The dead just don't stay dead long these days...

Toho studios has announced it's re-starting the Godzilla series,
three years after they killed him off in Godzilla vs. Destroyer.
Apparently, while Godzilla died at the end of that film, a "Godzilla
Jr." morphed into a slightly smaller version of his dad. This, I'm
guessing, is where the new film will pick up. It's tentatively titled
"Godzilla Millenium", and it starts filming in April. From what I
hear, Toho decided to do more Godzilla flicks after seeing what
Hollywood did to him. Although my source on this could have
mis-interpreted the news. I hear the Tri-Star Zilla was doing good
box office in Japan initially...maybe it ended up doing so well that
Toho decided the series was still lucrative. I kind of hope it was
the former myself.  : )

I read somewhere recently that as Tristar sequel was almost a certainty
since although the box-office wasn't all it could've the merchandising paid
off.  having said that I do remember reading a while back about Godzilla Jr
inheriting the mantle Godzilla Vs. Destroyer
