I posted this like two hours ago! 

How come I received no credit and I posted this in the first place?

The King has returned and will return again. I hope they bring in other monsters such as Mothra, Anguirus, Rodan, Mechagodzilla, King Ghidorah and/or Gigan. I cannot wait.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Evan123-If it's any consolation, I gave you credit in another thread. Your post was just what I needed to prove my point in that discussion. So thanks man!

Let us rejoice!!!

@Evan, apologies. Recently, with the huge influx of news, I don't often check the forums first. I always check my emails before anything else. If I get a twitter notification also, I'll often times go straight to posting the news from there. I can't always guarantee I'll see your forum news post before I get a chance to log on and share the news myself on the blog. But thank you for sharing it earlier in the forums and keeping our members updated!

YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

My understanding is, That Ledgendary is going to overlook the Pacific Rim Sequel, In favour of this, Due to Box office turnouts.

(Lets be honest, Pacific Rim bombed at the Box office, America is the key part Movie Makers look at. If it Bombs there, It's going to be sent else where for future development. Due to the lacking of Kaiju And Mecha Fans in america, A sequel may be just held in the Eastern Asian Area.)

RR44  that was said for maybe a guy or two in a pre screen, so that comments about godzilla's weight, could be less important right now, tho :)

I want a Pacific Rim sequel!!!

and I'm not sure if I would go back to the theaters to see godzilla ( whom I'm fooling about?, haha-- just to listen and see that **** roar in the screen I'd go to see the movie )

PLEASE take your time Legendary dont release the sequel in just 2 yrs like alot of other movies I can wait for five years to finally see another one.

That's perfect Chris, thanks again!

Considering how long it takes to make an American movie I'm not surprised they're going forward with a sequel as soon as the opening weekend results came in. I predict summer 2016. I have no doubt that they'll continue with their own monsters but they'd have more than enough extra ka ching to scoop up the rights to another Toho baddie. Put a new spin on Ghidorah. The space angle won't work so somehow make it connected to Godzilla. I'd love to see a hydra like Ghidorah that regrows two heads in place of one.

QUESTION!!!!

Godzilla was Legendary's last collaboration with Warner Brothers before they partnered with Universal, right?  It says Legendary and Warner's are developing the sequel, but shouldn't that be Legendary and Universal?  Are Legendary and Warner's still working togeher?  If the split does effect the Godzilla sequel, who takes the rights, Warner's or Legendary?

Okay, that was four questions...

LET THE CRAZY FAN-THEORIES AND SPECULATION BEGIN!!!

@Danzilla93

Good question. It was do***ented that Godzilla was one of the last collaborations Legendary would have with Warner Bros., under the current financial partnership. Perhaps it is misinformation but I do know that Legendary scooped up the rights to Godzilla from Toho when it initially was announced that they would be developing a re-branding of the franchise for American audiences. Waner Bros. was simply a financial partner as Legendary put up 75% of the film's budget while Warner supplied the rest. Warner Bros. split the marketing costs with Legendary to promote the film. If Legendary continues to develop a sequel, my understanding would be that Legendary would once again fit the majority of the bill for the film's budget with Universal putting up the rest. Legendary ultimately has control over this property with the partnerships coming from just financials. Also I thought the Universal deal also included theme park collaborations and the like, a Godzilla 3D ride at Universal Studios would be awesome! I could be wrong in some of what I'm stating but this is what I gather from certain articles I've read.

On note to the sequel being developed...I am super excited for this! I loved the film. This teases and build up to the finale, I thought was very effective. With the sequel, my guess is they would have to go a more action-oriented route with more monster action and definitely more Godzilla. Reason for this being, in the reboot, they took a Jaws-like approach to the creature, showing him in only small bits and glimpses until the finale where literally "all hell breaks loose". As they have already shown their cards with Godzilla, this "teasing" game would not be as effective for a sequel because we have already experienced it and since we now see Godzilla in all his glory, there is no need to continue that style of filmmaking. It's a bit redudant. Hopefully more action ensues in the next one. I personally would love to see them secure the rights to some of the Toho classic foes like Ghidorah, Varan, Baragon, Gigan, Anguirus, Mothra, etc. Since they have established this new franchise on Earth with a "grounded" and "realistic" approach, it would be a little too fantastic to go the alien space invader route as Toho had many times in the original series (although I would love to see that). Also, maybe an angle with a military faction going rogue out to destroy Godzilla? MechaGodzilla? Akira Ifukube's original themes reworked or integrated into the end credits of the sequel? I apologize for the novel I'm composing here...I'm just a die-hard fan with an excitement hangover from this film. Any thoughts?! Go Go GODZILLA!

Great movie loved it it was a dream come true BUT!!!! SCRAPPING PACIFIC RIM 2!!??!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we're gonna have to wait 4ever for godzilla 2 how the hell are they gonna top this one??? further more TOHO cant make anymore GODZILLA movie's if legendary is making them!!! this is BULLS**T!!!!

Deatroy all monsters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's time Toho co-produced (or gave permission to use their monsters) with Legendary Pictures the next 28 (;) Godzilla films!

Just imagine a Gareth Edwards' reboot of Gigan, Ghidorah, Biollante, Jet Jaguar (hell why not?), Mothra (I guess), Anguirus, Rodan, monsters of Monster Island, all of them! (Gareth did tease with the idea of a "Destroy all Monsters" if he could-he-would kind of thing) okay I'll calm down now, my brother and I had a very in depth discussion about the possibilities thanks to how well Godzilla is doing at the box office.

And for all the people who hated on this film, I'm glad they did. Seperated us true fans from the hype-train enthusiasts who were dissapointed by "Not enough Godzilla" ha!

As Daniel Bryan would say it: YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES!!!!

As Daniel Bryan would say it: YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES!!!!

I remember before this film released the director was discussing how if he coudve bought right to another onster it wouve been king Ghidorah. However, hes veeerrryy expensive. He also said maybe a "destroy all monsters" approach. So who knows.

Man this is exciting. I, personally, want to see more original monsters because M.U.T.O. was AWESOME! Some of the oldies, too. Putting a little Pacific Rim action in there, too, might just cause me to throw the contents of my wallet more readily.

It was a decent flick. Wish it would have heald tighter to the original "Vishnu" trailer. That would have been one awesome movie...

Cool...just give us some more Godzilla screen time in the sequel. I get the "less is more" appoach of the 1st film, but I really hope, they won't pull this stuff in the sequel.

i heard the confirmation in the radio in sunday may 18! OMG EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE YET(and i will see it in my b-day May 23,2014) I ALREADY KNOW THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!I CANT WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL!

I think having Bryan Cranston in this movie was a big part of its success. I hope they'll have some higher named actors for the sequel to bring back the crowd that aren't neccessarily Godzilla fans. It would also be weird if they had Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olson going back and forth from Avengers sequels and Godzilla sequels playing husband and wife and brother and sister. With that being said I believe the sequel will be even better than the first now that they got the introduction out of the way. I can't wait!

I saw it on Thursday night and loved it. This is the Godzilla I have always wanted to see ever since the '98 version (which would have been great had it been given a different name). I've watched 'Zilla ever since I was a kid. However, what I never understood was the fascination with Mothra. It's the least (and not favorite) of the monsters he's faced. King Ghidrah?  Now that's a monster I'd love to see in a sequel.

An idea for Legendary Could be to do a voting poll for people to choose which kaiju will be in previous sequels. But dont dispaly which kaiju are winning to still keep it a secret, and then slowly build up to it with the trailers and then finaly give us a big slap in the face with who it was. Just an idea i had and im also new to the community although i have been with it every step.
