Producer Brian Rogers talked to “zennie62<\/a>” about the in-production Legendary Pictures “re-boot” of Godzilla.<\/p>\n

The key points are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We’re looking at a 2012 release.<\/li>\n
  2. Godzilla will be created using CGI. Otherwise the film is live action.<\/li>\n
  3. Godzilla will fight another monster or even monsters.<\/li>\n
  4. They want this Godzilla to be true to the original Japanese Godzilla, in both appearance and general narrative approach.<\/li>\n
  5. They want to “re-boot” Godzilla the way they re-booted Batman in Batman Begins<\/em> — not necessarily in a technical sense (violent camera editing, dark ambiance, etc.), but in a way that keeps it faithful to the iconic character while tweaking it for modern audiences.<\/li>\n
  6. Reading between the lines, I don’t think the image of Godzilla that appeared on t-shirts released at Comic-Con<\/a> is the production’s definitive version of the Big G — though it may very well reflect the effect they’ll be going for. The other one<\/a> that was doing the rounds bears no relation to Legendary’s design at all.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
