QMM 4 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Cue the whining!Matt Reeves is in early talks with Paramount to direct a Cloverfield sequel, and, as was previously announced, he has also made a deal with GreeneStreet Films to direct The Invisible Woman.Variety says the timing of the projects will depend on how quickly Paramount can complete discussions with Reeves, producer J.J. Abrams and writer Drew Goddard to come up with another monster story for the Cloverfield sequel. There's a good chance the sequel will be Reeves' next film, in which case he will direct The Invisible Woman afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Crichton 4 Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 Well I suppose it's keeping with tradition. How many Godzilla movies were there? I want to know what happens after, but I was thinking more DVD extra territory than a whole new movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Alot of monster action took place in the country side, remote islands, different cities, some films were made as stand alone entries that had nothing to do with the others.It appears Japan also has fast building construction companies.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Mark, I'd have to disagree about Son of Godzilla, that film is in a word, wretched.but I'd gladly let Destroy All Monsters take its place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Joe one of the things that has changed my mind about these films is finally seeing all of them in their correct aspect ratio and original Japanese language. I used to hate Son of Godzilla but after watching the remastered print and original language, the film flows much better and while the Godzilla suit in the film is horrible the story line is actually good.

David Coscina 3 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Mark, I'd have to disagree about Son of Godzilla, that film is in a word, wretched.but I'd gladly let Destroy All Monsters take its place.Okay, cool Joe, you're a kaiju fan eh? I also agree. SOG is a little on the cheese side to me and DAM is very cool.Other kaiju films I think are excellent are:DaiMajin (love this film- starts like a samurai epic until the last 20 minutes when the stone statue kicks everyone's a$$, even the villagers after he finishes off the baddies reinforcing the whole evil demon thing)RodanWar of the GargantuansGamera: Guardian of the UniverseGamera 2: LegionGamera 3: Iris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 but the son of Godzilla is just bad itself, I wanted the other monsters to kill him.I did at least get to see it on the Big Screen.Destroy All Monsters destroyed any perceptions that people are not meat. When they rip the Aliens ear rings off, that was my very first GROSS reaction in a movie. In the early 70's we'd not seen such on screen mutilation (slight as it was) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamera 3 was the first monster movie where they shot POVs from the civilians and the collateral damage that went with Gamera fighting other baddies in Tokyo.Also Mark, what do you think of DaiMajin? Most film reviewers even agree that the first one is pretty dang well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Truthfully I never got into Gamera, even the newer ones.It has been a long time since I've seen any of the Daimaijin films.I wanted to get the (R1) box set that was released several years ago but I heard there were technical problems with the transfers, incorrect aspect ratio and a few other glitches.

Ollie 1,059 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Actually it was, more of a fleshy color at times.The one shot were it looked green was when Hud first saw it, but I think that had more to do with the lighting around the creature from the buildings.But for the most part it was a pale color.

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Well I guess you know a lot about the anatomy of monsters.To design a creature you have to base it in what we know about our creatures. Create his skeleton, put the muscles over it and then adapt it to its living ecosystem. Swimming creatures have many things in common, and it should reflect in the anatomi of the monster. Be it plaps, fins or palmeated hands and feet, for example. Sails, a strong tail, etc.I mean, to design a believable creature (when that is the intent), you have to know something about real creatures.And this colverfiled monster is not an alien, isnt it?

Red 75 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Exactly why I assumed it would have looked somewhat fish-like. But I understand that it still did what it did regardless of it's appearance, just like other monsters in other movies. It does look completely like an alien, though.
