Godzilla used to be awesome. The original films set the standard for monster disaster movies. Then they started sucking. Then Roland Emmerich made one. Needless to say, Godzilla has been absent for the last 12 years. But he’s back! Legendary Pictures (The Dark Knight, 300) has acquired the rights to make a new American Godzilla that may or may not suck. From the press release:
Legendary Pictures announced today that they will develop and produce a new film based on Toho Company’s famed GODZILLA character. Through the terms of the agreement, Legendary Pictures has acquired the rights to produce a movie inspired by Toho’s Godzilla, a franchise the Japanese company created and has nurtured for over fifty years.
Well if the original producers are working on it, it has to be a hit right? It worked for Indiana Jones 4! We’ll pause our hating for now and wait, extra patiently, for the new version.
