IGN has interviewed Gareth Edwards; director of Monsters and director of Legendary Pictures' upcoming Godzilla movie. Sadly, the director doesn't reveal much outside his feelings toward the character, his legacy and mentioning that his favorite film with the monster is the original Godzilla. That said, the director has mostly been silent since landing the directing position and this does finally grant some insight into his thoughts.


The film will come out next year.

People will be disapointed if there is no "bad guy" monster for this one to fight with, especially after the losuy remake they did with Jean Reno and Ferris Bueller.

I DUNNO WHAT EVERYONE ELSE LIKES..BUT WHAT I LIKE OR WOULD LOVE TO SEE IN A GODZILLA FILM..

MAKE HIM LOOK LIKE THE ORIGINAL-



-DONT MAKE A FREAKING JURRASIC PARK LOOKING CREATURE, BE LOYAL TO THE SOURCE MATERIAL, THAT LOOK LASTED FOR GENERATIONS, SURE YOU CAN TWEEK IT ALLITTLE TO BRING IT TO TODAY, BUT CHANGE IT TOO MUCH AND YOU WILL HAVE SHOWN TRUE STUPIDITY, ARE YOU MAKING IT FOR YOURSELF OR THE FANS?


MONSTER FIGHTS-



-THE LAST ONE SUCKED, SERIOUSLY SUCKED..BIG MONSTER LAYING EGGS, JURRASIC PARK, IT WAS BS. WHAT I LIKED IN THE MAJORITY OF GODZILLA FILMS WAS GODZILLA, THE HERO, KICKING BAD GUY MONSTER ASS, WETHER IT WAS BAD ALIENS CONTROLLING THEM TO CONQUER THE EARTH OR WHAT, GIVE US THAT. ITS LIKE WATCHING A BOXING MATCH ON PAY PER VIEW, THATS SOMETHING I'LL PAY TO SEE..SURE GODZILLA WRECKING EVERYTHING IS SOMETHING, BUT ITS PREDICTABLE, NOBODY WANTS TO SEE PREDICTABLE.

GODZILLA BREATHING FREAKING SUPER DUPER FLAMES...



..ITS GODZILLA, ITS PART OF THE APPEAL, LEAVE THIS OUT LIKE THEY DID IN THE LAST ONE AND YOU ARE TRULY A LOST DIRECTOR..

DO NOT, DO NOT DO IT LIKE THE LAST ONE..



..GODZILLA DRY HUMPING A SKYSCRAPER WAS RETARDED...STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING LIKE IT OR I'LL SLAP YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT LOVES GODZILLA WILL SLAP YOU......HARD.

@Destroyer

As much as I like Gigan I dont wont him in this movie, it would screw the plot up to much. Hes a cyborg monster from outer space with claws for arms and a buzzsaw on his chest... It just wouldnt work.

Photobucket I wanna see this!!! And a King Kong vs Big G would be stupid. The shortest Godzilla's ever measured in at is 167ft tall, way bigger than a 25ft tall gorilla covered in flammable hair. G would squish him cook himand eat him.

@ mizeatwizad52 - I want that model!!! And that Godzilla in a movie (against anybody or any thing) would be completely and entirely crazy!

That first close-up would freak the hell out of people in the theater!
