Original Godzilla: "This is the ancient sea monster Gojira, or Godzilla, reawakened from the sleep of millennia by radioactivity from the nuclear blast."

What I can find about the remake (since it isn't out, but I guess you have an informant about the plot) [Interview with Director]:
And this is a "Godzilla" origin story?
Yeah, it's an origin story. I mean, I think those moments in films where everyone learns about these monsters, you know, it's very difficult moments to show on camera. And especially when you have multiple characters. So, I think we've been very careful. I hope we have in the way that we portrayed that. And you know, you can't help but reference events like September 11th and the tsunami.

So it's set in Tokyo?
Not necessarily. it's a global story.

So Godzilla gets around?
Yeah, exactly. It's global. It's not one specific spot. You know, we tried to pick an epic journey for the film.

well, maybe it'll be treated with respect... that's what I hope, if he wants to reference September 11th And the tsunami.

I hope they'll keep a theme of atomic danger, maybe with Godzilla as avenger of nature vs. artificial nuclear monsters, because the arrogance of science hopefully stays a part of the story.
It would piss me off if they would just use the tsunami and not Fukushima if that's such an obvious way to stay true to a core element and say something meaningful, is what I'm saying.

But aren't the Tsunami and Fukushima are still a bit too close, timeline wise, to be the background for a stupid killer lizard action movie? I actually think it would be pretty fucking disrespectful. But to each their own.

I'm trying to figure out how "you can't help but reference" major world tragedies in a Godzilla movie.

I think it's because a giant creature destroying buildings and making huge waves would definitely be reminiscent of several disasters.

Ah, good point.
