That could be the plot. A three way fight between Godzilla, MechaGodzilla, and jaeger's. And in the end, Godzilla and the jaegers have to team up to take down MechaGodzilla.


I like the sound of that. Although I'm surprised Toho hasn't even made at least an animated ova of Godzilla (and no, the American tv show doesn't count). Anyway this is cool news. Although wasn't Legendary working with Universal now?

Though I wouldn't mind seeing that, the Jeagers are tiny compared to the size of this Godzilla. They wouldn't stand a chance.

According to a size comparison chart I've seen posted around, this Godzilla would only be a Cat 5, maybe a strong Cat 4. He's no bigger than Slattern.

Jaegers were about as tall as as Leatherback and Mutavore.

Oh, God, yes!
I was expecting these news, but definitely not this fast. Regardless, I'll be waiting. This film kicked all sorts of ass. It was so titanic. I hope we get more "Fatality" scenes. Laughing

Unfortunately, you've linked the incomplete version of the song. Here is the correct version with the necessary, 100% accurate subtitles: http://youtu.be/7cxV8Bf8ND4?t=10s

I feel its high time for Godzilla, Gamera, and Ultraman to have a big three way throwdown.

I watched this movie on opening weekend and I have to say that I was impressed. Not blown away, but impressed. It definitely had the feel of the Godzilla movies of old and I felt that it paid homage to them too. Everybody in the movie wasn't sure about Godzilla but then he goes out and kicks some MUTO butt. And that atomic breath at the end! I'd love to see any of the older monsters come back to fight Godzilla in the sequels, like King Ghidorah, Destroyer, King Kong, Mecha Godzilla, Mothra, and the list can go on and on. Great job to Legendary, they're on a roll this year!

Japanese Warm Up to Idea of American ‘Godzilla’

  • The Internet rumor that the Japanese see the new made-in-America “Godzilla” as “super-sized” and “too fat” is all wrong, Toho would like you to know.

    “It’s just a small number of people saying that,” explains Toho PR rep Yosuke Ogura. “The number of people here who are OK with the new ‘Godzilla’ is a lot larger.”

    Local fan opinion is more diverse than earlier negative media reports implied.

    A glance at recent comments on the popular 2channel message board site reveals more anticipation than snark, now that additional info about the film has appeared, including early reviews.

    Japan, however, will be the last major market to view the latest Hollywood iteration of the iconic franchise that Toho launched in 1954 with the first of 28 made-in-Japan Godzilla pics: The studio plans to release “Godzilla” on July 25, nearly six weeks after its U.S. bow, but not out of any uncertainty about its success.

    “That’s just the best timing,” explains Ogura. “It’s when big movies are released here.”
