Godzilla Pitch Meeting

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to 2014’s Godzilla!

Godzilla is one of the most popular movie monsters of all time, which means every once in a while, a new Godzilla movie comes out! With the craze of cinematic universes popularized by Marvel- Warner Bros set out to launch the Monsterverse in 2014 with Godzilla, directed by Gareth Edwards.

Godzilla definitely raises some questions though. Like why is Bryan Cranston killed off so early and unceremoniously? Why are we now following his much less interesting army son, who just kind of follows the action? Why is Godzilla kind of teaming up with humans? Why is he in charge of balancing nature? Why aren’t we getting to see the actual fights? Why doesn’t Godzilla use that atomic breath move all the time? How fast in that little whalewatching boat?!

To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Godzilla! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

“There’s a main character on the ship, so he’s gonna avoid it.”
“Oh, a very considerate Lizard” 🦎

[lanceturley]

What an incredible cast of memorable characters this movie has. There's Wife Nurse Mother, Soldier Son Father, Let Them Fight, and Bryan Cranston.

“Sure it is, just ask my sons Ben and Jerry”


“And *Outback Steakhouse* ”

[opedromagico]

- _“..and she ends up dying!”_
- _“Oh, that is fatal.”_

It cracks me up every time 🤣

"Godzilla did a back flip, snapped the monster's neck, and became the savior of humanity. Just like Superman."

[MyChaotica]

"They need a lot of radiation to do that."
"Oh, kinky."
Haha

[powwowken]

"So we're gunna see them fight?"
"Yeah.... No, we're gunna cut away"
Literally this entire damn movie in a nut shell

[VChlorok]

- Aha so is he gonna use THE ONE SKILL we've stablished he has, and d̶i̶f̶f̶u̶s̶e̶ defuse the bomb?
- Nah
I'm crying

[zekegore]

If you pay attention these two are starting to understand each other so much they're practically saying each other's lines by now.

“And then Godzilla dives into the San Francisco Bay and disappears”
“But isn’t the San Francisco Bay 12-15 feet deep on average”
“Yeah whatever”

[Wonder_WomansBaby]

"Wife, Nurse, never been so insulted & amused at the same time!! Lol 😂🤣

[Galimeer]

Can you imagine if the movie was actually called "Muto" and Godzilla's inclusion was a complete surprise in the movie? That first scene at the airport would've been insane

[TX]

Imagine if the movie was actually called MUTO and actually having no godzilla in the marketing... then BAM! godzilla appears at the Hawaiian airport... that would have been awesome

[raisinrobby]

“And she ends up dying!”
“Oh, that’s fatal!”
This is exactly what I come to pitch meetings for 😂😂

[Wyeuca]

Everytime he says "Unclear, " I lose it. Just the thought of a screenwriter casually dismissing gaps in logic to keep the story moving forward, just seems so plausible.

[army]

As an EOD tech I can 100% confirm that somewhere right now there is a Navy EOD tech following a SEAL team around saying exactly that. “Hey guys, can I come along?”

[giorgimamalashvili]

Yeah, Walter White, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch being in a Godzilla movie is TIGHT.

[yopedraza]

"What's her personality?"
"Wife nurse mother" a bunch of movies write characters just like that

[anandiganguly]

"Oh definitely 2 actors that would also make convincing siblings"
Lmao

[randomuser]

"Coz, I write the lines he says"
"Oh so, you made him say that."
*A bunch of Hollywood screenwriters and George Lucas wants to know your location*
