Talk:Godzilla (1998 film)/@comment-2243814-20150520205802/@comment-25285745-20150915021223

The most recent article discussing Emmerich's hatred of the series was the GODZILLA Unmade four-part story by SciFi Japan. Emmerich, being the snob he is, supposedly grew up seeing the Godzilla films as cheap garbage that kids went to see on weekends to make fun of. He couldn't comprehend why a series like that would have fans, so he passed on the film every time Sony or TriStar offered it to him. He finally accepted on the condition that he could do anything he wanted with the film, and Sony was so desperate to get it made they didn't care. I'm not defending Emmerich, but it's really Sony's fault for basically forcing him to do the film.
