The 38-year-old filmmaker from Pontypool went from a shoestring sci-fi debut with a £10,000 budget to the $160m most hotly anticipated film of the year

So Godzilla 2014's roar was actually created with a contrabass, a leather glove, and pitching around the sound digitally. You don't fix what ain't broken. Nice.

EVERY SINGLE THING that this man is saying leads me to believe that, unlike a lot of directors who pay lipservice and SAY that they're fans of whatever character they're making a movie of... Gareth Edwards absolutely, truly IS a diehard Godzilla fan. The fact that he & his crew went to such lengths to actually attempt a faithful recreation of that iconic roar just stuns me. They didn't just sample the old one or dump it in favor of creating their own take because it would be just so much more radial cool, etc., etc. They went out and bought a double bass, got a leather glove and went and did what Ifukube did 60 years ago! That is just frickin' AWESOME!! I cannot describe how overjoyed that makes me feel.

The farther forward we go into this, the more I believe that it will be one of the best entries in the entire franchise, and that the four fathers of Godzilla must be looking down from heaven and smiling upon Edwards and his crew. Someone finally seems to GET this. I try not to get my hopes up because they've been dashed before. Hard. But I cannot help getting as giddy as a schoolboy with each new article, photo, clip and piece of info I encounter regarding this film. Geez... am I the only older adult male here who is quickly regressing back into a happy little seven year-old boy again???

Thanks for posting the link to this clip. Lots of fun stuff. Well worth the 10mins to watch.

The trailer review with Edwards was great. You can tell how much he cares about the film. Too bad it's not May :/

Here here. This movie sounds like its gonna rock! Damn I can't wait for the merchandise to start showing up.

Ya know I can't really blame people for thinking Rodan is in it when he says the origami birds are foreshadowing something. . For a minute I second guessed myself but realized it would be absolutely impossible for that to be hidden. Someone would of blabbed.

Edwards seems like a nice humble guy but I'll reserve judgement until after the movie.

So, somewhere, I saw someone mis-read a quote from Edwards as him claiming that the Toho films would be in this universe.

He clears that up and leaves NO DOUBTS. He basically says, "There are monster movies, our main character when he's a child has a monster movie poster in his room...but there's never been Godzilla before."

A Japanese monster movie at that. The way Edwards stated his response I would assume it will be a ficticious movie. Still a possibility it will be an old non-Godzilla Toho favorite though.

Just how hard is it to design an icon that's endured for 60 years?
