The only motivation Toho would have to make another one is if they had something new and improved to show. If this American Godzilla turns out to be the success I think it will, that will leave very little room for improvement. The only reasons for Godzilla's return in the past two series was to celebrate the 30th with an installment and to put the character back on track after the "derailment" in '98. Also, Japan as a whole might be a little burnt out on giant monsters right now which kills any prospect for a Toho produced Godzilla film.

I'm not expecting a new Japanese Godzilla anytime SOON...but I really have a hard/impossible time believing there will never be one ever again. The only way that happens is if suitmation disappears COMPLETELY....it's like the same reason I don't think Star Trek will ever be 100% dead and gone or James Bond for that matter...the character is far too iconic for the creators to just throw up their hands and say "no mas."

Even if that means we never get another Godzilla film SERIES, I don't think it means we'll never ever ever get another Godzilla film. I could see Toho turning Godzilla into an anniversary machine. 75th, 100th, 125th, 150th...just to remind people he's there.

Wasn't the basic concept for the Jan De Bont Godzilla film basically used in the Gamera Trilogy? Is there a connection at all?

Man, I never thought i'd see the day when the giant monster genre was almost dead in Japan. It saddens me to see the current state of what used to be its biggest property (Godzilla) now. Tsuburaya is definitely doing something right with the Ultraman franchise that Toho isn't with Godzilla. One thing I will say though. I always thought it would've been a good idea to star Godzilla in a TV series sometime after the events of GvsD '95. Agree? Disagree?

If Toho isn't gonna get real serious about making these types of movies, then I'd rather they just not do anything.

Just a real quick question. If the giant monster genre and such aren't popular over there anymore, what is?

Typical blockbuster fare.

I think we've come to the point where the merchandise is more popular than the films that spawned them. The only problem is with family necessities as they are, I can't afford the burdensome costs any more.
