Have you seen Monsters hivemind? From what I've read Gareth Edwards got the Godzilla gig directly of the back of it. Producers liked the idea of a monster flick that barely showed the titular monsters and focused on the human drama with the creatures in the backgrund. While the film is rubbish (because the human characters are so dull and uninteresting and generally unlikeable) i kind of get the idea, but applying that to a Godzilla movie is kind of missing the point. It would be like a Jurassic Park movie that doesn't show the dinosaurs.
