Godzilla

[Purgstall]

Ah...i remember this video just like yesterday. It used to come on all the time on TNT's MonsterVision during the early 90's. Its too badf they dont do that anymore...anyways here it is. I hope you all enjoy i know i did.

I too miss Monstervision. Without it, TNT turned to crap.

if you are interested in a Godzilla reboot you may be in luck, check out godzilla on wikipedia and they talk about legendary pictures making a new american godzilla movie (no relation to the 1998 one though) could be interesting and an announcement could be made at the beginning of 2010.

MECHAGODZILA 2003 AND 2004 BUILT BY JSDF

MECHAGODZILLA IS DEFENDER TOO

[odin]

wow, i did not notice that this thread got so many pages, and purgstall got some interesting points in the Godzilla movies, frankly if godzilla gets another movie i hope toho makes it and not another studio that gets the rights to make it cause i just fear that they would not be faithful to the source material like they did with the 1998 godzilla, if i look at it in a mature way instead of hearing the fanboy in me it wasn't that bad of a movie , it was average BUT it wasn't Godzilla the just attached the name to make a quick buck but i'm sure if they didn't they still would have done well, they hyped the people with the nicely done trailer, putting the name was not necessary but whats done its done, anyways back on topic, about the remake , if they make it i only hope they stay true with 2 things :

1.Stay true to the source material: Godzilla is a Godzillasaours that was exposed to a nuclear explosion, Is practically indestructible (only another Kaiju of greater or equal strength is able to defeat or kill him) and has atomic breath.

2.still use a suit and not CGI.

I really don't care about realism considering what the subject is about, all i want to see is an over the top action packed godzilla movie where he fights another monster be it old or new or just another royal rumble like in destroy all monsters or final wars, say what you will about this guy but Michael Bay even tho he has not made some crappy movies when he makes an action movie he delivers this Non-stop action with great explosions and stuff with godzilla you dont have to worry much about the story cause there really isn't any perse so he would be the only one i would consider to make it outside of toho, and that is something that i never thought id say in my life.

godzillasaurus turn into godzilla in 90s 's godzilla vs kg movie

[Purgstall]

Legendary Pictures has confirmed that it is doing a Godzilla remake: http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118017027.html?categoryid=13&cs=1

This made my day.

[Bobby]

Just remembered a joke by Larry The Cable Guy: I gotta lose some weight. My Japanese neighbor started calling me Gutzilla.

[Tales]

Rumor has it that is to be the new Godzilla

[*Jess♥]

woah! that is incredibly cool!

I like it.

i wonder if that will be a man in a costume, or maybe they will be using full CGI...

[durendal]

As long as Godzilla doesn't look like a dinosaur and reproduce, I'm fine with it. Yesh, Godzilla is supposed to be the good monster, and only wrecks the city out of collateral damange, not actually destroy the city.

[*Jess♥]

i like this image

that american movie godzilla, look like a trogg. his body way too small and skinny. it was like he was all arms and legs. and his jaw was too much like a big boot strapped to his face.

[durendal]

Yeah, that's what Godzilla should look like, not a giantisized Velociraptor.

I'd like to see the movie pitting Godzilla with the other legendary monsters like Mothra, Biolante and Mecha Godzilla.

[*V Guyver]

that pic looks like a fusion of the two designs. Sorta gave the more realistic features of zilla, and yet retains most of the classic Godzilla's figure. The onr tjing I regretted about Godzilla was his face, it was so cartoony in many incarnations. Actualy it bordered on looking like Godzilla awas high.

Yo fo shizzle mothra, that's some good *&$@

[Purgstall]

The project was just announced like 2 weeks ago, so the chances of them finalizing the design this early is highly unlikely. We know very little about this project, we haven't even been told who's directing this movie or which company is doing the special effects (supposedly it is WETA, but no confirmation yet), we only know who the producers are. So it's safe to assume that any supposed Godzilla design for the new LP movie is just fan art for now.

EDIT: Yea, that pic is just a fan made thing. Besides that, I don't like how small his head is nor do I like his snout. Other than that, it's good. I'd rather have the LP Godzilla look something similar to the Heisei Godzilla except for slightly slimmer theighs and longer arms so that it can engage in some showa series style fights.

here's the picture stored on this server.

[durendal]

that does look more like a dragon than a dinosaur. I somehow liked it. Though I feel the neck is a bit long.

[Purgstall]

There's another pic of that Godzilla. Here it is:

And while I'm at it, here's another fan model that others seem to be noticing too:

If they took out the bumpy spikes scattered throughout his body, then I think it would be a pretty kickass Godzilla.

One thing is certain, I'm gonna have to start saving up some money for the action figures and stuff. Rumor (which came from a very credible source) has it that Godzilla is fighting a monster in this movie. If I remember correctly, the Godzilla IMAX project has been pretty much scrapped in favor of making this movie in 3-D. Me, I think it might be cool to see Godzilla firing his atomic breath at the crowd. I do dislike the whole 3-D coming back thing, but I think this movie could actually be good in 3-D. I do know that Yoshimitsu Banno, the guy who directed Godzilla vs Hedorah is one of the producers (an exec producer, If I remember Correctly) on this film. Seems like Toho is making sure that they don't get screwed over again. I can't wait to find out who is gonna be directing this movie. I just hope it isn't Tarantino. Tarantino's idea for a Godzilla movie sounded terrible.

Maybe the rival monster will be Kinky Dora, er... I mean King Gidorah.

[*Jess♥]

ha ha durendal, i used to think exactly the same thing!!

that takes me back 20 years.

that second model is very cool as well. i think it follows what may have been the creators original intent, although....

i think it is very important to see godzillas eyes so i think on both those models, the eyes are too small.

[*Jess♥]

what about this?

the CG looks a bit suspect, but the rest of it looks pretty solid.

prhaps this is just a tv commercial?

[Bobby]

What the hell happened to that guy's hair?!?

[Purgstall]

That's a dream sequence from Always: Sunset on Third Street 2, which is a Toho film. That movie came out in 2007. I heard that the first Always was a pretty good movie, so I might check out both of them though Godzilla only appears in that dream sequence Ryuki posted from the second movie.

ah that makes sense now.

that godzilla did look really cool though.

i'd love to see a new film like that.

i love this following music.

i watched some clips from final wars. godzilla is so awesome.

[Purgstall]

Too bad Godzilla is in the movie for like 10 minutes and the movie is 125 minutes long and he's suppose to be the star of Final Wars. I could list a lot more problems that GFW suffers from (and trust me, there are a lot of problems with this movie), but I won't. Lazyness ftw!
