You wanna know how to fit Ghidorah into a sequel? Here is the trick; Just make him a giant three headed dragon from outer space. Why change that? The entire realism thing is annoying me. If this was supposed to be realistic, Godzilla wouldnt be in the movie. Atleast, that depends on what kind of realism youre going for. When you make a kaiju films, there are two forms of realism; Technical realism (Shitzilla 98) and Political realism (Gojira, Godzilla 2014). Whats the difference? Technical realism is about making realistic looking stuff. Everything has too be realistic to a degree, for the creatures origin, the cgi, effects, sounds etc. Political realism comes, not from the monster, but by the people at his feet. Thats what made Gojira epic, the monster doesnt need to be all that realistic, its about how these characters react and what they do. The monster can be as fantastic and far fetched as they please. But there is nothing wrong with technical realism, and there will be a bit of it in Godzilla 2014 from what i can see. You may disagree with me, but thats just how i see it. Og god i made this comment far too long havent i? XD

Nope, not a good idea. Hummanity "all of a sudden" getting the technology and ressources to build a robot made sense in movies like Pacific Rim where so much time went on. Here, it wouldnt go. Besides, id rather see something more interesting like Gabara (Yeah, i said that!" or Baragon.

Working on one right now.

I say go for it.

I say go for it.

THEN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET THOSE POINTS? A prize perhaps? But how would we obtain and keep the prize? Or how about a BIG godzilla party here in this thread? But how would we start the party?

Oh I didn't know that BCRockett, thanks for that slice of info. and i think a megalodon might be a challenge for Godzilla ,because of Megalodon's sheer natural size and rows and rows of ridiculously large and sharp teeth. but if we wanna discuss realistic sea monsters for him to box, why not Godzilla take on something like a giant squid or another sea based Dinosaur like him(or what ever he will be in this one) or have him fight another Godzilla, like fighting for territory or a natrual food source, . that would be some thing to think about.

To clarify, Edwards said he wanted to explore the "Monster Island" concept used in the original Destroy All Monsters movie. He never, at any time nor place, said anything about making a sequel based on Destroy All Monsters as a film or story. The concept of using Monster Island and the concept of basing an entire movie sequel on Destroy All Monsters are two very different things, and it is a topic which has been mistakenly reported and debated for a long time now. So I will say it once more: Edwards never said anything about making a "Destroy All Monsters" sequel. He said he'd like to explore the concept of "Monster Island." Period.

Okay, here are my own ideas for the second monster to face the New American Godzilla: 1: A monster that employs the bio-luminescent lure trick used by real deep sea fish to draw in prey. 2: A monster sized 'Bobbit Worm', aka deep sea predatory worm that (in our real life/know counterpats) are big and tough enough to eat fish! 3: Some kind of parasitic creature (to do damage from the inside to defeat Godzilla). 4: A deep sea version of a megalodon.

In case the trailer doesn\\\'t come out.... well how about a \\\'Godzilla Movie Quiz\\\'? Here\\\'s my idea for it: 1: It would have 29 normal questions, each question is about a movie (the trick is figuring out which movie it is, yes even the 1998 Zilla film). 2: At the end will be a bonus question that could be from any movie(s) so it\\\'s the hardest of all. (So 29 regular questions and 1 Bonus = 30 questions in all) 3: Each normal question is worth 35 points and the bonus 999 points ([29 x 35 = 1,015] 1015 + 999 = 2014, the year of the American Godzilla).

Mecha G needs a break. He's had like, 5 movies dedicated to him? I'd rather see more new monsters. I mean, otherwise it'd be the Millennium series all over again. "HAY YOO LIKED MOTHRA AND MEKKA GUDZILLA RITE? HERE HAVE SOM MORE"

Yep,do just that. I've always liked those sort of "connections."

Wouldn't fit into the realism at all as we wouldn't be able to develop that type of machine unless the sequel went about 20 years into the future. That and mechaGodzilla is an already overused enemy if they bring some1 back from the old series it needs to be a less used foe.

Eh, maybe. I don't think it will happen, but yeah, it might work.

Like five seconds before posting this idea came to mind. It wasn't necessarily serious, just something that I thought about, and figured I might as well just post it here, see if it was even a decent idea.

On what basis do you believe [i]Maleficent[/i] and [i]Oz[/i] may equal or outweigh Godzilla's hype then? Sure not very many people know about it, but you could say the same for the prior mentioned movies. I'd argue that, at present, the buzz surrounding Godzilla is still much larger than those two combined. Take a look: [url=http://www.zennie62blog.com/2013/10/10/godzilla-2014-trailer-leak-pushes-godzilla-2014-search-to-highest-levels-to-date-45525/]This Site[/url] shows how the leaked trailer projected Google search interest in Godzilla. If you do the same research for the Oz flick or [i]Maleficent[/i], they're not even close to the spike Godzilla had earlier this month. Meanwhile if you type in "Maleficent" into the [b]Google News[/b] you'll roughly 3 thousand hits. If you type in "Godzilla 2014," over 5 thousand hits. But most people won't be typing that, they'd simply search "Godzilla" in which you get [u]10 thousand hits[/u]. Keep in mind these aren't webpages, their news outlets covering the films. I agree that they're all on vaguely even ground at the moment, but long term that may not be the case. I've already explained my case for [i]Oz[/i] and [i]Maleficent[/i] on various levels and while I concede that [i]Spider-Man[/i] and [i]X-Men[/i] may be a so-called "threat" the idea that they'll completely topple [i]Godzilla[/i] (especially Spider-Man) is currently unfounded.

Thank you! Really! I don't write stories often but this was fun so it's good to hear good feedback. I'm thinking of posting a few more of other's people that witnessed the same event. I think I want the characters to have all had some form of contact with each other. Like the next one would be the guy who delivered the take out for this character etc...

Its okay, I mean, did you think of this right off the bat or were you thinking about this for a while. Its good for a start.

@BCrockett94 I know it does sound like Final Wars, i am with you on that. Although, the monsters were released off of Monster island and all the kaiju attacked. Godzilla attacked New York City, Rodan attacked Moscow, Mothra lays waste to Beijing, Gorosaurus attacks Paris, and Manda attacks London. I know I should have made the discussion specific, I made this right before I left school! If I make another discussion, I will try to make it better and make sure no one has made the same one already. Sorry for the rush.

and even should Gareth/Legendary produce such a movie they definitely need to make at least 1 or 2 sequels before it just so the series can bring about the appearances of a few more monsters and build up the story to the point of a Destroy All Monsters-esk sequel.

This new Godzilla made by the Legendary is confirmed to be the biggest Godzilla at least up to the 2014 movie. So , how BIG will this Godzilla be in this ? What I can see in that trailer is that this new Godzilla will be at least up to ~ well I\\\'m not really sure , but that looks like this New G \\\'s size will be at least over 1000\\\' . And I have a theory that maybe our New G we saw in the trailer has not yet reached his/her full size or maybe he/she is just a preschool age Godzilla , that means our New G will still grow a lot much much more BIGGER.

I don't really feel Godzilla's hype outweighs that of Maleficent, or the OZ movie. Sure it's big here, but a lot of these fans have been following the movie since it was Godzilla 3d to the MAX. To the average person I doubt they know much about the movie if anything at all. The only real people that know are G fans, and comic con attendants. There's been nothing revealed to the public and the teaser that was leaked was taken away in the span of a few days so most people still haven't seen it unless actively looking. In hype alone the only movie that has a teaser out so far is spiderman so they all are on pretty even ground after that.

It might not do as well as everything else on opening weekend, but I feel it's going to do good overall, kind of like Avatar, but probably not as much money (2.7 billion dollars is a pretty tough to beat number), I'd be willing to bet that Godzilla gets at least 400 million opening day, warranting a sequel (as it'd more than double the budget of 150 million dollars), but that's just a prediction. I don't think we're gonna see Godzilla annihilate the box office competition, but we'll get a sequel for sure... Even if the movie is gonna be like Pacific Rim. I don't expect Kaiju films to be the new, big thing in Hollywood until people get bored of Superhero films.

Wraith, it was test footage. They just wanted to get people excited for the movie, but they didn't start filming when they released the test footage at San Diego Comic Con 2012. That footage was edited to display a different looking creature, which people describe as being grey, and looking like one of the bugs from Starship Troopers and the cloverfield monster in one.

Gareth Edward had only implied that he might consider a Monster Island movie. He never said anything about it being a sure thing, or even something that would be truly taken into consideration. This has been a topic discussion several times, and we've already concluded that it was simply something the director would take into consideration. Also, regarding your list... 1. .... 2. This is beginning to sound like Final Wars. 3. Yep, definitely Final Wars. 4. You do mean antagonists... Right? Right? Are humans and Godzilla the bad guys in your ideal movie? It would be impossible to portray the Monster Island movies with any realism. The 2014 movie's goal of being realistic is already going to be hard enough to suspend our beliefs, asking us to turn off our brain that much for a realistic Monster Island movie is asking for way too much. Ghidorah, any of them (King, Keizer, Des) have not been loaned to Legendary, as such, assuming Ghidorah makes an appearance is a extremely hopeful at best, at this current time. If you want to see a more modern version of Destroy All Monsters, just go watch Final Wars. It was a decent enough film that highly resembled what Destroy All Monsters was, besides a few elements. That being said, the next movie (should one be made) will probably involve one of the monsters (maybe the eight legged smaller muto(s)) from the 2014 movie and a maybe one or two new monsters that are Legendary creations. I don't like the idea of them using any of Toho's monsters in a REBOOT. They asked to use Godzilla, fine, but I like some degree of originality from reboots, but doesn't stray TOO far from the source material (picky picky, us Godzilla fans are).

It could use some paragraph breaks, but this is actually one of the more interesting fan fiction I've read and definitely the best I've seen here. I love the first person/slice-of-life approach to it: A short and sweet detailed account of someone surviving through one of Godzilla's battles. Well done. Entertaining style.

[i]The Amazing Spider-Man[/i] was only #1 at the box office for 1 week. It dropped to #2 the second week with an attendance drop of 43% and [i]The Dark Knight Rises[/i] had yet to come out. And because it was the seventh highest grossing movie of the year actually says less about the industry as a whole than it does in favor of the film. (For example, if [i]The Amazing Spider-Man[/i] only made one dollar, and was still somehow the seventh best selling movie of the year, is that still a success? Nope. You have to factor in budget and attendance.) I'm not sure where this idea that most movies stay #1 for two weeks or more came from. It's a rare feat these days that's only accomplished by a select few. [i]The Avengers[/i], [i]The Dark Knight Rises[/i] and [i]Iron Man 3[/i] did it, sure, but they're exceptions not the norm. Rival studios expected this which is why [i]Star Trek into Darkness[/i] was released two weeks after [i]Iron Man 3[/i] and not one. Clearly studios aren't too afraid of [i]The Amazing Spider-Man 2[/i] at the moment. If [i]Godzilla[/i] is #1 at the box office for one week that would be a massive success and it's all the movie really needs. #1 for two weeks is a pipe dream for most studios. I also think you overestimate the "potential hits." The Oz movie and the Disney movie are nowhere on the hype radar for most media outlets and probably will have very little press in comparison to [i]Godzilla[/i], [i]X-Men[/i] and [i]Spider-Man[/i]. They sound more like calendar fillers than potential box office "hits".

Yes but even being the lowest grossing spiderman is was still the 7th highest grossing film of 2012, and probably managed to stay #1 at the box office for a few weeks till dark knight rises was released, and this is what is a worrying fact. If they can stay at the top for 2 weeks then Godzilla loses any chance, as another movie comes out right behind it, blocking it again from possibly reaching that #1 spot. Even if it does take the number 1 spot it will still most likely lose it within a week. Coming out between 2 superhero movies is just all around a bad idea on the planning front if this. This month is more packed with potential hits than any month before it, If you include Godzilla that's 5 potential blockbusters in a span of around 4 weeks with godzilla right in the middle, which is arguably the worst spot to be.

Or maybe we are over thinking these things, with the holiday of lights, vishnu, and Godzilla tying into each other. I just think the whole November 3rd thing just has to do with Godzilla's anniversery, but thats just me.

Honestly at this point in the game there is still a lot we don't know. We've had glimpses but until we get at least a full trailer I don't think we could know the answer to that question. I know if it does turn out the big G was brought back to his roots as a terrifying force of nature they would probably love it as that was their intention. One thing's for sure. They'd be just as excited as we are to see what Gareth Edwards does with the character and the film as a whole.

I think it would be a good idea to make Hedorah a playable character. I am a huge fan of him!

Something as a side note that I want to point out: Both [i]The Amazing Spider-Man[/i] and [i]The Wolverine[/i] made significantly less money than their predecessors even [b]with[/b] expensive 3D ticket prices... Yeesh...

The budget for [i]Godzilla[/i], [i]X-Men Days of Future Past[/i] and [i]The Amazing Spider-Man 2[/i] haven't officially been released. James MacAvoy said [i]X-Men[/i] is the second most expensive movie Fox has ever produced. The first is [i]Avatar[/i] which had a budget of $450 million, including promotional expenses. I doubt [i]X-Men[/i]'s is close to that, but if what McAvoy is saying is true then it's probably around the $300 million mark. The only reports for [i]The Amazing Spider-Man 2[/i]'s budget are two or three sources claiming it has a budget of "over $100 million". That could mean anything, but it sounds like Sony made the budget smaller than the last one. Hard to tell. As for [i]Godzilla[/i], I've heard rumors of anywhere between $160-$190 million. But there's also a rumor going on that Edwards turned down a good chunk of the production budget and made [i]Godzilla[/i] for $90 million. (Which wouldn't be too surprising considering he pulled off [i]Monsters[/i] with a budget of only half a million.) The reality is these are all guesses by both myself and media outlets piled with rumors started by fans of all three franchises. We won't know the final budgets until around the time these movies come out.

All us G-fans really want in our Godzilla for this film is for his powerful status to remain like that,perhaps even exceed that of his predecessors. Key things include being impervious to any significant damage from military armaments (that means all those fancy missile strikes too!),an atomic breath that can level entire city blocks without effort (in fact,I think total vaporization would be better in this film),and a knack for never showing any signs of slowing down from anything short of an oxygen destroyer or nuclear meltdown.

i will miss akira for sure god rest his soul he made the best music for the godzilla films and nothing can compare to him on monster music akira ifukube was the man when it came to godzilla films or any monster film for that matter and as far as this movie goes it must use the main godzilla theme it is a part of godzilla just like his signature atomic breath attack i can not say i will like for someone else to make a godzilla film without the theme i do not want another zilla 98 film all over again the movie wasnt to bad but the fact that it was not godzilla made everything suck i wanted to see godzilla not a damn iguana on the loose laying eggs i could have seen that in a damn zoo or on the discovery channel for crying out loud but any way they have to use at least godzillas theme for this movie if not oh well i can say i will hate it if they dont but from the trailer i saw and from everything i have read this film is going to rule regardless of akiras music not being in it i would love for them to but we will have to wait and watch the film when it comes out

@GMAN115 You\'re right, TriStar should have followed "Gojira's" characteristics, but they wanted money. I have a lot of confidence in this movie because I watched Gareth Edward's "Monsters", and I thought it was beautiful for a low-budget film. Now with all of the materials at his disposal, he will be able to make a greater film. He likes realism because he was thinking,(and this is a quote directly from him) "What if someone from ToHo actually saw this creature and ran back to the studio to try to make an exact representation." According to this movie, if Godzilla was an actual creature of mass destruction (we would all be screwed if he was), how would we act or what would our actions be or possibly, how would are military respond to the threat? He also wanted to make Godzilla specifically as realistic as possible.

Dam that was tight!! lol Thats what she said.

Well if Godzilla 2014 isn\'t going to sweep the box office then better it lose to potentially good films with established franchises then some piece of crap like Grown Ups 2. Also, what exactly were the bugdet costs for X-men and Spiderman compared to Godzilla's 160 million budget?

Unfortunately, Gareth isn't the person who will be "throwing" any trailer our way. That job belongs to WB. And if history has taught us anything when it comes to WB, they are the worst at marketing these kind of movies. Just look at Pacific Rim. And I will stick to my theory . We won't see a trailer until March.

for me its the second one its a really cool update for gigan but still respects the look of the original
