got any sevens posted:

Well why else did they pick Seoul instead of Tokyo, the usual kaiju city?
Maybe they wanted to distance themselves from the most obvious Godzilla themes, since Toho actually sued the film at one point. I think they even had a poster with Godzilla and Mazinger Z photoshopped in when Vigalondo was trying to raise money for this project.

Edit. Yeah, according to the A.V. Club article about the lawsuit, the film was supposed to be set in Tokyo.

The company that owns Godzilla is suing Anne Hathaway’s kaiju movie
(Images in the article are slightly spoilery)
