Official Godzilla 2014 Plot Synopsis

Can't help but agree with you there big guy. Blue fire out!

Spoiler: Buildings get destroyed.

Hahahaha Woah! Warn us next time [b]GodzillaSays[/b]! The movie could be ruined now! XD Haha

Due to the recent interview with Frank Darabont. It's safe to assume that the plot may be similar to the original in terms of the tone and underlying plot. He's bringing Godzilla's greatest characteristic of all back: a force of nature and nuclear disaster.

Darabont also said that this new Godzilla would be focusing on themes that are relevant to today. It could reflect upon the 2012 Japanese radiation leak. The theme could be is that no matter how reliant we are on nuclear power, the benefits it gives us can by no means be more important then the consequential impacts it can have on our environment.

[i]...there is a good chance that this Godzilla...can swim. yelp.[/i]

@GOD_zilla0113 , I actually hope they set it up that way, that would be an awesome way to update the story without it straying to far from the original

After the Godzilla 2014 movie, will there be another set/series of movies?

the plot should be godzilla is awakened by global warming and mutatedl by atomic bombs you kill 2 birds with one stone a metaphore for atomic missiles and the warming climate earth's facing. and his adversary monsters can cum from that same atomic bomb test. as far as weather or not there will be more after this movie it depends on how it's received.

I don't care what the plot is just aslong as they try and get some of the original cast back and also they continue it from the first film They need to keep the them otherwise it will be completly ruin they need to make it a franchise Original cast and orignal storyline start the film from the remaining egg in madison square garden Also dont envolve king kong like the classic because then it will be going fantasy from reality and no movie should be that way really excited about this film so please please please dont ruin it as the first film was perfectly scripted.

For me, I just want a serious Godzilla film, like the first one. Thankfully, this is the route they seem to be taking. Of course, I also want to see some Monster brawls, but my main hopes are that they focus heavily on Godzilla and less so on a love story between two people. Have a balanced mix of people / Godzilla footage and I'll be a happy camper.

Too much human story makes me....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Agreed, I'm very much against overbearing human love stories in a Godzilla flick. However, human back story is crucial, especially to a reboot of the classic Godzilla, there needs to be that happy balance between Monster rampages and military incompetence. Makes for an enjoyable experience.

i feel as if this movie needs to go back to its old roots, back to 1954. when we all witnessed the metaphor of destruction, the weapon of god, the reaper himself, terrorize helpless people. it needs to show a lot of the monster action but at the same time show how this affected the people and how helpless they become. that will really revive the series. but not only show the destruction of cities but show how a monster of such proportions can be a neutrally good factor. or maybe how godzilla is just trying to defend himself. like in GvD. he did everything to protect himself and his son. pretty much me need the metaphor of destruction, sympathy for the people, (no love story or struggle between different individuals) and a difficulty for godzilla himself that brings him to the brink of death. one that actually shows a lesson that we could all learn from. as a long time godzilla nerd ive learned a lot from godzilla. i think others should have the experience of learning from such a visual

i hope this movie turns out being really good. The last Godzilla with Matthew Broderick was kind of corny but i still liked it. I hope this one shows more of the actual creature, it will tide me over until the next Jurassic Park comes out!!!!!

The move should have a simple plot. After the bombs had been tested, Godzilla awakes from slumber and rises up. Destroying cities and killing people. Soon the military from Japan and The United States has been attacking the monster with all of their forces and power. Nothing seems to be working. Godzilla leaves and heads back into the ocean where the monster has to fight of the the U.S navy. He quickly destroys them and heads off into the depths of the ocean. A week later, other monsters attack whatever city. And destroy almost most of it. As the monsters make so much disaster, Godzilla hears the disturbances and encounters the other giant monsters, Godzilla quickly realizes these other monsters are threats. And Godzilla goes an all out battle with the 2 monsters, and humanity in the way..

I can't wait to see how everything we've heard so far about the new movie comes together. We've heard that Gareth Edwards wants to create a film grounded in reality including how we would react if this were really happening. We've heard that Godzilla will be returning to his serious roots including destroying cities. I'm curious as to how the additional monsters that he fights come into play. Are they also awakened by nuclear testing? I hope there is a scene in that movie, perhaps an extra in the end credits, where Godzilla travels the globe and blows up a crackpot from North Korea.

My wishlist for the Plot: -[b][u]Do not[/u][/b] make it yet ANOTHER direct sequel to Gojira/Godzilla 1954. -Make this the start of a Kaiju Cinematic Universe, with Godzilla as the key to an Age of Giant Monsters. -Make Godzilla the [i]Main[/i] focus of the film, the human characters should help us get info from him and other important etc. -Since Darabont will have Godzilla based on a current contemporary issue, have Godzilla's origins being a surviving dinosaur mutated from Radiation leaked from the Japanese Nuclear Plant Incident. -Don't make Godzilla a Villain, being a Force of Nature is good because its along the lines of an Anti-Hero. Both of Godzilla's foes on this should be the Villains. -Have references to the Toho Godzilla Franchise. Since Takarada is already making a cameo, maybe have homages to Gojira, like have Godzilla attack a ship in the opening, crush and stomp trains, and even popping his head out of a hill or Mountain.

i heard they are going to focus alot on a soldier i just hope he doesnt take up like 75% of the screen time. there might be a romance in it as well. i cant wait for this movie this and jurassic park 4 are my 2 most anticipated movies.

just dont make him run away from things or die and i will be happy

Having Godzilla go on a rampage through japan before moving to the US and facing off against an even bigger monster (which he defeats) would be cool. Japan earthquake/tsunami and subsequent radiation leak would be a good basis for him appearing. 100% faith in darabont to be honest... Bryan Cranston as Dr. Serizawa fingers crossed.

I think that the radiation leak would be the ideal starting point for how Godzilla became GODZILLA. I think that the will pay a little homage to the original. I do not want a love story or a monster that runs away all the time. And as long as they stray as far away from the 98 movie as possible I will be completely happy.

they said his origin might have to do with the recent japan nuclear leak

Taco Lauko › I agree

Maybe like this,The 1st ATOMIC bomb tested in rebirth island were godzilla and the other monsters live in there.....then a dinosaur named giganotosaurus mutated in the Atomic bomb Then the dinosaur turns to Gigantis!!!!

I agree mr.taco sir i wanna walk out the theater may16th and say that was a gewd movie and i think in my mind that the irony of humanity is the americans made something too kill the japanese and the same weapon that killed the japanese made the americans demise swaggy

Mabye Godzilla was mutated by the atom bombs dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki in 1945?

It'll probably be the sequel to Pacific Rim. The water's dried up and you the glowing fault line. Hint,hint!

I fully agree with Taco Lauko. I have been a long time Godzilla fan . I think they should bring the old roots back, like in 1954.

UPDATED - I have now updated the first post to this topic with the current, official Godzilla 2014 plot synopsis, which was confirmed today [url=http://www.godzilla-movies.com/news/964]here[/url] in light of Godzilla's presence at San DIego Comic-Con.

godzilla should still be created by a godzillasauras coming in contact with nuclear bomb testing but they should make it more recent. Nuke testing by north korea maybe?

Godzilla's birth will likely come from a breakdown at a nuclear facility. If they're taking the realistic approach, Japan had a big radiation spill from a plant just a few years ago. Legendary's film could feature commentary on the use of nuclear power to the effect that Gojira commented on the experimentation with nuclear weapons. I don't like the Godzillasaurus angle at all. I prefer an obscure origin, he's a mutation or an awoken beast of the depths, but leave him without a blatant origin. To me, it ruins franchises when you try to put an origin to a character that started without one. There's something good and more frightening in a mystery. Defining what Godzilla is with a specific creature he starts out as leaves opening for him to be more vulnerable, like in '98, he was a mutated iguana, and based on the previously mentioned mutation of worms in that film, audiences will not feel that Godzilla can stand up to anything, where if you don't know what he is, you don't know what can stop him. I hope this film doesn't explain what he came from beyond the incident, but don't cite a particular animal.

i would love it if G-man had the attitude like he did in the late 60's and 70's. the way he taunts the other monsters and celebrates when he wins. who remembers the mouth wipe taunt.

What I'm hoping for is the same emotional intencity that existed within the movie Cloverfield. The absolute shock! The immediate impact of helplessness over the magnitude of the creature!!! Like HOLY S@#T!!! A nightmare you can't wake from! My question now is the same as when I was very young..... WHAT IF GODZILLA WAS REAL? No........ really...... What if? OMG

I honestly just hope they don't take it too seriously I mean at base Godzilla is a Giant fire breathing indestructible nuclear monster who fights other nuclear or space monsters, and there's only a certain point of seriousness you can take it to before it just goes overboard and seems dumb. It's ok to have a serious tone but hopefully they keep in mind all the movies that have been in this series and realize that it's ok if not everything is explained or pans out as it would in real life.

so Godzilla
