They need to go back to the original idea. He wasn't a superhero, he wasn't a supervillain, he was stone cold horror. You have to understand that after having two atomic bombs dropped on them, the Japanese were scared crazy about what had happened to their world around them, i.e. nature. They are very superstitious people, so the "what have we done to nature?" mentality and seeing nature rise up and literally begin a campaign of obliteration is scarier than Jason walking around the corner with a machete. Actually, before he was designed as a dinosaur, he was designed as a monster resembling a mushroom cloud. Make Goji scary again. And after seeing GMK, it's not impossible by any means. His freaked-out eyes gave me chills.

This is an excellent example of what I'm talking about. Except, make him eerie.

This. Guy. All. The. Fucking. Way.

Get Neil Blomkamp to direct it. Have you guys seen the trailer for District 9 or the Halo shorts? Man that guy has photo-realistic CGI beasties DOWN.

This! Fuck! I want This!
Also, nice to see that you also like Neil, his particular way of filming plus the sun-setting lighting in most of his shots do help make the CGI in his film look more real, off course, I bet he's an expert in those camera-lighting tricks, since he himself made the computer effects for most of his shorts.

I particularly don't know what movie I like to see remade.
Well, after playing prototype, I guess I'd love to see a remake of John Carpenter's The Thing, I felt that the movie doesn't quite explain how the alien takes over your body.
I haven't seen anything like the shape-shifting gore-fest that movie was.

Also, maybe a remake of Tranformers Beast Wars, the series is perfect as it is, but having it remade with today's technology and new action sequences would be totally fuck-win.
