There's currently a rumor circulating about that [i]TOHO[/i] is requiring [i]Legendary Pictures[/i] to use suitmation in Gareth Edwards' [b]Godzilla 2014[/b] reboot, which we mentioned [url=http://www.godzilla-movies.com/news/654]here[/url] not too long ago. However, this rumor is still unconfirmed, so this topic is still open for debate.

Have your say below!

Suitmation has been around with Godzilla for ever. And they should do that because it would be respect twords the old sereis. However if they do have it be computer animated I wouldn't mind becasue who knows? Maybe it will end up being just as good.

Godzilla has had a longstanding tradition of suitmation. Every Godzilla fan I know has a laundry list of favourite suit designs by film or year, and even those who aren't fans know the films' famed use of rubber costumes. However that's really all a layman to the Godzilla franchise knows...that there are rubber suits. A pretty clear image of a lower budget Eiji Tsubaraya Godzilla film with bad dubbing, floppy costumes, and rotoscoping effects comes to mind. Even with Godzilla's name value, is suitmation really even an option for a pretty bored and seen-it-all modern audience? I think I can learn to accept motion capture (and hopefully anamatronics) as a spiritual evolution to suitmation.

CGI all the way, I'm tired of seeing Godzillas feet bouncing off the ground when he walks. If they CGI it, no flaws.

I prefer the Suitmation because it just looks more REAL with something actually in front of the camera, instead of actors looking up at a white mark on a wall. Suitmation would be ideal, but maybe with CGI to touch up the effects and help them not look cheesy. That said, I'm going to see this movie regardless of whether or not its CGI or Suitmation.

Before attending GFEST, I would have said CGI. After seeing the work, effort and results of tokusatsu, I'd definitely say suitmation. There is a realism there that is missing from CGI. CG has its place of course, but I sincerely hope they will use suitmation. We've come so far with this that it would look awesome.

I prefer a suit because sometimes things look better when theres actually something in front of the camera.

Oh hell no, no guys in a suit please. If thats the way to go then why bother doing a realistic American film, might as well let Toho do it. I'm sorry but except for the original Gorjira every other Godzilla film looks like a guy in a suit on a toy set. And half the Godzilla shots in the 1954 film was a hand puppet. I want to see a film that looks like a creature that you believe is real and breathing. I know most hard core fans hated the 1998 film but the effects for Godzilla were pretty dang good. I'm sorry but a guy in a rubber suit looks silly, it would be a waisted effort to go that way.

They should use suitmation but they wont because the glimpses were cgi and cgi can do much more than suits

if anything they should use the technique that andy serkis and peter jackson use (the name of it escapes me at the moment) so godzilla would a more human element if thats what toho wants. we cant use straight up suits for this movie because none of todays audience will take it seriously

If they did so, it'll be backed with a lot of CGI so it'll still look up to date with our movies. Either way, super excited for the film regardless.
