I still don't know why Toho won't agree to this. I mean, obviously now is not a good time for a new movie (Japan isn't really into kaiju at the time being), but it worked to a 50th/40th Anniversary film. Shusuke Kaneko even offered to direct it, and have Godzilla win. Then again, without Final Wars, we wouldn't have gotten some great stuff, like Zilla vs. Godzilla.

I'm possitive, though, that Gamera will get a 50th anniversary movie, though.

Guys, let's take a quick look at one thing...

Every crossover film ever made has been a box office hit, but was hated by the fandom that wanted it. King Kong vs. Godzilla had terrible effects and the entire Kong half the storyline was ludicrus. Freddy vs. Jason was full of crappy lines and had a terrible script. And both Alien vs. Predator films were considered failures, too.

Crossover films are a major recipe for failure. I guarantee you if Godzilla vs. Gamera comes out, it'll be well-recieved at first but as time passes, fans will begin to hate it and it's shortcomings.

There's also the whole fact if Gamera wins, Godzilla fans get pisted and if Godzilla wins, Gamera fans go emo.

@ JVM: That's true, but don't forget that Kaneko has had experiance with both Godzilla and Gamera, and all four kaiju movies he directed were HUGE in Japan, being hailed by fans and critics alike.

Then again, Ishiro Honda has directed both amazing films and one or two bad ones, so it wouldn't be a guarentied success.

^ On the topic of Kaneko... I don't like GMK very much. Just figured I'd throw that in the field.

Sean S. Cunningham directed the first Friday the 13th and IIRC produced almost every sequel, and Robert Englund had been in every NOES film. You'd think uniting the guys who'd both been crucial to both series' developments would help. No, it didn't, FvJ still was horrible and is the second most-hated F13 or NOES film.

At Godzillafoolguy: You can never do a tie, because it will always make it seem like somebody wins. If Gamera did a mana blast and both died, people would still say Gamera won. If Godzilla killed Gamera, then succumbed to wounds from earlier, they'd say Godzilla won. If they both fell off a cliff, they'd say Godzilla won cause he could swim. If Gamera died, Godzilla was killed by the military, Godzilla would win.

There's no way to do a tie without doing something absurd like bombing them both.

JVM:There could be a way of the big G's having a tie.Gamera fires out a plasma fireball at Godzilla,Godzilla fires out his heat-beam at it,blows up,a tie.Gamera fires that mana blast out of his chest,Godzilla fires out his spiral ray,the 2 powerful blasts blow up.Tie.
