Hey, fans of horror and science-fiction... Godzilla is soon to be back. The production company in charge has brought on one of the best directors around to... WRITE... a new draft for the movie... Frank Darabont, he of the "The Shawshank Redemption," "The Green Mile" and "The Mist"), plus the best horror show on television -- "The Walking Dead!"
WOW!
Above are 4 of Godzilla #1 and a Godzilla #2 from Marvel from a couple of decades ago. This is a great comic book series in the vein of Marvel comics before Marvel began to over think itself and introduce pure stupidity into its world... like the entire Spider-Man Symbiotes nonsense and its spin offs, for example!
If "they" want to make another giant lizard movie in which NYC is destroyed... that's OK. Just don't call it Godzilla and insult the fans. That movie has been disrespected by quite a few movie critics. It was a sensation when it was first released in 1998... but fans of Godzilla were not fooled into accepting the fact that director Roland Emmerich believes that he, like Michael Bay, knows more than fans of the iconic subjects he tackles.
I believe with all my heart that Frank Darabont is the right man for the job. I hope the producers are impressed enough with his work to keep him on... maybe to direct?
Godzilla... you can stomp all over my town any time you choose. I mean... I couldn't stop you anyway, right?
