Above, the original 1954 Godzilla.Legendary Pictures To Produce Godzilla Flick?
Monster Island News* is reporting that Legendary Pictures announced that they are planning to produce a Godzilla movie.
The article states that it is unclear whether the producers are going with the Sony/TriStar version (also known as GINO) or the iconic Japanese version (or come up with something completely new). The original source for this news was from Bloody Disgusting.com.

This would be good news for G-fans if this is true, but we've heard similar reports before and so fans are, understandably, skeptical.

UPDATE: I spoke with Toho and their comment was, "No comment!" They are exploring a number of possibilities and cannot comment at this time. You can read into that what you will.
This I can tell you, I made the comment that "someone let the cat out of the bag" at Legendary Pictures and this was met with good laughter on the other end of the phone line with Toho. I also got a good chuckle out of it.
Something is definitely up.
WHAT THE!
ReplyDeleteSeems interesting enough. Gonna write a letter to this company.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if I should even care. There's a chance this might not even be made. History shows that terms "Godzilla" and "unmade project" go together like peanut butter and jelly.
ReplyDeleteAnd what do you think writing a letter is going to accomplish, Evan?
Mike Russo, once the film get's green lit, I think that a "good luck" letter would be nice. After all, even if logic says that Legacy would not do something with Godzilla unless they thought he was bankable, they are still taking a chance. Extra support should always be encouraged...
