Haha! I literally said the same thing in the article I wrote over at http://skreeonk.com/. I also called it an "Update for an Update".

Check out the article for my opinion on this little news tidbit, if you'd like:

Well thanks Livingcorpse for once understanding my frustrations. I come on this forum often and first take a glimpse at arrows sticky post of official Godzilla 201X news, and basically laugh to myself at the fact that there was only 1 post update from November. And then youtube has that dated Brian Rodgers interview from 2010. So far that's all we have. But don't make no mistake about it, I'm not really whinning about the fact. Just extremely frustrated. Well goodbye for now tohokingdom. Nothing more to post here. But before I hang up I want to give a shout out to tokyovigillante, Legion and Living corpse.

Just some quick thoughts on the 'update.'

I'm happy we got something out of this but at the same time I was hoping for news on when they would begin filming or a script update or just an update on the films progress in general.

I have the feeling that this is all he was aloud to say. Idk why Legendary is holding stuff back. What im disappointed with is that it doesnt seem like anyone asked him any legit ?s like possible release date, filming update or anymore details.


Whats annoying is now all the doom and gloom naysayers will be coming out again. People also need to remember 2012 was never an official set release date just a target one as Brian Rogers said in his interview

I think a target release date means 'official' until there's another target date.

This doesn't really tell us anything more, but at the very end of this article, they say that while at the Kapow! Comic-Con, Gareth also mentioned he has been to Toho, and they were very generous, and "showered him with freebies." Just thought that was interesting because I'm sure he didn't fly there without any ideas for his movie to toss at Toho in person. Here's the article:

What I am taking from all this is that all that they are waiting on is for the script to be completed. Which is why he didnt really release anything new or major is because they are waiting on the script. I'm sure Edwards is having a hand in writing it as well. So if thats the case fine by me because once the script is complete then everything else will come together

im sure theyre planning on doing this as a franchise and not one single movie. Thats probably why we dont have a release date yet because theyre trying to craft a new franchise together and that takes a lot of time for big ones like this and we dont want it rushed obviously.

Im still keeping positive

*sigh*

At this point, I'd rather Legendary's policy be "if you can't say something substantial, then don't say anything at all".
"There's two things you don't know about the Earth. One is me. And the other is... Godzilla."

Link was already posted on the last page, and it doesn't say we will get news soon. It says that he HOPES we get news soon.

Well that was bullshit...

I'm not that disappointed, but then again i honestly wasn't expecting anything big anyways.

An while i'm glad Legendary is taking there time with this project an not just rushing a half-ass film on screen for a quick cash grab, i do find it disappointing that this doesn't seem like a bigger priority at Legendary esp with Batman coming to an end this year.

I hope we don't have to wait another 6 month's before we get anymore news.

I swear he's been saying the same thing every time someone asks him about the film.

Well ''Bloody-Disgusting'' posted pretty much the same article as ''Comic-Book-Movie'' but they also added something else Edward's said which say's they have been working on the script for almost a year an now there (waiting)... Is this waiting for approval from Legendary an Toho or... That much is unclear, you can read below an make your own assumption's.

Gareth Edward's - “Well, we are in the worst part of the whole film making process which is waiting. We spent almost a year working on the script and on different drafts, going back and forth trading emails with the production company and everything. I had this lucky chance of writing with Mark and so I feel like, it’s a strange feeling, because at the same time I feel like a lot has happened, but at the same time I’m so deep in the project…

Link to the article - http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/31440 ... illa-film/

Also ''Shock till you drop'' has mentioned the Edward's interview pretty must asking where the hell is the new Godzilla movie, though nothing new in that article.

Heyy good find there buddy! If thats the case then there is really NOTHING at all for people to freak out about at all. That would set up for a potential announcement soon at either the San Diego or New York comic con or something. Atleast it adds a little more detail to whats all been going on.

GARETH EDWARDS, director of MONSTERS & GODZILLA, @ Kapow! Comic Convention 2012 Part 2

n Part 2, Gareth Edwards explains what it feels like to direct Godzilla, a character with a big story and history. Godzilla will be Gareth's second feature film, and he says that as a director you can't worry too much about exactly what people will think. All films are not created equally but are received equally, so Gareth Edwards wants to concentrate on that audience experience.

Not much but its still something.

Okay... it's fairly obvious at this point that they're working on it. I'd say if we're gonna get something solid it'll be at SDCC.
