[QUESTION][META] how the monster will be done

gotta shoot this down · Guest

Sorry, but I'm going have to have to shoot this down. If it was an old timy thing, the trailer would have hinted it. The producers would NEVER advertise a hardcore monster movie with tons of special effects and then give us a guy in a suit.

Sorry but this is a horrible thread. Good day.

you know, judging from the measly 30 mil budget, my bet is they probably wont even show the monster that much in the movie, rather, focusing on the story of rob and his friends.

The latest Godzilla movies STILL had Gojira and company in a suit, and that wasn't half-assed.

J.J. may also be using the idea of H.P. Lovecraft

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is Fear. And the oldest and strongest kind of Fear is Fear of the unknown."

Using this idea, they would probably never show you the entire monster, as to add to the horror of it. *after all, they called the script, "The horror movie to end all horror movies" according to IGN*

mabye this movie will have the same impact as Jaws, but it'll make people scared to go to NYC?

I can just see it, within the time this movie is in theaters, NYC becomes a ghost town.

Don't think that "guy in a suit" necessarily means "a 60s type ridiculous Godzilla costume".
Many modern horror/monster movies use makeup and costume effects. The Alien saga is a good example of this. A good portion of the Alien shots used a guy in a suit. It was a hyper cool suit, but a suit nonetheless.

It could very well be that, or entirely CG, or a combination.
