Godzilla 2014: Rumors, Pix and filming
- Thread starter Gojira
- Start date
Yes, it was, I'm just saying it was a little strange they never thought of "fill the hole" long before "lets build robots!"
Maybe they did and it just didn't work. :P
Could be, I do love the film but it was a random thought after I'd seen it, robots being the more entertaining choice anyway.
More concerned with the human aspect of this new Godzilla movie, it was one of the bigger problems with the last American attempt, just hoping they have a better cast and script ready for this outing.
And Aaron Taylor-Johnson from KICK-ASS. And Elizabeth Olsen, who is also going to play the Scarlet Witch in AVENGERS 2 . . .
Aaron Taylor-Johnson plays Quciksilver in the Avengers sequel.
This is the teaser trailer, story trailers comes later.
Clearly, we need to start a rumor that GODZILLA is the secret prequel to AVENGERS 2 . . .
Well, Godzilla (or one incarnation of him) is part of the Marvel Universe:

My intro to SHIELD, especially Dum Dum Dugan, actually own the run somewhere. Marvel/Disney definitely should purchase rights to the big G (at least comics) and especially Rom (how much could Rom possibly cost?).
IDW currently holds the Godzilla comics license, and has published a number of miniseries which I gather have been well-received (at least judging from the few reviews I've come across).
The burning cityscape doen't just evoke the original, but looks like the background of the painting The Triumph of Death

The whole subtext of Gojira at his Hadean Eon, Cosmic Horror best is: This Planet is Not Yours, Mankind.
Well Spoken.
I have my own theory. There is only one kaiju--not an alien ecology you have to figure out--like how the things eat enough, can walk, etc.
A supernatural explanation adds some menace, after all.
In Revelation, after all, it talks about Death and Hell being cast into the Lake Of Fire.
I thought Hell was the lake of fire. Instead, it is mostly a holding area, seeking who it may devour--the Beast itself.
Therefore, Godzilla is the Hellmouth--that walks

Ooh, "awakening?" That's promising. As I've said before, given that virtually every prior Godzilla film since 1955 has presented itself as a sequel to the 1954 original (even though they branched off into 7-8 distinct continuities that had only that one film in common), I was hoping this one would somehow be a sequel as well, rather than a completely new origin. So if the nuclear accident has awakened pre-existing kaiju rather than creating them in the first place, that means maybe this could constitute a sequel after all.
I'd guess that Godzilla existed in1954 and was thought destroyed by whatever armed forces fought him back then. Obviously him cropping up again in 2014 is going to be a surprise for many.
