Godzilla X Kong’s Reshoots Explained - Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire

[@jahayaazizi1472]

I want Godzilla X Kong to reach 1 Billion in the Box office.

[@DMan1954]

That would be amazing.

[@stinkfloyd1]

I try to remind fans just how amazing a time we're in as Godzilla fans. After Zilla 98, the idea of another Hollywood made Godzilla would never happen. The hope of ever getting a Toho Godzilla back to his horror roots of the original would never happen again. We hoped, but very little hope. Shin Godzilla aside. In 2012, did ANYONE expect: 1. A high budget Hollywood Godzilla movie with a proper Godzilla design and serious tone. 2. A second high budget Hollywood made film with the crown jewels of Toho's kaiju. Godzilla, Ghidorah, Rodan & Mothra. Made by a fan for the fans. A lore built for all of them, including newly created kaiju. 3. A 2nd Godzilla vs. Kong people really enjoyed (as did I). Don't forget headlines in media at the time had Godzilla and Kong as saving the box office industry at the time. That really happened. 4. Another Godzilla and Kong movie that will appeal to generations young & old to keep the fanbase going. While creating a new generation of fans like we were. Most of us came during the Showa Era reruns on TV. 5. Toho Godzilla: Minus One giving the fanbase the movie we thought could never happen again. It didn't. It exceeded it. Add to that both critics & audiences loving it as well. As one of the best films made in years. A Godzilla movie non-G fans loved as much as we do. Winning 8 Japan Academy Awards. Nominated for ANYTHING at the Oscars?! Yes, it is being snubbed, but Godzilla nomination for an Oscar?! That is beautiful. 6. A live action Monsterverse series with our boy looking glorious and...KURT RUSSELL!?!? We have comic books and video games by huge game creators/franchises. A variety of Godzilla merch, toys, and Godzilla stores!?! GO and enjoy the new GxK. Suspend disbelief and go in expecting fun all-out kaiju fighting on an epic scale. It's great to be a Godzilla, Kong, or kaiju fan.

[@Tyrant_Boi]

Adam wingard: "I want Mothra but because of budget stuff, we cannot add Mothra. Instead we will add Phosphera!" [Phosphera was either a giant bird thingy or a Mothra relative] General public: "You will gain us more if you replace Phosphera with Mothra" Adam: "More people = more money. Yep, we will certianly replace Phosphera with Mothra"

[@SasquaDash]

Part of me wonders if Phosphera was just an elaborate cover up to keep Mothra's role a secret. It may be somewhat of a stretch, but it was confirmed that certain things were hidden or altered for the test screenings. Descriptions of the test screening also mentioned Godzilla fighting a brand new Titan called "Arachnid", however it's now confirmed that Godzilla is actually fighting Scylla, with the battle being set up in "The Hunted" comic.

[@hunterjam8110]

I feel like that thing was better off removed. While it’s nice to see a brand new Titan,it’s kinda dumb considering the role of it on the movie and the resemblance on some aspectos to Mothra. The fandom would’ve wanted Mothra to return instead of Phosphera was still 100% and people were not going to be happy in my opinion. Plus having GMK together for the first time is massive and it can only be so magical so we are in for a ride for sure!.

[@Kaiju-bm4ts]

​@@SasquaDash godzilla was always going to fight scylla, the person who said arachnid either wasn't a fan or forgot scylla existed

Thank you!

[@dungeondelversguild]

Well I guess you’re going to have to eat those words about moving the opening date. It’s made 85 million so far and the second day hasn’t closed yet. It’s a great film. Fun, witty and warm at times. My only complaint it mostly spotlighted Kong. Godzilla was more of a filler. However, when Godzilla was on screen it was mass destruction so that made up for it.

Thank you

Would love to see Jared Modina get to work in some MonsterVerse and Toho projects, his artwork is such a standout

[@lukezilla4621]

Hey DMan just wanted to let you know according to an article from IndieWire Godzilla×Kong production budget is apparently 190 milion

[@ZG2008]

If this is true, Godzilla x Kong: TNE will be the highest budget for a monsterverse film, with 2nd being Kong skull island with 185 million.

[@lukezilla4621]

@ZG2008 yeah, Dangerville said on his latest video its 160 milion. At this point its just a matter of waiting till the budget is actually confirmed

[@Unhinged_Pegasus69]

A lot can happen in 3 years.

[@DMan1954]

Very true

[@brstanley1992]

You should make a video showing your most prized/valuable Godzilla statue or figure you own. Whether it’s the most because it means something to you or because you spent the most money on it due to some reason. Would love to see that!

[@AzoGojira]

Hey D Man, life long Goji fan and I wanted to know how you feel about basically 7 minutes of footage from the film being given from all the TV Spots and Trailers they've put out over the past few weeks. It feels like KOTM all over again and I'm truly wondering what will be left to be considered "new" when it comes to watching the film.

[@ianquinones1337]

Me personally I think ramin djawadi should compose a GxK movie he did such a good job with pacific rim

[@BublySofaPotato]

I'm off topic with this, but I really hope the music is more memorable in this movie than in GvK.

Not yet. But we can hope. They are trying to get it made

[@Starfytr]

Hey D-man, I know you are dreading the Godzilla not taken seriously turn that is coming with GxK, so if Yamasaki minus one wins the Oscar then he intervenes to stop the silly madness and bring our MCU Civil War Godzilla film before Wyngaard(Showa silly fan) finishes us off with the next one. Long shot, but it’s possible 😊.

I will just wait for another japanese Godzilla movie

i dont want monsterverse to end before adapting all classic toho kaijju

[@kaijubeyondbelief8053]

If Adam Wingard didn’t do anything outright disrespectful in Godzilla vs Kong, what about Kong shoving the axe on Godzilla’s throat, was it a joke?

[@AndyH9136]

That was a reference to the original King Kong vs Godzilla. If anything, it’s a really respectful tribute from Wingard. Showing his appreciation for the movie. (Also an amazing callback!)

Why do you guys treat this fake animal character as if he’s you’re father😂

[@GigaKaiju]

Ngl, at one point I thought THEM! would get made to be part of the MV but I still would not mind seeing an adaptation of THEM! happen. Related or not to the Monsterverse. I'm dreading Junkie's score for GxK however since he's co-scoring it with someone else, theres possibility for the soundtrack to be at least distinct or slightly better than GvK, IMO.

[@HawaiianForgeStudios]

Honestly they should have just gotten Bear to do it again because I HATE Junkies scores for GVK as it had like no soul of Godzilla in it at all.

I truly hate that Junkie coins doing the music. KOYM had the best soundtrack hands down.

[@mr.milkman3893]

True, even if they wanted to create new themes instead of reusing the old classic themes Junkie sucks at that too. Should’ve took a page from G2014’s composer. He made a very good Godzilla theme that sounds epic and heavy and not electronic and generic like Junkies music

[@colbygreene1110]

I think it'll barley beat Godzilla vs Kong I really hope the monsterverse doesn't end after the "trilogy"

Bad news, guys. The film was already struggling with pre-sales - which is why we’ve had so many promo spots - but its even worse than expected. There is literally no excitement for this film amongst the general public. It’s going to tank hard. Don’t believe me - see for yourself. I’ve checked 12 cinemas for all showings across the opening weekend and it’s tumbleweeds with

[@zacksnyder2561]

Dang you were wrong

[@Dingbotz]

@@zacksnyder2561 if it wasn’t for the over-performance of the opening weekend, the film would not have broke even. That it did over-perform was unexpected by all metrics.

[@HawaiianForgeStudios]

Welp guess I wont like Godzilla X Kong as much as I hoped because the music is what really pulls me into the scenes so if that is the case then the music is gonna be pretty lame like Godzilla V Kong. After getting spoiled by Bear McCreary with the awesome themes for all kaiju in the film, I am just disappointed we keep using generic sounds or honestly forgettable tracks than the iconic stuff from KoTM. Like Godzilla needs his theme fullstop and the one we got in GVK just wasn't as good as KOTM. Also, fuck the composer if he didn't like the movie or doesn't like most of the movies to extend that line of thinking because then he has no respect or passion for the Monsterverse and is going to deliver a shit product that's just the reality. When you have passion or love for a franchise/genre you'll do your best to make memorable content, I challenge anyone to name me a memorable piece of music from GVK other than "Godzilla's theme" (if you can even call it that) that was memorable compared to 2019.

[@mr.milkman3893]

Honk Kong was pretty good and the intro was probably the best piece of music. But i agree, Bear was definitely a bigger fan and it shows with his music. Even with Rodan and Ghidorah who got original themes, they still sound grand and fit the character.

[@HawaiianForgeStudios]

@@mr.milkman3893Plus I can take the music from the film listen to it on my own and instantly be sucked into the scene in which it is taking place like the entire Battle of Boston music I can visualize in my head what went down because the music was composed so well and so memorably.
