Godzilla stomping back to theaters
Godzilla stomping back to theaters via Legendary

By Ace Fernandez
Well, well, well ... look who's getting back in fighting shape.

Everyone's favorite gigantic, havoc-wreaking lizard, Godzilla, is on his way back to the big screen via Legendary Pictures, which has acquired the rights to develop and produce a new feature based on the iconic Toho Co. character. Warner Bros. will co-produce, co-finance and distribute through its deal with Legendary, and Toho will roll out the film in Japan.

Dan Lin, Roy Lee and Brian Rogers are also producing; Yoshimitsu Banno, Kenji Okuhira and Doug Davison will be executive producers on the project.

The last major Godzilla outing, an American, New York-set version from Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, grossed $376 million worldwide in 1998 despite fielding equally major criticism. Toho quickly produced "Godzilla 2000," in which the big beast took on an evil UFO, the following year.

But the Godzilla franchise juggernaut has survived decades of permutations (he first appeared in 1954), dozens of films, books, video games and merchandising tie-ins and seems perpetually ready to rear up again for new audiences.

The new film is shooting for a 2012 release.

"Godzilla is one of the world's most powerful pop culture icons, and we at Legendary are thrilled to be able to create a modern epic based on this long-loved Toho franchise," said Thomas Tull, chairman and CEO of Legendary. "Our plans are to produce the Godzilla that we, as fans, would want to see. We intend to do justice to those essential elements that have allowed this character to remain as pop culturally relevant for as long as it has."

Added Jeff Robinov, president of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, "Godzilla is emblematic of the kind of branded, event films for which Warner Bros. and our partners at Legendary are best known."

The two companies have partnered on such global properties as "Batman Begins," "The Dark Knight," "Superman Returns" and "The Hangover," which have grossed more than $2 billion worldwide. Together, they have a remake of "Clash of the Titans" stomping into theaters Friday.

This has been done to death already. Not really sure what more they could do that we haven't seen already.

Perhaps they could have him emerge from the leaking Gulf oil well, come ashore at Galveston, and lay waste to Texas.

Wait a minute - that's a great idea!

They're going to have American actors with poorly dubbed Japanese voice overs. And subtitles.

Well they can start by keeping the classic Godzilla look instead of Emmerich's poor redesign.

This.

Plus, the American Godzilla was a huge pussy.

If they're smart, they'll just remake the original Godzilla, or remake one of the classics like Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, or Godzilla vs King Ghidra. Those would rock with 2010 effects.

This.

The Sci-Fi and Horror genres have gone beyond B-movie stank at this point.

If you're going to get campy, cheesy CGI, and horrible dialogue you might as well go go Godzilla.

Honestly, the best move EVAR would incorporate Godzilla, porn, Bruce Campbell, Samuel L. Jackson, and midgets with flaming swords...

Not really. It's that horror and Sci-fi have stigmas so horror and sci-fi movies are categorized differently if the studios think it has potential.

I mean the highest grossing movie of all time is just a sci-fi action movie, and it wasn't released that long ago.
