"Godzilla 2" Rumors: Load of Crap

As a longtime, hardcore, devoted fan of the true King of all Monsters, I had to throw this up there.
Last month a German website announced that Sony Pictures had plans to produce a second, big budget American Godzilla film.
A little history lesson: The 1998 American "Godzilla" was a critical flop and fans of the REAL Godzilla, especially myself, continue to blast it for being so sacrilegious to the true, Japanese series. Seeing the American film as an insult to the real Godzilla, the movie and the monster has been labeled as GINO (Godzilla In Name Only). Director and Producer Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin ("Independence Day", "The Patriot", "The Day After Tomorrow") were responsible for the horrific creation and are to this day cursed by G-Fans worldwide. (And then cursed by historians after the inaccurate Revolutionary War tale "The Patriot" and then by society as a whole after "The Day After Tomorrow". It was after this movie Dean Devlin made a public apology to G-Fans for GINO. He needed friends.)
Before that though a much more promising movie was in pre-production. Stan Winston was on board to do the special effects, an awesome design was put forth by Stan Winston's studio and Jan de Bont ("Speed", "Twister") was set to direct the film. The movie was to tie in with the Japanese series and continue the adventures of Godzilla. Alas Tristar Pictures wouldn't give him the budget for the film, so he dropped out. Then Devlin took over and we got a pile of crap that still haunts Godzilla fans' nightmares.
Well, it turns out the German source was false. Tri-Star/Sony Pictures decided to respond to the article and announce there are no plans for a sequel, THANK GOD. Godzilla will remain dormant until Toho Company Ltd. decides to bring him back in Japanese in a little under a decade. The last Japanese Godzilla film was the 50th Anniversery "Godzilla: Final Wars" (2004), a stylistic, purposefully cheesy and action packed film directed by the widely known Ryuhei Kitamura. The movie featured Godzilla kicking GINO's ass in a 45 second battle.
