The rumor I have read is that Warners wants this to be their "Transformers" -- a "silly" franchise that they can a make big, effects-laden, summer tentpole franchise out of. I'm all for a new Amerigoji film, but it's going to be a hard road to get the hardcore daikaiju fans on board -- especially after the very positive response to what we have seen so far with Pacific Rim. You can't just throw a big CG monster on the screen and call it Godzilla like we got in 1998.
