New Godzilla Movie To Be Made With A Guy In A Rubber Suit?


It's funny to think of anyone being afraid of the old Japanese Godzilla movies. Sure, the thought of a giant monster destroying a city isn't pleasant, but the low-budget rubber suits make the films look comical by modern standards.

Roland Emmerich tried to fix this by going with an entirely CGI beast in his 1998 version, but hardcore fans were unhappy with the design and the movie surrounding the monster was complete crap. Fortunately rumors now say that the next American-made Godzilla movie won't be making the same mistakes.

InfamousKidd is reporting from an unnamed inside source that the next project in the long-living franchise will feature a man in a rubber suit. As a result of Emmerich's failures, Toho Company, the studio that owns the rights to the character, is being much stricter about how the monster is being brought back to the big screen.

According to the rumor, the costume will have an animatronic head touch-ups will be done with CGI in post-production. As for the design of the creature, Hector A. Arce - an artist best known for his creature/fantasy sculpture - has been hired by Legendary to design the new look. Apparently the studio was impressed by Arce's previous Godzilla design (see an image of it HERE) so one can guess that the new version will look something like that.

Before you get too excited, it should be known that it may be a while before the movie actually goes into production.

The site says that Gareth Edwards, who was hired to direct the new project earlier this year, is secretly working on a project described as "robot Star Wars" and Godzilla has taken a backseat as a result.

David Goyer, best known for his work on the Christopher Nolan Batman films, was hired to pen the script in July.

Im actually happy about this and am excited for it especially with David Goyer writing the script. Hopefully it will be good.

Frank Darabont Rewriting Gareth Edwards' 'Godzilla,' But Film Hit By Producer Infighting

"The Shawshank Redemption," "The Mist" and "The Walking Dead" writer/director Frank Darabont is coming on board to do a final rewrite on the movie.

The original script, by Max Borenstein, has already seen "Iron Man 3" scribe Drew Pearce do some tweaks, but it seems that Darabont might be more involved. Last we heard, the characters were being aged up as the script went out for casting, but it remains unclear what Darabont will be tinkering with. With the logline under wraps, we'll just have to sit tight and see.

Meanwhile, it looks like conflict might be looming between producers and the production company Legendary. Apparently Dan Lin and Roy Lee, who shepherded the project, are being ousted by Legendary who are exercising the pay or play option on their contracts after they refused to take lowered fees on the gig. They would get no credit on the movie, with Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni and Brian Rogers getting their names on the scroll. Lin and Lee are peeved, and there are inklings this might go to court, but given Lin's longtime relationship with Warner Bros. ("Gangster Squad" is one of his projects), we'd wager the studio might try and patch things up, as they don't want to bad buzz to hit a movie that hasn't shot yet.

All that aside, everything else looks all systems go. "Godzilla" stomps into theaters on May 26, 2014.

Production Begins on GODZILLA; Ken Watanabe Joins Cast

Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures announced today that filming has begun in Vancouver on director Gareth Edwards’ (Monster) new Godzilla film.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, and Juliette Binoche lead a cast that also includes David Strathairn and Bryan Cranson. Additionally, the press release notes that Ken Watanabe has now joined the film as well.

Though plot details are firmly under wraps, we know from the film’s brief Comic-Con appearance last year that Edwards is taking a grounded, realistic approach to the classic monster. His take attempts to answer the question, “What would it be like if all of this really happened?”

Edwards is working from a screenplay by Max Borenstein, Frank Darabont, and Dave Callaham.

Godzilla opens in 3D on May 16, 2014.

So far it definitely looks better than 98 version but the glimpse of the shape of Godzilla's face looks kinda same.
