Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. are teaming up to bring Godzilla back to the big screen in 2012. The companies aim to kick off a new Godzilla franchise that will hopefully take the world by storm. According to The Hollywood Reporter:
Everyone’s favorite gigantic, havoc-wreaking lizard, Godzilla, is on his way back to the big screen via Legendary Pictures, which has acquired the rights to develop and produce a new feature based on the iconic Toho Co. character. Warner Bros. will co-produce, co-finance and distribute through its deal with Legendary, and Toho will roll out the film in Japan.
I am absolutely thrilled by this development. When I was a kid, Godzilla, Reggie Jackson, and Muhammad Ali were my favorite people in the world. I was crushed to learn that one of them wasn’t real. Still, my Godzilla mark-dom has lasted for decades — despite that crappy movie starring Matthew Broderick. (That movie should be treated like Rocky V — it never happened.)
Anyone else psyched for Godzilla spewing his radioactive breath on the big screen in 2012?
well I guess the world is coming to an end in 2012
Meh.
wait… Are you saying Reggie Jackson isn't real?!?!?!
I knew it!
I would love to see Godzilla have a proper reboot. As long it's not a shaky cam version like Cloverfield and they have people pointing and running from Godzilla i'm in!
I'll admit it, I used to watch Godzilla all the time growing up.
Three things I love are coming back,
1. This
2. Rage Against the Machine got back together
3. Ninja Turtles are coming out with a live action in like 2011, I saw the announcement the other day.
No, not interested. I also think the tards who green-lit this damn reboot need to be waterboarded until they admit they’re wrong.
@smartguy I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss it. Legendary was behind the Batman reboot and The Hangover.
@Ray
I’m just tired of reimaginings or reboots. They remake a 10 or 20 year old movie with new special effects and a few writing tweaks. I just don’t like the practice.
@Arguello
Are you serious?? RATM got back together?? I can’t believe I missed this somehow!! I’ve been listening to my Nightwatchmen album, Zach de la Rocha’s solo album, and audioslave in the meantime. I can’t wait for another album now.
@bsukenyan
slow down now, renegades sucked ass
everything else was amazing, i love me some old ratm, but renegades was awful
@Thundercracker
Renegades was not their best work, I liked the idea and a couple of the songs. But it was not as good compared to their other albums. I am still excited for them to come back. I really like Zach de la Rocha’s style and I love Tom Morello’s guitar playing.
