feet would be pushing it, let alone 1000.

1000 feet is not going to happen. That much, I can guarantee you.

But wow, great poster! Love it! Welcome to the forums too by the way! Hope to see more artwork like this from you in the future. :)

Dude... easy on the ENTER key! Only submit one post at a time! Haha

Looks very nice haha reminds me a bit of jaws , im new here check out my fanmade godzilla stuff if u want ^^ http://thrillerzillaart.deviantart.com/gallery/44445541

omg sryy xD

@CODIEC - You seem to have missed something important.

Destoroyah was based on a non-existent life form and created entirely for what was initially going to be Godzilla's final bow. It was a life form based on a crustacean, but not one that actually ever existed. Destoroyah is an entirely fantasy based creature, and this new gritty and realistic take has no room for such open use of fantasy outside of suspending our disbelief that Kaiju could even exist.

Another thing is that there is nothing that points to Destoroyah being in this film. Absolutely nothing. There is no oxygen destroyer. There is no strange microscopic crustacean that we yet know of. There is no reason to believe that all of the M.U.T.O creatures are based on insects or crustaceans. How about a bird? How about another lizard? How about a mammal? We know absolutely nothing about the M.U.T.O's other than one being multi-limbed and one having wings. That is not enough to say with any kind of certainty that they HAVE TO be insects or crustaceans.

All of your "evidence" pointing to Destoroyah is entirely circumstantial and coincidental. Taking such loose evidence as fact is the sign of a fool, and I don't think you're a fool. Over analyzing things and jumping to conclusions? Yes. But not a fool.

@"GODZILLA HIMSELF" - Also, Destoroyah gives the "cannot confirm or deny the existence of this life form." EVERY monster provides that exact same response save for King Monster Zero and Monster X which provide something akin to "this natural phenomenon is heading your way." If anything, There is something akin to or at least remeniscent of one of those two incarnations of Ghidorah that will appear in the movie.

Destoroyah is obviously not going to appear, nor will any of the M.U.T.O's likely be based off of it.

Fan made. Film scores are typically not recorded this early and they certainly aren't finished and ready for release this early. We won't hear anything from the movie's soundtrack until May. I would assume everything leaked until then is fake.

@KEVIN_C_VANG - Legendary and Edwards have both made it abundantly clear that there will be NO Toho monsters appearing in this new franchise. This is America's Godzilla, not Japan's. Toho is helping produce it and make sure it's Godzilla, but otherwise this is not their movie nor their franchise. Megalon, like all toho Kaiju outside of Godzilla himself, do not belong in this franchise even if there is a Pacific Rim crossover which I am certain won't happen.

For the same reasons stated by the author of this thread, I do not believe there should be a crossover. Godzilla is his own creature with his own sense of mystery and mythology. Throwing in Jaegers and alien Kaiju from beneath the sea would just be contrived and irresponsible on the part of Legendary. Pacific Rim did decently well for a summer blockbuster, but it was not really anything more than a visually pleasing brawl or bar fight.

Godzilla is going to be an epic new franchise with its own universe and its own vibe. Pacific Rim crossing over with it would ruin that vibe.

^Not to mention Ogata said Serizawa lost his eye during World War II-- Exactly what war has Japan been fighting recently or in the last 50 years?

@VINYLJOHNNY - That thread where they compare him to a building and say he's over 700' tall is entirely inaccurate and unreliable. Godzilla will not be that tall. I can guarantee it.

The problem with this whole "eyepatch" thing is that it was a trait given to the original character.

This is a reboot people, not a remake.

They are two very different things and this is a different Serizawa than the one we know from the 1954 film. There is no eyepatch because it's not the same character. The only two traits they share are coming from Japanese ancestry, and they share the same name. That's it. Those are the only two traits they have in common, and that's the way it should be.

There is no reason to give him an eyepatch just because the original had one.

Wrong on several points.

The original Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla arrived in 1974, and Mecha-G was created by spacemen. He was also created by spacemen in the sequel, Terror of Mechagodzilla. In the 1992 film Godzilla vs Machagodzilla II, Mecha-G was actually created by the futurian technology. While it's true that Japanese scientists and engineers put the mech together, it would not have been possible without the metal acquired from Mecha King Ghidorah.

Mechagodzilla is only purely Japanese made in Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla and in Tokyo S.O.S.

Every other time Mecha-G has been the product of technology beyond the means of Japanese science and engineering.

Also, there is no point in making Mechagodzilla in this new franchise. Making a giant mech based off of a Kaiju has no redeemable qualities. Not only that, but there is no logic behind constructing a mechanical Kaiju. Why create a mechanical Kaiju at all? The only reason would be because it looks cool, and that is not enough to give it justification to exist.

Besides, there is currently no cross-over taking place (nor even planned) between the two franchises.

I know how much everyone loves Mecha-G, but you really need to let this go. Edwards and Legendary have made it very clear that there are not going to be any returning Toho monsters in their franchise. Mecha-G was an interesting design, but it belongs in Toho's history, not America's future.
