Godzilla
The movie company Warner Brothers.. in conjunction with Legendary Pictures.. now have the rights to make a Godzilla movie. Unlike the disaster of the Tri-Star/SONY Pictures film in 1998.. aptly named Godzilla, which more or less was an environmental film about a marine iguana that not only survives the atomic tests conducted by the French during the 1950's at the Bikini Atoll in the Pacific.. but mutates into a 60 meter tall, nest seeking.. egg laying.. tuna eating..tunnel digging..seemingly harmless..army evading.. building wrecking.. ugly giant lizard.As a Godzilla film.. it sucked. If they had called it a Giant Behemoth remake.. it would have been way more successful. As for the task that Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures have of breathing new life into a name that is legendary.. it is very important to note.. there is no room for failure. Godzilla has to be portrayed for he is.. a monster. Terror and horror should be the theme for this movie. Godzilla has to be Epic.. although fictional.. the movie needs to make the audience feel like they are there on the ground experiencing the presence of a gigantic beast that scares the hell out of them.
This movie should have actors in it that can bring the storyline of the movie to the audience in a way that is believable. Godzilla must be a supernatural force. Godzilla must be at the least..240 meters tall. He must have a roar that shatters glass and that can be heard for miles.. like that of a train horn.. only louder. He must be radio active.. people die when he gets too close. others get radiation sickness. Godzilla must be seen for more than 10 minutes throughout the entire movie..as was the case in the Cloverfield movie. This movie should be done with the up most attention to detail... and should be filmed the right way.. instead of a blair witch style approach. Should this new venture into bringing Godzilla back into a serious entertaining horror/sci-fi/fantasy film succeed.. it will forever cement Godzilla as the greatest movie monster ever spawned. However.. if it fails.. due to a bad storyline.. or bad creature design.. or bad actors and directors.. or all the above.. then the name of Godzilla will forever be touted as a B - budget character and only the die hard fans will be the ones who will scream the loudest... SHAME ON YOU HOLLYWOOD.. SHAME ON YOU WARNER BROTHERS AND LEGENDARY PICTURES. I am confident that as one of those die hard fans.. that this time.. it will get the right treatment. I am sure Warner Brothers Pictures will not want a big budget flop. In my opinion Warner Brothers has always been about entertainment... and for them.. Godzilla has to succeed.
Godzilla has the potential to be bigger than.. and needs to be more successful than Titanic, The Avengers, Transformers - Dark of the Moon, Avatar, The Dark Knight, Star Wars, and Spiderman. A good tag line for Godzilla would be.. terror incarnate. As for the lead actor.. I would choose Scott Bakula. He is a quality actor and I believe he would fit right in. Jeri Ryan would be a great supporting actress. Denzel Washington would be a great choice for best supporting actor. I believe the three of them would have great chemistry and do the new Godzilla movie great justice. Of coarse this is all my opinion.. but a dark theme with these actors and one gigantic monster and a whole lot of death and destruction..(example) cruise ship loaded with people gets attacked and destroyed. Now.. how epic would that be ? If you're making a horror film.. that's huge.. and that's only one scene. Fans of Godzilla.. I encourage you to send Warner Brother e-mails and hand written letters.. telling them.. do not disappoint us.
