'Godzilla' Returns!

I love that huge monster! While his movies are okay, just the idea of a giant lizard running amok and fighting other giant monsters makes me laugh. It is entertaining.

Godzilla's run the gamut of possibilities for a film starring a large lizard-like monster that breathes fire. He started as a big old metaphor for the horrors of Hiroshima by putting a man in a rubber suit, and then returned for Japanese audiences as a marauding monster who fought off other giant terrors and eventually grew into something like a cinematic folk hero. Then, "Godzilla 1984" brought the menace back to the beast. While new Godzilla movies came out in Japan(like big guy's death in "Godzilla Vs. Destroyah" and his resurrection in "Godzilla 2000"), director Roland Emmerich gave the beast a CGI-iguana face and set him loose on New York.

"Godzilla" has been in some 28 movies over 55 years, including Emmerich's recent disaster of a movie from 1998 ( which only made its money back over seas because it barely earned back it's $130 million budget in the states). But even after all that, he's still coming back for more.

Bloody-Disgusting is reporting that Legendary Pictures, the production company responsible for "The Dark Knight" and "Watchmen," is "in early discussions" on another Godzilla movie of sorts. Word is that it will be a reboot, and not a remake or a sequel (which is good news), but that's all that they know (this is very early).

I'm excited to be seeing Godzilla return to the big screen and with Legendary Pictures involved we can hope for a decent film.

More news to come! Catch ya' later!
