Snowden's Water Cooler

Seems a little lazy to me.

What do you mean lazy.

I remember an interview with Del Toro during the making of Pacific Rim, where he stated that he had been in touch with Edwards and the Godzilla crew in regards to the destruction of public landmarks.

The Godzilla people asked him to leave one certain landmark alone, because they wanted to destroy it in their movie.

So judging from the leaked script snippet above, I would have to assume this was NOT the golden gate bridge, as we now see it destroyed in both films.

However, I don't recall seeing any other notable landmarks destroyed in Pacific Rim, so possibly:

1. Pac Rim won the bridge from Godzilla in negotiations, and the scene above has been altered for the final film, or
2. Del Toro just ignored their request outright. In which case, it would be bizarre for him to even be mentioning it.

*EDIT*

Found it here:



"DEADLINE: Will you be involved in Legendary’s Godzilla remake?

DEL TORO: No, we made it a point so far not to discuss that. Our conversations are limited to this. We were planning a sequence on Pacific Rim and when I described it to Thomas Tull, there was a landmark involved and he said, that one is taken in Godzilla. You have to guarantee me you won’t stomp, burn or destroy X, because Godzilla’s already doing that."

Thats kind of cool to hear that directors of two different movies get together like that. As much as I would've loved a nod to Godzilla in Pacific Rim or vice versa, they are two completely different movies. As much as I really enjoyed Pacific Rim, I don't think in the long run it will have a sequel, or 28 of them for that matter. Really two different calibers within the genre.

[Ernesth100]

Are we counting GINO?

Haven't thought about the landmark collaboration in a while.
Since we know that The Golden Gate Bridge wasn't what they were talking about that leaves
The Transamerica Building & Alcatraz Island in the San Francisco Bay area as obvious choices.
I think they may have been talking about Hawaii and or Pearl Harbor though. Would have been a logical choice for a PR kaiju to make landfall.

Technically, we didn't see the Golden Gate Bridge destroyed in Pacific Rim, we saw it attacked, but the scene cut out before we saw the whole thing go down. Going by the script snippet, we'll see Godzilla destroy the whole thing. No cutaways.

[Bluejira]

Regardless how you view Trespasser and the GGB. Attack or destruction it would seem to be eliminated as the landmark in discussion between Del Toro and Tull.

You know what I can't wait to see in this movie? Godzilla's breath. We know it'll be in the movie this time. Think about it, the first time Godzilla's breath rendered with Hollywood budget. I can't wait to see how they'll handle it.

It's the Trans America building for sure.

[Bluejira]

Snowden what does the scene set in Hawaii look like. Day time night time etc?

[Ernesth100]

Wonder what Snowdens doing?

[Bluejira]

[Ernesth100]

Oh, good geuss.

[Snowdenzilla]

Well, I'm thought I had posted a pretty decent dissection of why the new leaks don't really seem like they'd work with what's already been confirmed- but I guess my iphone screwed up again and the post didn't go through.

I'll log on a little later and go through it again. The third muto thing is so bogus.

[HannibalBarca]

[Ernesth100]

Busted

[Snowdenzilla]

Well, I guess that saves me some time then.

Carry on, then.

Also, did you guys see the new promo art? I was never convinced of the "gills" thing until now. They're definitely visible.
