Should Hollywood make a found footage Godzilla movie?

With the popularity of found footage films rising, I think it'd be good to have a found-footage Godzilla film. Here's how it could go if they did this?

4 college students go to Tokyo for summer vacation. But, their vacation turns into a nightmare the night Godzilla attacks the city. Can they survive? It is a pretty good idea to me. The movie would be told in a human-scale and perspective, something absent in most Godzilla movies. And the Godzilla and destruction effects would be CGI! It would be 10 TIMES cooler than Cloverfield.

What do you think?

An interesting idea but i think that would only cheapen the legacy of Godzilla by making it gimmicky and trendy

I really enjoy the found footage concept, I'm just a bit tired of it being used as an excuse to get away with sloppy/ lazy camera work. It's mostly the over use of the shaky cam technique that is becoming annoying in found footage movies, for me anyway.
