please tell me that this Godzilla will be bullet and missile proof instead of one that somehow manages to outrun them despite all kinds of advanced targeting systems, and that he looks something like this:

and also please tell me that Matthew Broderick will not be in this film.

I don't think we've gotten a good enough look at him to know that yet.

This is actually a different trailer than the one that leaked before.

This is the teaser that was leaked.

I think I liked the leaked one better but this new one certainly got me excited!

The comic-con teaser was also leaked, but so was an early version the latest one, as far back as October.

So, a new book came out and we learned so much, and it is called, “Anguilosaurus, Killer of the Living”.

 I don't know, that one kinda looks like Zilla instead of Godzilla.   I did like the inclusion of the audio of J Robert Oppenheimer, physicist that helped create the Atom bomb.  The Atom bomb is what inspired the original movie.

But what if it is another Zilla movie instead of a Godzilla movie?

That trailer has more emotion, wonder and awesomeness than 'Zilla had during it's entire run time. I already know enough and have seen enough to know we won't be dealing with another one of those. Toho is releasing the film in Japan, so that's a sure sign that it's not another 'Zilla. Frank Daranbonts involvement alone has my butt in the seat. There's no guarantee it won't suck, but it has a lot going for it.

 Actually it was the film THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS. They took that concept and turned it into an allegory for the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The problem with Zilla or GINO (Godzilla In Name Only) as I like to call him as he doesn't even deserve the zilla. Was that Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin decided to create an homage to classic American monster movies using a Japanese monster. It was a decent monster movie but it was not a Godzilla film in any way.

In fact, it's pretty much just a remake of BEAST with a different title. There are a number of scenes directly lifted straight from the 1953 classic.

and just what destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki????   One other thing I think inspired the original Godzilla the incident of the Daigo Fukuryu Maru.

Actually all these giant monster on the rampage movies have their origins in Lovecraft who inspired Edgar Wallace to invent Kong when he reported the brief awakening of this snoozing giant.

 ah yes, I remember that series.   I once made the thing they used to call Gozilla out of legos when I was a kid.

I would just like to say that I loved the animated series that spun off from the '98 film as a kid, and I'd love to revisit it someday.

The film itself, though ... meh.

The trailer, which was leaked in various circles before, has been officially released today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjKO10hKtYw

 

 The music in that is a piece called Lux Aeterna.  Fantasic music.  Written in 1966.

On-topic: Never had a strong opinion on Godzilla one way or another.  I'm sure I'll see this though.
