So I come home from the first night of AWANA and hit up Twitter. Right when I enter I see some people talking abut a GODZILLA update and that I should be extremely pleased about it. A few moments later I see that the release date has been unveiled. May 16th, 2014. I will admit that I haven't had much optimism in this being released, but now I have a strong confidence. Just check out this snippet from the press release.
Warner Bros. will return the character to its epic roots with a gritty, realistic actioner.Epic roots? Gritty? Realistic actioner? Sounds like everything the 98 film wasn't. You can tell this is going to be ultra series with pretty much no humor, like the original film. Also since MONSTERS is Gareth Edward's only other film, I can see a tone similar to that. Anything else I have to say will just be pure speculation. We'll probably get a trailer with Pacific Rim next year, then the internet will really explode.
Not to be a downer, but you may not be too happy about the realistic part. This means that Godzilla will probably be tough, but not drastically so and may still lose to the humans. Like the 98 film or the 54 film. As long as he roars a lot and pwns for the most part it'll be cool though :)
ReplyDeleteYou're misunderstanding the term 'realistic.' Realistically, not too much can take down the big G. (The Oxygen Destroyer beat Godzilla in the original film.) They're not going to kill off Godzilla in this film, trust me. This will most likely be the start of a new series of films.
DeleteI hope so! Bring on the new Godzilla! :)
