Hmm, I actually really quite like that idea - barring what's already been said about Godzilla only REALLY working in a Japanese context, it is interesting.
Whilst Hammer brought the abject, gothic qualities back into Horror Cinema, I nonetheless think that a Hammer Godzilla would primarily be a film about human drama and suggestion - hell, you could quite feasibly never even SEE Godzilla; just his footprints, scenes of destruction, his shadow etc. No doubt he'd have some kind of human worshipper/scientist who works REALLY as the primary antagonist.
I'd love to see Godzilla rising from the North Norfolk coast, though. Passing the Victorian piers of Great Yarmouth and Cromer and destroying the tacky amusements.
