Actually, Disney was considering doing a Gamera movie in the early 2000s and would feature Leslie Neilsen (of Naked Gun)...the premise would pretty much follow the Showa story. This actually scared a lot of daikaiju fans as I remembered it being reported on Monsterzero especially after the kick ass Shusuke Kaneko's triology. THANK GOD THAT CONCEPT WAS DROPPED!!!
On a side note, Cartoon Network has made a deal with Kadokawa (Daiei) to do a Gamera animated series based on the Millenium Gamera film, "Gamera-Little Braves."
It's the very bad acting and lousy dubbing that makes it unappealing to me, these Japanese science fiction movies. I can't stand it.
An American Gamera movie? It's interesting that in American pioneering movie history the 'monster' in a movie originated from there first and then the Japanese were inspired by this and created their own take from it starting serious at the beginning and even though as they went on the concepts seem to be interesting but also some unintened(?) silliness seem to cripple this, such as the goofiness in adult dialogue and the way characters interact with one another. It would be interesting if Ridley Scott were to give some thought on the matter, though. It's interesting that the giant monsters in Japanese science fiction movies are somehow successful while in the U.S. of A. the man sized monsters or amorphous types are successful. King Kong is a one of a kind type of idea. There are no man sized monsters created by Japan that is famous. The creature from the lagoon owns this spot.
I'm sorry, but what does that have to do with the anything? man sized monsters, giant monsters, is there really a difference?

Absolutely not. You can't take the classic Japanese monster movies out of the context in which they were made. I don't mean political events, as drove the story for "Godzilla", but the time and place of the Fifties and Sixties, of special effects that look cheesey to us today, of bad dubbing out of synch. These were the movies I watched as a kid back in the early 70s, and I enjoyed them immensely. But to remake them today would just ruin them. Look at "Godzilla" with Matthew Broderick. That was an absolutely awful movie, despite enjoyable performances by the cast, and it never should have been made.
sharethe challenge won't be to make it better than the original , the challenge will be to make it worse
shareWe saw how well the US version of a Godzilla movie went.
I don't know a lot about anything but I know a little about practically everything

We don't need an American version of "Gamera;" the original is fine the way it is.

I absolutey agree with Woodyanders.
What you see is not necessarily what you get,
Not trying is dying, keep trying unto death....
Tell the Japanese your idea. They have the ability to make a monster film that stands up to Hollywood thanks to CGI. Gamera the Brave looked damned impressive. Or you could just write an original monster film and use Gamera for your inspiration.
