@DOGGIEZILLA - I disagree.
This most certinly does NOT have to happen.
From an amateur fan standpoint, it's not a bad idea and I can see why people might think it would be a good one. It'd be fun, for sure, to know that all of our old favorite movies are coming back on DVD and Bluray.
However, from a realistic and practical standpoint, it's a horrible idea.
The cost of remastering and distributing the old Godzilla films in both DVD and Bluray will easily outweigh the income they receive, even as the final date of the 2014 movie comes around. Besides, nearly all of the old Godzilla films exist now on DVD already. Some of them are cheap as dirt, others as expensive as $60+, but they're out there. Why remake them when they already exist? It's completely without logic. Even boxing them together, there's no point. Why bother putting them all on Bluray when hardly anybody's bought the DVD's that already exist in the first place? True the film quality would improve a bit, as proven between the DVD and Bluray Godzilla vs. Biollante discs, but so too do the imperfections in the suits, wires, and other areas that were cleverly hidden within the quality of the old VHS tapes and DVD discs.
Neither Toho nor Legendary would truly gain anything from such a venture, and if anything they'd only end up losing money on the deal. Especially if they do this before the 2014 film.
In fact, the best time (and really the ONLY time) to do this would actually be AFTER the 2014 film has come out. And then only if it does very, very well. If the film is average, this will never work. If it's just good, this will never work. If the film exceeds expectations and is overwhelmingly positively received, then it's a good idea to slowly start reintroducing the classic Toho Godzilla films to a Bluray world. Keyword is "slowly." Trying to throw them all out at once is begging for a disaster.
