I'm really interested to see how he does with a character that was so one dimensional in the origonal. But I'm still waiting for him to be cast as Thenardier in a big budget version of Les Miserables! As for the trailer, I guess I need a better version of Quicktime.
Originally Posted By Blackie Pueblo I've never been a Godzilla fan or really a King Kong fan, but I have to say this movie looks incredible. Not only does it have some pretty good actors, but the action, and I have to agree with Jim, old New York looks awesome. I just hope this movie isn't going to be something that relays too heavily on special effects.. cough Star Wars cough...ahem.

Originally Posted By vbdad55 <But dinosaurs and New York City in the same movie? This I gotta see.< If they are around Madison Square Garden, they need to look for the remnants of Godzilla's eggs --LOL -- as he/she made it to NYC last movie also.
Originally Posted By WorldDisney Yeah, I saw the trailer on Access Hollywood last week (had a hard time trying to get it here). Looks good . It will be the first movie in L.A.

They mentioned the score and the fact the movie is still being put together. Nothing new there, but considering it went over budget by $50 million already and now is more expensive than what Titanic cost to make, there can't be any negative pre-release gossip for this thing.
Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA While I certainly appreciate the power of music and a good score, it seems odd that an entire score for a movie be completed, and then removed. What could have gone wrong? Too many trumpets and not enough strings? I don't get it. It's not like they replaced Howard Shore with Aerosmith or something...
