from kevin:<\/strong>\nGodzilla was released in 1998 starring Mathew Broderick. \nCould this be a remake (already)?<\/pre>\n
Whether there is still wind in the sails of the Godzilla franchise is certainly debatable.\u00a0 Audiences love these films despite their predictable endings.\u00a0 We flock to watch monstrosities go to town on large cities – where there is a clear unambiguous villain, but where Man is ultimately to blame.<\/p>\n
However, JJ Abrams has a tendency to leapfrog the next level an instead take convention and formula to a place viewers have never been.\u00a0 And once there, his viewers are never quite sure where they are let alone where this thing is going.\u00a0 His craft is one of directing viewer attention inward, plunging them onto incredibly intricate plotlines.\u00a0 We end up distracted away from our normal cinematic instincts towards predictability (of endings) and technique (visual effects).<\/p>\n
In doing so, he may just re-invent the almighty monster picture, much the same way he\u2019s re-invented science fiction episodic television.<\/p>\n
Lots of people not talking.\u00a0 Only thing people know for sure is that nothing – NOTHING – this big in that town has ever been kept so well under wraps.\u00a0 There are big production shoots uncovered on both coasts confirmed to be JJ Abrams\u2019 doing this film.\u00a0 Across the board, each member if the crew, when asked, mentioned it was a production for a cheese commercial.\u00a0 Nothing makes sense.\u00a0 No clue ties in with any other clue.\u00a0 I\u2019ve stopped monitoring the blogs because of how far-fetched the clue analysis has gotten.\u00a0 Its impossible to suss-out salient points due to this signal-to-noise ratio.<\/p>\n
But if you\u2019re interested, I have found SLASHFILM to be about the best repository of creditable rumor, non-news and leaks about the film.<\/p>\n
