Hollywood is always looking for familiar properties with pre-sold appeal that can be used as the basis of “tent-pole movies”. Traditionally, these movies prop up the rest of a studio’s release schedule. Done right, they can be the foundation of an ongoing franchise. When TriStar Pictures bought the rights to make an American Godzilla, they expected a trilogy. Instead they unleashed a monstrous disappointment.
