My thoughts exactly though I do worry about Legendary thinking that Man of Steel or Pacific Rim will be their next big franchises instead but I would think they would not considering Pacific Rim is an unproven film and will probably end up just being one movie and Man of Steel is hanging by a thread because should the film not do as good its been reported Warner Bros will not do any Superman movies for awhile so they could very well be waiting for TDKR to get done and then focus on Godzilla as their next big franchise.Cimmerian Dragon wrote:With Batman going into hibernation (most likely) for a while now, Legendary may find themselves a little more eager to jump-start their next potential franchise. Could be good for Godzilla.

Re: What News Do You Hope To Be Announced This Year?
In response to Livingcorpse, of course LP will eventually bust out something related to Godzilla. But that doesn't mean that by that time Edwards and company will still be involved. This is what I meant by being scrapped. I see it being similar to the 94' Tristar Godzilla being scrapped in favor for Emmerich's forsaken attempt. It might just turn out that Del Toro may eventually get on board for Godzilla depending on his success with Pacific Rim.

Well Monsters wasn't that great. That's the only work of his I've seen. It wasn't bad at all, it just isn't as great as people seem to say.Living Corpse wrote:He's only had one film.

Re: What News Do You Hope To Be Announced This Year?
Never really cared for Del Toro anyways and its because of that that i find it hard to get excited about Pacific Rim. Dont understand why that was on Legendary's list ahead of Godzilla or why Del Toro wouldnt want to just make it into a Godzilla movie as the plot sounds exactly something you would see in a G-filmTyler wrote:Del Toro was asked multiple times to turn Pacific Rim into Godzilla and he refused.

Re: What News Do You Hope To Be Announced This Year?
As could I but the thing that annoys me the most is that this movie became a top priority over Godzilla and i dont understand why and I have a very hard time getting excited for it when anytime I see anything about this movie I think that it couldve been about Godzilla instead. If they wanted to combine this with Godzilla they should've done it before Del Toro got involved.Tyler wrote:I could do without giant robots in G films from now on.gatorzilla wrote:Never really cared for Del Toro anyways and its because of that that i find it hard to get excited about Pacific Rim.

Re: What News Do You Hope To Be Announced This Year?
My next comment is not based on fact, just a guess to see what people have to say...
You think Legendary/WB is waiting to see how the Hobbit is going to do with the whole 48 FPS? If it takes off they might push it on the new Godzilla movie?
Which I am aware a lot of early reviews of the 48 FPS footage is leaning towards bad.

Re: What News Do You Hope To Be Announced This Year?
Its a decent assumption, from what I heard and read about the 48 FPS footage was that to most, it looked like a TV soap opera show. (Someone used General Hospital as a example) Saying that there was no cinematic appearance and that the adventurous settings/movie settings looked like a normal set that you would see in a, you guessed it, a TV show.GodzillaIsCool wrote:My next comment is not based on fact, just a guess to see what people have to say...

There's nothing wrong with change, but this is really going to tear the audience/people wanting to see down in half for that film.
I don't think LP will be going with the new 48 fps format for the Godzilla film, in fear of turning potential audiences off, its something that might be avoided.

Re: What News Do You Hope To Be Announced This Year?
So aside from the brief Gareth Edwards and Max Borenstein interviews back in March we have nothing? How is nobody able to ask these guys or Legendary staff themselves what the deal is? I'd like to know what is the whole secrecy thing is about and also how the script is coming along if its finished and been approved? Will there be anything at Comic Con?
So many questions. Is this Toho causing the delay? If so why would they?
Anyone that goes to comic con this year really should just ask Legendary whats the progress on the movie? We are STARVING for something.
Didnt Thomas Tull say awhile back at last years either SD or NY comic con to "stay tuned for an update on a project called Godzilla" or something lke that?

Yes, but not intentionally.So many questions. Is this Toho causing the delay? If so why would they?
Toho let Tristar have creative freedom in 1998, and look how that turned out. They're going to be anal up Legendary's ass to make sure they don't fuck up their shit.
I used to be a lot more optimistic and outgoing, believe it or not. I used to actually be passionate about this stuff.

I sorta like this secrecy, honestly. Sorta how Cloverfield went and I really enjoy that movie (though many hate it). I just hope the tension is worth it...

Hopefully Borensteins script was approved by Toho. I dont want this to turn into a deal where we have to constantly wait because Toho is rejecting every single ideaJVM wrote:Yes, but not intentionally.So many questions. Is this Toho causing the delay? If so why would they?

Re: What News Do You Hope To Be Announced This Year?
A lot of people speculate that Toho might be the reason for the delay but what if it's Legendary that isn't pleased? Or Thomas Tull who is keeping a close eye on the project isn't? Even so, Let's say it is Toho who is causing the delay Legendary knew from the get-go Toho was not gonna-be hands''off this project like they were with Sony an Tri-Star's film, an i'm sure they weren't really to optimistic about giving the right's up either...
Several meeting's over a year or so ''from what i read'' it took before Legendary was given the right's and i'm sure a lot of $$$ was also another reason.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is 48 FPS? I mean I get that it's frames-per-second or something, but what does it look like/mean?GodzillaIsCool wrote:My next comment is not based on fact, just a guess to see what people have to say...

It's twice as much as the normal film frame rate (24fps).Tohosaurus wrote: Pardon my ignorance, but what is 48 FPS? I mean I get that it's frames-per-second or something, but what does it look like/mean?

Re: What News Do You Hope To Be Announced This Year?
I wonder if we'll hear anything new coming this summer.
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.

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?

Re: What News Do You Hope To Be Announced This Year?
It is frustrating having to wait so long for what little info we keep getting but to be honest this is par for the course. Tristar's Godzilla went through a simaler development cycle.gatorzilla wrote:So aside from the brief Gareth Edwards and Max Borenstein interviews back in March we have nothing?

Re: What News Do You Hope To Be Announced This Year?
Thats what Im hoping for. Either he has a few tidbits to release or people actually ask the questions that we've been asking for so longCimmerian Dragon wrote:^ If nothing else, Edwards should know that he's going to blasted with Godzilla-related questions there. I'm hoping Legendary is smart enough to prepare a few tidbits for him to release.
and cloverfan98 thats why Im hoping we get a little new info at this even next weekend.
The thing i noticed is hes not there to promote a new movie so you would think he would be prepared for questions on Godzilla
I look at this as one of the 2 chances (Legendary at Comic Con in July)we will have this summer where we can ask questions and get a legit idea of where this project is headed and how its shaping up

Re: What News Do You Hope To Be Announced This Year?
How this forum continues to stay active is beyond me. I want something come time the Dark Knight Rises is released. At this point nothing is too soon with this film.
