^Yeah...given every rumor swirling around budget-wise ($100-150 million), you don't sink that kind of money into a movie if the intent is to just do a one-off movie...USUALLY.

Legendary wants/needs a new franchise now that they no longer have DC films to count on.

They're looking for SOMETHING to try to help replace all that Batman money.

*Also has his money on the "he won't die, or if he does it'll only be the character who think so and the audience will know better" options*

A bit late, but that was a really great trailer. I loved the slow, dramatic buildup at the start, with the soldiers jumping from above the clouds being a really great way to build tension and anticipation as to what they're actually it is that they're jumping into. Plus for audiences who don't know it's a Godzilla trailer, it's a good way to get them hooked and excited before they realise "oh wait, that's the new Godzilla movie they're making?! That looks really good!" whereas there might have been those who would dismiss something like this just based upon the title alone. So yeah, very cool. Can't wait to see the proper version whenever it comes out.

I'm still not entirely feeling the new roar though. I love the end of it that's all whale-like and the initial 'shriek' to start with, but it still sounds a little weird that it's missing the middle bit, like the real meat of the roar isn't quite there. If it had that middle part it'd be fantastic, but as it stands now it just sounds a little bit little "off" to me (but still good). But hey, I can easily reconcile that as simply being how this particular version of Godzilla sounds. And honestly, if that ends up being my biggest complaint with the film (that's if the roar even ends up sounding exactly like it does in the teaser anyway), then I'll be a very happy viewer indeed!

There's a 100% chance this movie is being made with the intention of launching a franchise. Ergo, I highly doubt they're going to kill the monster. Unless they're stupid (see GINO). And even that picture ended with the possibility of a sequel.

However, if it bombs, then yes, that pretty much destroys the chance of a sequel. Though with the blossoming of international markets, a "bomb" isn't what it used to be. Heck, isn't there talk of a Pacific Rim sequel, based on what it made internationally?

That Gigan picture is terrifying.

They made a sequel to Clash of the Titans.
Because people were demanding that be made.

I think it looks wonderful.

While nothing is inevitable, the reason I have faith in this picture's box office success is it seems urgent. You know what I mean? Like something you have to see in theaters. An "event" picture. Everything we've seen suggests that. And I don't think that's just the fan in me talking.

GINO left a bad taste in the pop culture's mouth – fan and non-fan alike. Even people who don't really know the character, know that GINO wasn't it by a long shot. I feel like once they see the trailer, the reaction will be "Wow...that looks pretty cool."

My only concern is it's scheduling. May 16 is kind of an awkward date anyway, and it's a week before what appears to be a huge X-Men sequel. But hey, if people want to see a movie, they'll see a movie.
