GODZILLA vs KONG

[alexeratops]

The film comes out really soon and still no trailers. I'm betting we'll get something when joker comes out. There both Warner Bros.

And only one poster, as well. I'd keep an eye on monarchsciences.com because when KotM began its promotional period, that website began changing heavily.

It's a trap...I say...it's a trap!

GODZILLA VS. KONG---artwork and a synopsis for the sequel were released for the Playmates toy figures, "Legends collide as Godzilla and Kong, the two most powerful forces of nature, clash in a spectacular battle for the ages! The monster war rages on the surface and deep within our world as the spectacular secret realm of the titans known as the Hollow Earth is revealed!"

[Brocc21]

I'm still confused on what's happening is this picture. How are they standing on an Aircraft Carrier? Legendary Godzilla dwarfs even the largest ship and there's no way both Godzilla and King Kong could fit on it. And the monsters in these movies never have consistent size and are bigger in some scenes and smaller than others. But I mean this is just ridiculous. That thing should be capsized. Hopefully this is just some concept art and this won't appear in the movie.

[Jose S.M.]

I agree it looks weird and inconsistent. In Godzilla (2014) he was about the same size of the ships that followed him through the ocean and bigger than the ones waiting by the bridge. And he was even bigger in KOTM and dwarfed the ships that arrived in Boston next to him. Unless they come up with a island sized fictional vessel (which would be crazy) this make no sense scale wise.

Godzilla will have a somewhat different look in GODZILLA VS KONG.

That's just a speculation article. He looks just about the same as he looked in KOTM.

[dyno77]

From the reports iv read online  part of the battle will be in the earths core and other monsters will join in and the winner is supposed to be godzilla according to some report but i dont no for sure how accurate it would really be.

Could be weird MONARCH tech.

GODZILLA VS KONG---teaser trailer released for the sequel..

LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VyrLOJJpoQ




WARNER BROS./HBO MAX---Christopher Nolan commented on the Warner Bros. decision to release its upcoming movies in theaters and on HBO Max simultaneously, "Some of our industry's biggest filmmakers and most important movie stars went to bed the night before thinking they were working for the greatest movie studio and woke up to find out they were working for the worst streaming service." The deal involves all 17 of the studio's 2021 movies including DUNE, THE MATRIX 4, and GODZILLA VS KONG.
Legendary Pictures will reportedly try to block Warner Bros. from releasing DUNE and GODZILLA VS KONG in theaters and on HBO Max simultaneously after the studio did so without consulting Legendary. Legendary financed about 75% of both movies. Warner Bros. blocked Legendary's attempt to sell GODZILLA VS KONG to Netflix for $250 million.
Gal Gadot, whose WONDER WOMAN 1984, will be released in theaters and on HBO Max on Christmas day, received over $10 million in compensation due to the deal. Keanu Reeves, the star of THE MATRIX 4, did not receive a bonus due to the deal.

Funny that there's a film industry equivalent of political cartoons.

But really, pretty messed up of Warner Bros not to warn Legendary about this little stunt. I just want to see some cool movies and if all of these get delayed again, well, that'll disappoint a lot of people, I'm sure.

[Dinoxels]

D @dragon53 That isn't a real teaser. That's just fan-made. The actual footage was from a reel, see here:

Honestly,   i hope it gets yanked from HBO MAX.   I dont want to waste $$$ on a pointless streaming service just for one movie.

Also,   if people cant wait through a pandemic before there precius movie gets released, then they have patiants of a toddler.    I rather see them delay it. Then release it during Covid.   Or better yet, release it on DVD/ BLURAY so i can buy it 1 time, and watch it whenever i want.

[Gwangi]

I'm personally excited about this and will do what I can to support it. Let's be clear, I'm a major film buff. I watch everything from high brow Oscar bait, to foreign and independent movies, and B-grade shlock. As a teenager, when I still lived with my folks but had a job (and expendable money), I was at the movie theater multiple times per week. It didn't even matter what the movie was, I just liked being there. I never want to lose the theater experience. But lets be real here. Movie theaters have their flaws, and the cost of a movie is not what it used to be. The price of a movie ticket has doubled since my teenage years. Also, I'm a parent now. I can't just go see "Godzilla vs. Kong". I have to plan in advance, hire a sitter, and then spend a small fortune for the movie tickets alone, never mind the snacks. I will gladly pay $14.99 (or whatever it is) to see a movie at home upon its immediate release instead of having to wait for it to hit Red Box or streaming months later. That subscription fee is far less than the cost of a ticket plus sitter fees, and I might find something else to watch while I'm subscribed. There is plenty of quality content on HBO. I can put my daughter to bed, go downstairs, order a pizza, and enjoy my movie.

Naturally I don't want anyone involved in the creation of the film to get shafted, everyone deserves their cut. But this has been a long time coming too, the virus is just speeding it along. The quality of movie releases lately that go straight to streaming often surpasses those that go to theaters. And although there will always be those must-see-in-theater movies the majority of them really don't need that big screen experience when you have a big, flat screen, HD TV at home. Studios cannot hold onto these movies forever, they have new movies scheduled and ready to film. If too many movies hit theaters at once than a lot of good movies that may have competed better beforehand will now get lost in the noise and bomb.

Takama, I don't think it is fair for you to compare the patience of movie buffs to that of toddlers when I've seen you complain heavily about delayed releases and spotty distribution on account of the pandemic, for toys. Sounds mighty hypocritical.

I dont have children and my determining factors are different than Gwangi's but I am right there with him on his take....consider a movie like New mutants that I was looking forward to, that got swallowed up in studio intrigue, and countless delays. Once it did arrive, it hit theaters, during a time I simply cannot justify going to one. The very minute it was released to streaming I rented it and once out on video I bought a copy, just to do my fair part to support the movie. I agree completely with his comments here , that I have quoted, minus the bit about Takaama.

[stargatedalek]

Generally I'm in favour of movies hitting theatres first, though the window between theatre release and home video release, and then the following window between home video and streaming release, could definitely do with being shortened by a couple of months.

What feels egregious here is the prevention of the Netflix deal only to follow with demanding they release on HBO Max. This is Legendary Picture's film that they co-produced, and it's disgusting they would try to pull a stunt like this to promote their glorified knockoff of a streaming service.

Maybe it is Hypocrytical of me to make the comparison, but to me, the diffrence between Mattels Toys and these movies is that it wont be a PITA to find a certain movie a year later or less. For instance, I can go to my local Walmart and pick up a copy of Godzilla: King of the Monsters 2019, while the same cannot be said for Mattels Camp Cretacious Sinoceratops, which eludes me to this day.

That's a fair point, and I can empathize with you. But I don't think it is fair to ridicule one hobby over another. We're all passionate about our respective hobbies, including move buffs. Movies are a form of escapism, just like toy collecting is. A distraction from the real world. And for those people who enjoy seeing, discussing, reviewing, or analyzing movies this has not been a great year. People have been waiting for Godzilla vs. Kong since the 2014 movie was released 6 years ago, they've waited long enough.
