I would love for Landis to write the script AND direct the next film.

I posted my thoughts on TK about this, but I'll also write what I think here.

-My biggest gripe with the first film, while I still really loved it, was that Godzilla kind of turned into a supporting character. I would've preferred if, say, he had showed up, everyone freaked, attacked him, and then realized that the reason why he showed up was because the Government was hiding the Mutos that they discovered 15 years prior or something. That way we'd get more focus and emphasis on Godzilla, and not on the Mutos as much. Plus, there were never any real signs that he was going to show up, just Ken Watanabe explaining what he was, that they tried to kill him in the 50's, and that he believed Godzilla would bring balance. Then out of nowhere, halfway through the film, he pops up. Now I didn't really CARE for an explanation, after all we're talking about a Godzilla film here, but it would've been nice.

-I would like to see him be more "careless". Since there are so many comparisons to the Gamera trilogy, I'd like to see him take a similar path. While I don't think Godzilla was a "good guy" in this film, he definitely wasn't the villain. Now, I don't want him to be a villain, but remember that scene in Gamera 3 where he blasts the living hell out of the two Gyaos and, as a result, hundreds(maybe even thousands) of people were incinerated? Yeah, that's what I mean by careless. Where he's just like, "hey! I got "OH GODZILLA! WHAT TERRIBLE LANGUAGE!" to do, GTFO of my way!!!" and just walks through everyone.


-Also, while I really would like to see classic monsters in this series, I would prefer if they changed their stories up a bit to fit the tone and style of the universe. I think characters like Rodan or Anguirus are okay, because you can explain them as other ancient creatures from that time period. But something like Mothra or King Ghidorah? I think Deity and aliens would be a little out of place. Instead of having an eternal god-like moth, with two fairies, perhaps do something like an ancient, highly intelligent type of giant moth that senses a threat in Godzilla, who happens to exist on an island with a tribe who is run my a weird supernatural, paranormal, voodoo type twin women or something. Something a little darker. That way you keep the general idea of Mothra and the twins, but you don't go look-for-look.

I have to agree that some kaiju seem more plausible in the current G universe than others. Rodan, Anguirus, Baragon, Gorosaurus, Titanosaurus and others would be easy to explain because their prehistoric origins coincide with Godzilla's. Others like Kumonga (Speiga), Kamacharas and even Hedorah could be explained as mutations. Mothra with twin fairies is a hard pill to swallow. King Ghidorah is another one unless he remains true to his origins. Also, what's the logic in creating a weapon that looks like Godzilla when all that is needed is a machine that can meet the same needs. While some kaiju would easily fit in, others are far-fetched.

I think the Godzilla bones would be an indication that we'd probably get a Kiryu type MechaGodzilla. But I agree that it would kind of bring up the question as to why they didn't just build some kind of giant super cannon or something.

Just sh*t my pants, but that's okay... cause they're covered in fanboy essence. Edwards needs to dump Star Wars and get his ass working on this...

We're getting a GHIDORAH THE THREE HEADED MONSTER reboot. I hope there are no fairies though...

Now that is some news to wake up to! Rodan, Mothra AND King Ghidorah in the sequel! I'm surprised they didn't save Ghidorah for Godzilla 3 to be honest but even so, that's freaking awesome news! :D
