Producer Dean Devlin discusses how the never-made sequel to Godzilla 1998 was meant to set the Hollywood franchise back on the right course.
Godzilla 1998's never-made sequel was originally supposed to put the franchise back on track. The film, which was the first American attempt to mount a film featuring the titular irradiated monster after he debuted in the 1954 Japanese classic Gojira and appeared in 21 Japanese sequels up to that point. However, the American version turned out a lukewarm box office performance while being largely lambasted by critics and audiences.
We made an intellectual decision that sounds good in the room, but is really terrible for making a movie.We decided that Godzilla was neither good nor evil — it was just an animal looking to reproduce. It was a threat to us because it puts us at risk in order to survive. That's an interesting way to approach it, but it doesn't tell the audience how they're supposed to feel about the title character.
I have so much PTSD from my experience with Godzilla, I could never bring myself to watch the new version. That chapter of my life is closed.
