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.

I'd guess those "Water Bear" looking things from the leaked trailer.

Perhaps even more than that...



Found this as well. Don't know how accurate it is though...

They made him larger? I thought they were downsizing him for more of a retro look.

The size chart is correct. Godzilla grew 20 meters in the 1991 film Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah when exposed to a nuclear sub that crashed at the bottom of the ocean.

I assume the reason they did that is due to larger skyscrapers that've been built over the years to get the scale correctly for the 2014 continuity.

I don't think so.

I spent way more time than I should admit to today looking on Bing/Google with different terms and there seems to be a huge segment of the G-Nerds talking about a kaiju named "Vishnu."

Apparently the Oppenheimer quote mentioning Vishnu is said over the clip of the "Water Bear" (a creature with multiple arms) during the leaked teaser.

I saw a pic from a comic but can't find any G-related kaiju with that name...

I don't know if this can be trusted or not but the ComicCon displays and the augmented reality media Legendary put out a year or so ago all had him with the blue breath of death...

trailer would be epic with some some of Akira Ikefube's classic zilla themes in it.

Clearly updated for a morbidly obese culture- definitely hitting up the fast food Drive-thrus a bit too much!
