Just leaked, a new teaser trailer

Nice.

[Guest John Hancock]

I'm down. I like the respectful touches to the original, like the Japanese painted writing, the nuclear bomb references and giving him a really good noise. This is the sort of remake or reboot I can get on board with.

[DC 536]

When I watched the teaser, the first thing I said to myself was "at least they've got the roar right".

[Guest John Hancock]

Exact same thing I thought. All lazy remake cynicism was gone when I heard that noise.

[Guest The Beltster]

Man, lets hope Godzookie is in it!

[Guest John Hancock]

Guillermo del Toro has already put his hat into the ring for Godzilla vs. Pacific Rim as the sequel. I approve, the world's ready for big budget monster movies again.

[Guest Jamster26]

Is this a follow on from the original Godzilla film?

[Guest John Hancock]

Seeing that Godzilla dies in the original, I doubt it.

[Guest Jamster26]

Well, at the end, we see one of the Godzilla eggs hatching, so thought it might be a follow on from that?

[Guest John Hancock]

Are you talking about the 1998 American version? If so, that's not the original, the original Godzilla was made in Japan in the mid-50s (1954 I think?). I think we can safely say that 1998 version is about as dead and buried as Batman Forever in terms of it getting a sequel.

[Guest Jamster26]

Ah, my bad then.

[Maxximus 353]

That roar gave me a boner. My brother is a huge Godzilla fan and when I showed him this he lost his shit. I've been keeping it from him that they're doing another one. He hated the last one with a passion. I can quote him directly as saying, "That bullshit is NOT Godzilla!"

[Guest John Hancock]

Seriously though, that bullshit was NOT Godzilla. Godzilla has to have his weird little electro-gurilla-whale noise.

[Maxximus 353]

Yeah and no legit atomic fire breath? WTF?!
