'Godzilla' 2014 reboot movie monster sequel already in development after huge weekend box office success

Our constant coverage of Godzilla over the last several months made it apparent that we were excited for the Gareth Edwards film starring Bryan Cranston, which came out this past weekend, but now after a great box office debut we can look forward to a sequel! What can we look forward to when Godzilla 2 comes out? Let's take a look at reports to figure out what the future holds!

Deadline reports:

Edwards has talked about what he would do with a sequel, saying he would use the same kind of restraint that he did for this one. He learned well from watching Spielberg films as the monster was only talked about for the first part of this film. And, of course, there were those reaction shots that added to the suspense. Edwards was given the chance by Legendary's Thomas Tull who put faith in him to pull this off, having previously done Monsters which only grossed $2.6M in total. Tull has played coy in the media on the subject of a sequel, waiting for Godzilla's monster opening to confirm sequel plans. As Dan Fellman (WBros. head of domestic distribution) pointed out, they made more in one night (probably one late night run at 7 PM) than Edwards' movie did in its entire run. Legendary's Jon Jashni developed this along with Brian Rogers and Mary Parent. Max Borenstein scripted from a story by David Callaham. Alex Garcia at Legendary was instrumental in the development of this film working, closely with both the director and writer. 

This article mentions how the 1998 film of the same name grossed around $379 million worldwide and how the 2014 could go on to double that. Read more HERE!

Producer Thomas Tull has indeed been secretive about sequel talk, as we reported a few weeks ago. Read more about an interview with Tull and Edwards HERE!
