Pretty much.

Pretty much.

Bats is listing, like a ship that's taking on water.

I love Cranston's enthusiasm for the film. Interesting that he mentions the film is going to be like Jaws so I expect for about half the film we won't see Godzilla in all his glory until he takes the military or the MUTOs for the first time. They build up the tension then release it with some awesome stuff. Cannot wait. Only four months to go now!

I like that analogy. Saying it's like Jaws.
I remember how I felt when I first saw that flick.

I just hope the emphasis isn't with Godzilla in the water like Pacific Rim did with their monsters.

Water battles are boring, especially in the dark.

Maybe a few battleships being destroyed by Godzilla, then move it along to land.

Brief mention in Total Film, may be considered spoilers so read with caution.

Empire has an interview with Edwards, here's a snippet.

"I'm trying not to do the obvious thing that everybody does with a film like this," he says. At its heart is the father-son pairing of Byran Cranston's nuclear physicist and Aaron Johnson's soldier. The quiet moments during their journey of colossal discovery,insists Edwards, provide a valuable contrast to the big action beats. "It makes the big things look bigger when you've just had a quiet moment. If everything is whizz-bang constantly throughout the whole movie it just becomes nothing. So you have to carefully go to quiet and restrain things so that the other things hit you hard."

ie; our budget should've been higher

From what I gleaned from that Empire interview is that the leaked script probably was the real deal or at least part of the real deal when Edwards said that the 2014 Godzilla is

Spoiler

indeed the 1954 Godzilla. So I would assume the 1954 Godzilla got hit by a nuke, never rampaged Japan, and has been mutating/evolving ever since, rearing his head every once and while over the last 60 years but staying relatively hidden.

I like that psychological take.
It was certainly executed very well on Gojira.

 

[MaulFan]

I really think this movie is in great hands.

Michael Bay syndrome.

Indeed.
I'm probably one of the few people that loved what he did with Monsters.
I enjoyed the cinematic direction and his style of building intensity in that one.

It's not the mindless monster movie like Pacific Rim that mass audiences want, but more Spielberg level where the creature is a secondary thought and the human story being compelling is primary. Many mistake this as meaning Edwards won't give Godzilla himself proper attention, rather than seeing it just means, he'll make the human parts just as exciting and engagin as the monster ones so you'll care about the people instead of spending 2 hours waiting for them to die or whaterver.

I loved Monsters. Such an intriguing film. And i really liked the monster designs.

 

[G-M53]

I liked it too.

 

[MaulFan]

What I loved about Monsters is how it makes you feel like you're in that world on a journey with the characters instead of just watching it. The idea of a Godzilla movie where you feel you are right there with Godzilla is amazing. I love that Edwards wants an apocalyptic feel to the movie.

Count me among the faithful as well my friend. Monsters was remarkable and for what he shot for, it's even more remarkable.
