hawaii being protrayed as odo island?

Actually, it may be possible that it is going to be an island like Odo island. That would be pretty cool, but I doubt it. They can't make this movie exactly like the original, but something like what happened on Odo island might happen in this movie.

yeah you make a good point there godzilla3580

this isn't a remake of the original, it is a completly different godzilla story i'm pretty sure hawaii will most likely still be hawaii. the dr serizawa may only be a reference/homage to the original serizawa, it will not be a remake, a reboot is different and is a better option.

yeah but lets not forget here godzillafan1995 that this godzilla in this film is suppose to be the original thats what got me thinking that they could do that with hawaii

maybe a fictional hawaii tribe/clan belive in a god of destruction called gojira/godzilla, i'd prefer that than to odo island

hey... yeah i didnt think of that either 96 days and counting down still my friend

I'm fairly certain Hawaii is being portrayed as hawaii... I'm fairly certain they filmed extras that actually live there in Hawaii... with ya know... the modern buildings and all the caucasian extras. 

Yeah I'm 95% sure Akagi is right.

I remember reading an article where they talked about cast calling for extras, and shot the scene with people running in front of well known restaurants and stores which are part of a recognizable beachside shopping plaza. 

The people interviewed in the article talked about how pride of having their stores and things included in the film. 

It's going to be hard to include those shots and then try and pretend it's another, less commercialized location
