King Kong vs Godzilla remake – are you ready? 2010 King Kong vs Godzilla remake- what? Don’t old your breath yet. With rumors of new movie releases for both monsters in the next few years, there has been renewed interest in a King Kong vs Godzilla remake. The first one was such a classic in the monster movie genre. Am I being sarcastic? All I do know is that there are millions of people that will watch a King Kong vs Godzilla remake on the big screen, Blu-Ray disc, DVD, streaming video, and movie downloads.
A King Kong vs Godzilla remake is not absurd. The original 1963 movie -in Japan- still holds the record for most tickets sold for a Toho Company theatrical release. It was so popular in Japan that it was re-released twice in the 1970′s. In 1992, to celebrate the Big G’s 40′s anniversary, Toho had tried to secure rights from Universal to do a King Kong vs Godzilla remake. However the two monsters were defeated by something even more powerful than they were- lawyers! Indeed, Toho could not even use their robotic version of KK or a similar beast because they were afraid of getting sued. The last hope for a King Kong vs Godzilla remake was shut down.
After Peter Jackson’s movie was a hit, the big gorilla’s popularity was sparked, and there were whispers about a King Kong vs Godzilla remake. Although the script was not that innovative, KK was updated for new audiences due to the modern special effects and realistic CGI. Even though the original black and white version still gets air time on TV during Thanksgiving (and it is online) there were still millions of people who never experienced it. Jackson’s KK was a huge commercial success and put KK back in our collective consciousness- so much that there has been an underground movement to push a King Kong vs Godzilla remake.
As far as our mutated dinosaur goes, thanks to the Internet, sci-fi fans can finally get their hands on all the toys, movies, and merchandise (click here for my online store- lowest prices of course). The big radioactive lizard’s popularity is still high even though his movies are not box office smash hits anymore. There is no question that a CGI King Kong vs Godzilla remake would help Toho and Universal if they have a good King Kong vs Godzilla remake marketing campaign. I mean there are already people talking about signing King Kong vs Godzilla remake petitions, and some people on YouTube are trying to make a King Kong vs Godzilla remake go viral even though there is no official word from any movie studio.
Ultimately if I had to answer “yes” or “no” I would say that there will not be a King Kong vs Godzilla remake only because of copyright issues and profit sharing. I always don’t thinks fans will settle for Godzilla losing again if there is a King Kong vs Godzilla remake.

Godzilla vs King Kong remake would be great
I think a Godzilla vs Cloverfield monster would be better.
It could be a sequel to the Cloverfield movie, at the end
of Cloverfield the US air force dropped some type of
nuke on the city to destroy the monster, for the sequel
Godzilla is awakened by the nuke explosion and comes
ashore and fights the cloverfield monster. Godzilla wins
then goes back into the ocean and swims away.
Leonardo DiCaprio touched down in the Big Apple last week with Bar Rafaeli, but he’s been hitting the NYC scene sans his supermodel girlfriend this week. Most people stay in on…
people with no taste for a great song lol
Hello. I am from Japan. Thank you very much for caring us.
Today 14 people were reported dead in the evacuation center
for supply shortage. The number will surely increase though
they could escape from Tsunami.We tend to choose starving
to death than surviving by looting, because it is our
national identity.
I seriously worry about them.
We will never forget your kindness.

Nippon no tame ni inori tamae.
is the best I think.
Hmm didnt write “6. Dont forget to include crappy English mouthing of words thats totally off” If you just add then then its Godzilla, hell you dont need Godzilla just that and it would be an epic movie! Oh and not to mendtion if there was going to be a Monster v Monster just throw in King Kong, just say that this is what he did before he went to new york! Excellent Prequel right there for King Kong the movie.
There is no copyright issue with King Kong.
Universal Pictures proved on November 24, 1976 in court that King Kong is public domain.
Toho knows that King Kong is not public domain because if they tried in 1991 to get the rights to King Kong.
King Kong image can be close to any of the appearances that he have made in movies, TV and straight to DVD for Toho to use King Kong for free.

I think the economy was well on its way to tanking before Obama took office.
Simpleannie…
Everyone has a opinion and I respect your right to post that here. I 100% disagree. That is the big difference between here and KK. You CAN voice your opinion here vs at KK.. I agree if you leave KK ..I am not the right person for you to turn to…I am total opposite of Heidi. I believe in the truth and being blunt. Not spreading guilt filled lies. It could be too much of a shock for some to go from So pro Heidi and KK to the Truth KK and anti fraud.
Being a monster movie buff since the 60′s this classic would be ideal, but we are forgetting the main point……the original creators of Godzilla are no longer with us. I don’t think the movie would have the same exact appeal as the masters would have given it….it would just be tons of special effects, a good fight and ???????
God Rest Honda/Akfube/Tanaka and Subaraya.
Hope I can see it before I die!
