When you watch Monsters you understand that the effects he did on his laptop were in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, I was astounded.More than a few people said to me, "That's kind of a crazy thing to go from that level of film and then hand over Godzilla".

We love being in business with Guillermo [Del Toro]and frankly that movie, if you look it up, did I think more business than the first X-Men, did more than Batman Begins, our first movie, did more than Superman Returns, The Fast and the Furious, Star Trek- so for a movie that was an original property that we made up it's done really well.

Each one [movie] is very important to us and from a fiscal responsibility, filmmakers understand that it's highly personal for us and they've been great about it.

I'm not the worlds biggest remake guy, meaning finding titles and saying, "Hey it's got some brand awareness, let's just make a movie."

The truth is at Legendary we really make movies that we want to see, and someday I'm sure that won't work but - I remember, it's obviously a completely different thing, but our first movie was Batman Begins, and there was a lot of things about Batman back then, and there was this guy named Christopher Nolan, that seemed to have worked out okay with him at the helm.

We just believe in what we make and we're in a very fortunate position to be able to make stuff regardless of what model that follows.

Godzilla it's not a remake, it's our chapter. I think what I'm most excited about is all the principles that we laid out in the beginning, I feel like we were able to hit on those things.
