It's self-published through "CreateSpace." Figures.

Oh, that thing. I tried watching it, and some of the FXs are interesting in a "oh, look what anyone can do these days" kind of way. But the pretentious dialog and the overall serious tone made it zero fun. It's a good example (to me anyway) that fans really don't know what works. They use adjectives to describe their perfect Godzilla film. Like, I want a "serious" film, or I want a "heavy" Godzilla film. What does this mean? They can say these things because they are just sitting around. It's entirely a different thing to stand up in front of a crew of professionals and say, "we are going to make a film where people feel the power of Godzilla." This isn't tangible. It's like a political speech that makes you feel good when listening, but when you walk away you have no idea what you're supposed to do with it.

Like with this "book" / "script"... it just goes to show that "true fans" should not be allowed to work in the field of their obsession. Sorry to have to say this...

In fact, I have a story where a Japanese writer doing a big piece on Godzilla was banned from the set for two-weeks for being too otaku. In the film world, passion for filmmaking is a must, not insane passion for the thing.

Hope this posts makes sense...

^ I'm sure Universal doesn't give a rats ass. If this thing was made into a feature length film, then they will probably get involved. But considering its a self published book that only 12 people are going to read, why would they care?

The same thing applies to Banglar King Kong. Its some Bengladish King Kong movie that steals footage from the 1976 remake (without Studio Canal's permission. They own the rights to that film after they purchased Dino De Laurentis' film library). The Merian C Cooper estate would have a bigger case since they own the rights to the King Kong story. But again outside of maybe 30 people in Bengladish (a country that isn't even on most peoples radar) why would they bother? I'm sure Universal, Cooper's estate and even Studio Canal aren't even aware of that film.

I do not want to go into details at this point, and may never do so. But I strongly suggest to anyone who reads this to not engage at all with this person. Don't reply to his recent spate of emails. Do not even leave a tag or a review for the book on Amazon, because he can apparently see who left it and track them down. And try to create quite a headache for you in the process. Something is not right with this man.

Note that I did not say "don't buy the book". That's up to you. But the last thing you want to do is have or risk any contact with him. Trust me on this.
