Godziller

"Godzilla is one of the world's most powerful pop culture icons, and we at Legendary are thrilled to be able to create a modern epic based on this long-loved Toho franchise. Our plans are to produce the Godzilla that we, as fans, would want to see. We intend to do justice to those essential elements that have allowed this character to remain as pop-culturally relevant for as long as it has."

I remain carefully optimistic. The last American made Godzilla film had all the makings of a classic. The hype was incredible and the movie made a lot of money off the idea... Unfortunately the movie itself was pretty terrible and uninspired and as a Godzilla film, there was next to nothing that resembled Godzilla. Of course, that was really before Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich had been exposed as the hacks that they are.

3D could be the perfect forum for Godzilla. However it'll need to resemble the classic Godzilla movies both in scale and scope, not rely too much on CGI and most importantly feature other monsters.
