What a tease.

It's still kind of neat to see this thing starting up.

Oh look, actual news to talk about.

lol.

Well it looks like things are finally kicking off and we can finally begin to see something tangible from this project. Though its early days in the production of Godzilla I think we're bound to see some more dramatic set pieces and on-location photos soon enough. Though by the end of the year I will be more excited to see some post-production news and some designs of the creature. I just hope they won't choose to hide the new Legendary Godzilla design as long as Sony did with Emmerich's "Godzilla".

This was brought up in the Pac Rim thread, but I too would like to see, if Godzilla is a known entity from the get go, as if he has appeared and they've been dealing with him for years, the environmental impact of his destruction.

We know from G:KOTM that they showed people that suffered radiation poisoning, and considering the tone and story of "Monsters" I could see some type of semi-apocalyptic view of the world.

Places that battles have taken place, now closed off because of contamination. It's as I would have liked to seen explored by Toho, cities destroyed and barricaded off, uninhabitable places. The only real evidence we saw from Godzilla's rampages was in GvBiollante the building made out of a footprint in the concrete roof. Otherwise as many times as they were destroyed (and I know Tokyo was not the only battleground) evidence should exist. So beyond the big problem of battling an indestructible creature(s) you have places that are off limits for decades at least.

That would most certainly give a realistic feel, to see a ghost city of sorts, blast marks from Godzilla's breath that would most certainly contaminate everything it comes in contact with and perhaps even those that are contaminated themselves banished to these areas. Grim? Perhaps, but realistic? No doubt.

Δ This. I don't know about the previous attacks part but the rest for sure.
To be realistic to me this movie needs to show death and destruction.
Death and destruction in the myriad of ways that a 300' tall, walking,
radiation spewing, unshielded nuclear reactor can cause.

Now that filming is underway, does it make sense to think about closing this thread? I like to come to this forum to see some quick headlines on development, but it turns out I usually have to slog through the comments in this thread to find anything interesting.

I guess the question is, what's the line between making a general comment in this thread, vs making a different topic, vs taking something in this thread and highlighting it for its own discussion.

Thoughts?
