Seems like they are going for a direct sequel (of the original) rather than reboot, which I think is a really smart move. Has anyone noticed the other monsters in the trailer? Tif, I figured you may know, but does Warner Bros./Legendary own the rights to the other monsters beside Godzilla? There are definitely 2 others in that trailer
I saw 3 shots that were definitely something other than Godzilla.... but they could all have been Rodan, one certainly was.
* Pan up shot with Rodan flying straight down towards camera.
* 2 long pointy flat things diving into the water. (I thought these were Rodan's wing tips, wings pulled back to dive into the water like those diving birds)
* A long slender curved/hooked at the end thing hitting the ground. I thought that this could be a finger like thing on Rodan's wing like bats have. Or, maybe Kumonga's leg?

Yeah, I think those are all Rodan. Someone claims that the Shobijin that follow Mothra around are in the blown out rubble of Treasure Island building in the Vegas shot. Better eyes than mine, if that's the case.
Also, the money shot of the soldiers on the roof of the building in San Francisco firing the flares....... I'm not certain that's G. Not sure who else it might be, but I'm definitely of the opinion it's "other".
Fwiw, at ComiCon last summer the director said that his film is going to be more or less based on the 1954 original.

Yeah, because people drank the cool-aid and believed the "best picture" type hype. Then they saw it... and not one talked about it again. Reason... because it actually sucked.
Sometimes I do wonder if the movie industry pushes a movie that they know isn't good... but just by tacking Oscar buzz to it they see if they can get the people to flock to see it. Sort of like... giving Mike Green (Caps) Norris Trophy buzz all year and suddenly the hockey world thinks that he is the best thing since sliced bread. Then people actually watch him play defense and no one talks about him anymore.
