Somebody call the Zucker Brothers....I think we've got a parody movie!

Oh, dear God no!

No, the Zuckers are the good ones...it's those two guys who used to work for them who suck.

SO are they already filming then? It seems weird that it isn't that long before it comes out. It didn't seem all that long ago that they announce Godzilla was "retiring" for a while. I would love to see the beginning of this movie be in Palm Beach Florida, where Godzilla has been living peacefully for years and then just decides to go on a rampage, destroying it, and heads to Tokyo.

2012 the year this movie comes  out is less then  a haft a year away

Godzilla is only on hiatus in Japan, doesn't stop us crazy Americans from making one. Last time Godzilla went on hiatus after Godzilla vs. Destoroyah in 1995, we made our monstrosity of a Godzilla film in 1998. It was so horrific, they decided they had to bring Godzilla back in Japan immediately for Godzilla 2000.

I have high hopes for this new American Godzilla film, but of course on the flipside, if it's really bad maybe we'll get some new Japanese ones sooner.

And if it is bad, Quiptracks will hopefully riff it.

Ouch. You've severely hurt my feelings as a riffer AND as a grammar Nazi.

Godzilla 2012 is definitely on our list, just to spite you.

That hurt my feelings too. I want to see Quiptracks make fun of it, even if it's already awesome.

Well, believe me, Rifftrax doesn't care what other groups are doing. If they want to riff it, they will.

I'm not sure how old this is, but here's a fairly lengthy interview with screenwriter David Callahan, who was hired to write the 1st draft of the screenplay: http://www.fresh-voices.com/interviews.html. It says Godzilla isn't due until 2014, but I guess we'll see about that. On the other hand, there are some fairly interesting words from the man himself.

I always want the story to have themes even if it's the dumbest thing you've ever heard. Godzilla is a pretty cut and dry, giant monster smashes stuff. But the reason I got excited about it is because I saw themes and relationships to the modern world that I could tell in this story that was important. I always strive to elevate.

I watch recent movies that I like. I read a lot of comic books because to me it has the right combination of text and story-telling and visuals. If I'm writing a small character piece I could read fiction and be fine. But on Godzilla I wanted to always be thinking in giant, sweeping science fiction terms. So I was watching a lot of those types of movies. You know, I could be watching Star Trek and it would help me with Godzilla just because it put me in the right mindset of "the universe is yours to play with." I watch a lot of Discovery channel stuff, History Channel and that always helps.

On Godzilla as an example and Doom I did this too. I watched a lot of nature documentaries because I felt like I'm writing about an animal; it's just a giant animal. But if I can get some cool set pieces out of behavior that I see animals doing in the wild in the show, then I can maybe translate that into something. Just whatever's appropriate...

On Godzilla I read about the history of Godzilla, Godzilla's history through film. But I also read a 600 page manual that is handed out to municipal areas, cities, counties, states, about disaster preparedness and how to react when a disaster does hit and how to make sure that you rebound from it. Because I was trying to tell the story from a perspective of Godzilla being treated as a disaster. So anything that I find appropriate I'll read. Even if I don't get a specific idea out of it creativity-wise, it gets me in the right mindset. I don't want to be doing anything while I'm writing a script other than living in the world of the script
