An epic rebirth to Toho's iconic Godzilla, this spectacular adventure, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, pits the world's most famous monster against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity's scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence.




Gareth Edwards directs Godzilla, which stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass), Oscar® nominee Ken Watanabe (The Last Samurai, Inception), Elizabeth Olsen (Martha Marcy May Marlene), Oscar® winner Juliette Binoche (The English Patient, Cosmopolis), and Sally Hawkins (Blue Jasmine), with Oscar® nominee David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck., The Bourne Legacy) and Bryan Cranston (Argo, TV's Breaking Bad).

Woot!
This is easily my #1 most anticipated movie of the year.

I love me some comic book superheroes....but a seriously toned Godzilla movie? Nothings topping that for me.

Dear God please dont dissapoint.

But I'm curious, if Godzilla is going to fight another monster is he the good guy?
Gamera623
Gamera623 - 4/22/2014, 7:21 AM
I hope they do it right and there is no good guy.
Just 2 monsters attacking each other and neither one gives a fig about humanity.
Just like in Godzilla Raids Again.

Happy to know that they are open to sequels, but I'm even more satisfied that they are just focusing solely on this one movie, just focus on Godzilla's origin story from beginning to end. A complete story. And if it's successful, THEN open the flood gates for a sequel.

Can't wait for GODZILLA!!!!

OK, my original comment:

"Without reading/watching this I'm gonna go ahead and say they took a grounded, gritty and realistic approach to the story? Like how would the world really react to these creatures?"

And I was completely wrong. Listening to them talk, it sounds like they totally get it. They didn't throw around those typical buzz terms. They talked from the heart.

Yeah, it really looks like they got it right this time. It gives me hope for Fantastic Four. So, we got like tens years or so left on that?

Agreed on Interstellar and Godzilla.
Id also say Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

Never heard of Secret Service...I must do research. :)

Besides, I hope that if it comes to a sequel, he'll use IMAX. Godzilla seems like he was made for the IMAX format! Or is it the other way around……

I thought Edwards had already said that the sequel would be a remake of DESTROY ALL MONSTERS?
