While i'm not gonna get myself all up an excited for this to avoid disappointment if no news is revealed, it should be expected that question's about LP Godzilla film will without question be asked Edward's should have something to announce about the project.

I'd just be happy with a release date, or the script is being approved by Toho an expect something big at Comic-Con this year.. That's the most i'm expecting for now... Concept Art would just send me threw the roof though. So here's hope.

A few people that I don't know all to well (But are huge G-fans), find that we might get something from this event.

I doubt we'll get anything from it though.
Now there we go! This could be a place to get atleast SOME of our questions answered! Nothing is guarenteed but atleast its better than nothing. Do you know anyone going or is anyone here going?

Probably some of the questions that would most likely be answered if asked

1) Update on a script? Is it completed and approved?
2) Whats causing the delay/lack of news?
3) When can filming or casting be expected to begin?
The only person who I know (well, most of us know) that is going to the event is Tormentor, that's about it.

I'm sure that Mr. Edward will most likely be blasted with some Godzilla related questions, the somewhat real question to think about is "How informing will his answers be?" We all know that he can't just flat-out spill the beans, but I think he also knows that he can't just leave us or anyone with scraps of info that we most likely have already heard about. He'll probably try to do that due to higher-ups, but hopefully the guy will be able to toss us a few bones.

Regardless on if Godzilla doesn't appear until 2014, There are several films already given release dates for 2014 an even 2015. There is no reason Legendary can't give a projected release date during Comic-Con this year.

6 months have already passed since Max B was announced script writer already..

Exactly! Re watching that interview with Brian Rogers he states 2012 was a target release date never official since it was "such a large project" but your right we are way overdue for a big announcement now

My hope is that we either get big news this weekend or at least small info that keeps us happy and they release big stuff at comic con

My BIG concern with this weekend is that people wont ask the right questions like script update, release date, beginning of filming etc.

There are people out there who would be in a position to ask such questions, but those people are either disinterested in Godzilla or distracted by upcoming Batman/other Legendary news.

Well, thankfully, people won't be asking Edwards about Batman (at least I hope not). The fact that he's there likely indicates some sort of announcement regardless of which questions get asked. It seems to indicate that things may be back on track. I don't know of any other reason that Edwards would attend.

That is what Im hoping. Like I said earlier he is not there to promote any other movie and Legendary has no movies set for 2014. I would really love to know a release date and when filming will begin.

If there is no info for Edwards to release by now then obviously the project is in distress. But I think we all expect something from Edwards. At least that everything is finally underway and should expect something within the next year.

Here's a little something i found on LP's facebook page

Its an article talking about Thomas Tull and Godzilla is talked about in the last paragraph. Actually the whole paragraph is about the new Godzilla
Movies are still his main focus, though, and one of his next big projects is a new Godzilla. "We sat down and said, ‘What does Godzilla mean?' How do we tell a story that touches on that and takes it to a new level?" In the 1950s, as Japan recovered from atomic bombs, Godzilla represented something very real. And now? "Godzilla is an unbelievable primal fear. We always ask ourselves, If you turned on CNN and all of a sudden this huge creature emerges from the bay and it can breathe atomic fire, what would happen in the world? That got us very excited."

Great find man, I honestly have slightly renewed faith in the project, I think it's finally gonna start moving along after this summers big blockbusters pass.... It's great to see even if its brief the approach an excitement they have for Godzilla an i believe this will be the film we all should have gotten in 1998.

Thomas Tull has nothing but respect from me after all i have read about him, He's probably the main reason they got the rights from Toho an the reason this will stay true to Toho's franchise.

I take comfort in the idea that if there isn't anything to report, there would be very little reason for him to be there.

Well now, this should help damp the drought of info that we've been having. Great job there gatorzilla. Still, hopefully, with this news as some sort of green-light, there might be some interesting news coming from the KAPOW event.

Not trying to be a negative Nancy, but I hope he is using that description loosely. Cloverfield already did a "realistic" monster movie approach.
