More Godzilla

[Lt. Trull]

I sit here hanging my head in shame for the thought with a big grin on my face wondering aloud if there will be more Godzilla movies now that the radiation release has happened in japan.

There are plans in place for a return to the franchise...but yeah the situation in Japan could have derailed them for the time being. I just read a few days ago that a new project had been green lit.

There is an American version of Godzilla being made coming out next year. But I do wonder if the tragedy in Japan makes Godzilla a difficult subject for a Japanese made movie?

Well, seeing as the original Gojira was intended as a direct metaphor to the hidden potential/dangers of nuclear power, I imagine that this would play right into it, honestly...

^^ Right there with ya, boss.. The original movie came out what? 10, 12 years after the bombs were dropped.. I think it will probably be a while before we see a Japan-made movie, but I bet it won't be that long.. Of course, not matter when it comes out, there will be cries of "Too soon!!"

Yeah, 'cause Godzilla sure wasn't inspired by Japanese experience with nuclear destruction...

But how soon does one make a Godzilla movie after this tragedy without it being insensitive?
