Godzilla is Coming Back!!

I was watching a movie on the SyFy channel and a commerical for Godzilla 3D came on. I scared my poor husband half to death screaming I was so excited. The ad didn't say when -- just "coming soon". I immediately got on the net and started searching. To my surprise, I didn't find much but I did find the following. I'm just disappointed that it won't happen any sooner. It looks like it's going to be 2010. I love Godzilla movies!

"As first reported early in the year by Blood Disgusting and confirmed today by Variety Online (and several other Hollywood news sites): Warner Brothers and Legendary Productions are making an all new Godzilla film! Apparently Yoshimitsu Banno, the director of Godzilla vs the Smog Monster will serve as one of the executive producers. The article is here

The official press release from Legendary includes quotes from the three key players in the deal.

Thomas Tull, Chairman and CEO of Legendary:

"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."

Hideyuki Takai, President of Toho Co., Ltd.:

"Godzilla is a signature Japanese character which we have nurtured over the years. It is a great honor to reach an agreement with Legendary Pictures, the parent to many a blockbuster film, and we are delighted in rebooting the character together to realize its much anticipated return by fans from all over the world. We are anxious to find out where Godzilla's new stomping will take us."

Jeff Robinov, President, Warner Brothers Pictures Group:

"Godzilla is emblematic of the kind of branded, event films for which Warner Bros. and our partners at Legendary are best known. We have enjoyed a great deal of success together to date and this newest opportunity represents yet another chance for us to collaborate on a property that is very clearly in their wheelhouse."

Waiting For Godzilla

I am a serious Godzilla fan! If you don't know who Godzilla is (I can't imagine) or if you've never seen a Godzilla movie, you can see quite a few of them for free on Crackle. One of my favorites is Son of Godzilla

I've been waiting for years for "Godzilla 3D To The Max" to be released in IMAX Theaters. Is it going to happen?

It was originally going to be out in 2007; then it was delayed until 2009; Even now, there are different reports on the time of release. Some say 2010, others say 2011. Does anybody even know if it's true? Is it just speculation or maybe just a rumor?

When "Godzilla: Final Wars" was released in 2004, it was to celebrate Godzilla's 50th birthday and to retire the Monster (due to poor ticket sales). Then the 3D talk started, and now I hear there may be a remake of "King Kong vs Godzilla". I'm ready for either one to be released! Here's the trailer for 3D to the Max. Is it for real or is it a "fan made clip"?
