I heard Seth Rogen is playing the big guy in this version.

At least this time they seem to have a handlr on  the Big G's personality and look. Plus Toho is actively involved in the producing end this time , probably to make sure they don't end up with another travesty like the 98 crapfest.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this. As soon as I see an official report with the word "suitmation" in it, I'll upgrade to genuinely optimistic!

[Hepcat]

Godzilla doesn't need to be "updated". He just needs to be done right.

[Dr. Madd]

Even though I think they need to keep big G's charm.

I am also cautiously optimistic about this one. Having Toho actually involved is a huge step in the right direction-Yoshimitsu banno, who directed Godzilla vs the Smog monster back in 1971, is the producer for Toho on this movie. They did say that the effects would be CGI, but as long as they have Godzilla's look and personality down, I think it will be spectacular. Toho themselves did a 100% CGI Godzilla for a cameo dream sequence in the 2007 movie Always sunset on third street 2. I hope that we can see this as a preview of the 2012 version. Check it out:

In the meantime, Toho has also been shooting new suitmation effects scenes for pachinko games in 2009 and 2010. pachinko parlors are hugely popular in japan and are a kind of arcade/slot machine type thing I guess. Veteran effects director Koichi kawakita directed the new scenes for bopth games utilizing various monster suits from the Millenium movies. here is a 10 m inute promotion video for the 2010 game with lots of views of the new effects scenes:

David Goyer is now writing/ re-writing the script...

With Gareth Edwards ("Monsters") directing and Goyer scripting, this could end up being pretty decent.

True...now the only other remake I ever need to see is a Creature from the Black Lagoon one because it's way overdo.  An Americanized Gamera film would be interesting but it would probably be so westernized that it would share nothing in common with it's Japanese brother....Gamera is just too "goofy" for Western audiences, but that's why I love him

I'm excited to see a Godzilla movie in the theater. That would be so awesome. I think as long as Rob Zombie stays away from it we probably stand a better chance at getting a good movie.

I know there wont be any any suitmation (which is disappointing ) but I hope there is at least one other monster in the movie. My biggest hope is that it will do good enough that Toho will want to reboot there series again and we can start getting some really awesome movies going. I really loved Godzilla Final Wars and would like to see more movies like that, with a heavy scifi tone and lots of action. Both human and monster. That movie has one of the best end battles.

He's not allowed to go see it even after it's finished and in theaters.

I could get behind that!

I can't believe you said you liked Final Wars...the worst Godzilla movie of all time as far as I'm concerned

Go watch "Godzilla's Revenge" again.
