Legendary Pictures Starts Casting Godzilla, I Yawned
Wed, February 6, 2013 
While Frank Darabont continues to pound away on the keyboard developing the latest draft of Godzilla Legendary Pictures is in talks with Elizabeth Olsen & Bryan Cranston to star. According to Variety, Aaaron Johnson is also negotiating with the studio to come aboard the project which is scheduled to stomp it's way into theaters May 16, 2014.
I'm still flabbergasted that the Legendary Pictures is willing to throw a monstrous amount of money into a Godzilla movie. I really can't picture this film doing well with the general public. Kids aren't playing with Godzilla toys and no teenager has a Godzilla poster on their wall. Nostalgia isn't going to help build a box office foundation and I'm not sure a monster smashing things is going to translate to dollar signs by default.
Maybe a cameo by King Kong?

Its best to never assume things off the top like that,
I have seen several teenagers with Godzilla posters and figures, most of my friends have them as well.
Hell, some of them still have the Trendmasters Godzilla figures from the 1990s, SpaceGodzilla, Biollante, Gigan etc. Just because YOU haven't seen any of this, doesn't mean that such a thing is non existent.
After the bombed 1998 Godzilla, the majority of the general public actually want a good Godzilla movie.
Just like Batman's revival after the gruesome Batman and Robin live action film.
