Godzilla 2: Destroy All Monsters (20??) - Blu-ray Forum

Godzilla Sequel May Head to Monster Island for Destroy All Monsters Reboot!

Sequel talks all ready? They must have faith in it. I'm down.

Quote:

Godzilla director Gareth Edwards revealed at Comic-Con 2013 that his upcoming action-thriller will feature Godzilla doing battle with multiple monsters. The filmmaker teased that, if a sequel were to be made, he wants to go bigger, revealing that one of his favorite movies is Destroy All Monsters, which features 11 different iconic Japanese Kaiju.

Quote:

"With the exception of the 1954 original, I would say my second favorite film is Destroy All Monsters. I just love the idea of a monster island. Having a world with these creatures in it. I find that fascinating and would like to treat that realistically. I wouldn't want to limit it to one other foe, I think it's more fun to - this question will come back to haunt me if we ever do a sequel - but I think multiple creatures make better movies in terms of the image of Gojira."

If a follow-up does, in fact, happen, the filmmaker has plenty of original Toho monsters to choose from, including Mothra, Gigan, Rodan, and King Ghidorah. Is 11 creatures too many? Or do you want to see as many monsters as humanly possible?
Godzilla comes to theaters May 16th, 2014 and stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Bryan Cranston, Elizabeth Olsen, Juliette Binoche, Ken Watanabe, David Strathairn, Richard T. Jones, Sally Hawkins. The film is directed by Gareth Edwards.

Well everything has sequel talk way before the first film is released nowadays.

Sorry, what's that? Nope, still can't hear you. The sound of angels singing is far too loud. In what is probably the best damned news of the day (or week), Godzilla director Gareth Edwards recently discussed which direction he'd like to go in for the inevitable sequel.

“With the exception of the 1954 original, I would say my second favorite film is Destroy All Monsters,” Edwards tells Screen Rant. “I just love the idea of a monster island. Having a world with these creatures in it. I find that fascinating and would like to treat that realistically. I wouldn’t want to limit it to one other foe; I think it’s more fun to – this question will come back to haunt me if we ever do a sequel – but I think multiple creatures make better movies in terms of the image of Gojira."

Gotta see how this new one looks first. The last American Godzilla film was shit.

Sure, it will be successful... Just like Green Lantern, Pacific Rim and other numerous films where they started writing sequels well before the film actually was released... AND TANKED!

And I think it will be quite popular in those markets.

Am I missing something? From Box Office Mojo....

Budget $190,000,000

Total Lifetime Grosses
Domestic: $78,661,000 41.6%
+ Foreign: $110,300,000 58.4%
= Worldwide: $188,961,000

I know there's a marketing budget, but the rest of the money this makes in theaters and then on Blu-ray/DVD should ensure it doesn't lose money.

A sequel will have to have a leaner budget though.

csdot · 07-28-2013, 12:18 AM

making its production budget back is not considered successful or profitable. so yes, you are missing something. by your logic Green Lantern was profitable, and nobody seemed to argue that one.

China is a huge market...gigantic! It'll add $50M+ to the box-office and Japan will add $25M. Are you forgetting what this film is about? This stuff was practically made for Asian markets.

The box-office for China is up 36% over last year and is predicted to overtake North America within the next decade. Doesn't sound like a small market to me.

csdot · 07-28-2013, 12:27 AM

i guess well have to wait and see, im not as optimistic about it as you are. i meant small as in not big enough to double what its made so far, which still would just barely be cutting it.

I'm on the box-office.com forums and members located in China say it's going to be huge. Keep in mind, it'll still make $20M more here in the U.S. and that will get added to the $75M from China and Japan. Also, probably $3M more in Russia. Who knows how much it will do in the other current markets. Boxofficmojo.com hasn't updated a lot of those markets since 7/21.

Wow! Great news! Love the new Godzilla design, and can't wait to see how some of the other classic monsters look! Especially Mothra!

Walts Ghost · 07-28-2013, 03:38 AM

I would love to see this, barring the new one does well.
