Really, aside from GMK how easy would it have been to make the rest of those movies in the same (loose) continuity?
Benjamin Haines wrote:I think that if we look at the current Godzilla franchise output as a whole, what we're seeing right now is an actual, legitimate series of 'alternate universe' Godzilla movies. It's a series that consists of three distinct 'universes' of Godzilla movies (so far), each produced by a different team of studios.2014 - Godzilla produced by Legendary and Warner Bros.
2016 - Shin Godzilla produced by Toho and Cine Bazar
2017 - Godzilla: Monster Planet produced by Toho and Polygon Pictures
2019 - Godzilla: King of the Monsters produced by Legendary and Warner Bros.
2020 - Godzilla vs. Kong produced by Legendary and Warner Bros.
20XX - Godzilla: Monster Planet 2 produced by Toho and Polygon Pictures
20XX - Godzilla: Monster Planet 3 produced by Toho and Polygon Pictures
Unlike the Millennium Series, which left each distinct continuity behind for good when it moved on to the next one, this new 'alternate universes' series has us weaving in and out of the various continuities depending on the year. It's awesome, and we're just getting started!
lhb412 wrote:I suppose we'll know to just what extent we'll be weaving when we find out the schedule that the three animated films will be released. If they come out one a year then the third film will come out between King of the Monsters and vs. Kong, or maybe the schedule will be more compressed?

Return to Shin Godzilla and Beyond!
