Maxwell Lord posted:It's deliberately a little freaky in the way Japanese horror can be. Some of the shots in the trailer put me in mind of Attack on Titan. I would hope so since Anno's co-director did the (terrible) two part Attack on Titan live action movie.

Everything about that movie feels so drat low grade that it only really stands out from every other mainstream Japanese production by virtue of the premise of giants come and eat people. It lacks any tension in the writing, editing, or performances, the compositing of effects is done in such a way that the moment more than one is being done at a time it feels like a quickie diorama from a middle school student, character motivations are shallow but repeated again and again, the whole exercise by the end of Part 1 makes you feel almost queasy with how obviously this was made to just be another salvo in the endless marketing campaign of the manga. Not even necessarily a love of the material is seen. It's a paycheck movie that seemed pre-aware of it's destiny as fodder for TV Tokyo to run on random holidays in the late hours.

There’s definitely no block on making more Japanese Godzilla movies; Anno just wants to finish his Rebuild of Eva series, which won’t be until 2020 according to a teaser that played in front of the new Hosoda film Mirai, and Toho wants to be developing new films immediately - he was probably approached, he informed them of what he’s doing for the next few years, and they went “well, okay then” and announced their intent to make Godzilla films without him starting with one they want out in 2021 and something every other year from that point on. Basically the double whammy of Legendary’s US Godzilla and Shin got Toho all worked up about making Godzilla movies again, but they’re chasing the cinematic universe pot of gold.

Mr. Funny Pants posted:So what was posted earlier, from the co-director of Shin, was wrong? Yes or at least translated really poorly, “because of the partnership” is because Toho handles Japanese distribution for the Legendary movies and, uh, 2019 and 2020 are King of the Monsters and Kong vs. Godzilla, which is the reasoning why they aren’t putting out their own Godzilla in either of those years. So “we can’t do anything until 2021” is more “that’s the first year there isn’t a Godzilla movie that the studio is distributing.”

Marty has talked about being a kid and seeing King Kong on the family tv and being absolutely entranced by the fights between Kong and the dinos, or how he held little Fay Wray in the palm of his hand, the whole spectacle of the thing. That dude will find the art in anything if it’s there.
