    The film was announced in the trades as The Monster from Beneath the Sea. During preproduction in 1951, Ray Harryhausen brought to Dietz and Chester's attention that Ray Bradbury had just published a short story in The Saturday Evening Post titled "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms" (it later was anthologized under the title "The Fog Horn").[11] This story was about a marine-based prehistoric dinosaur that destroys a lighthouse. A similar sequence appeared in the draft script of The Monster from Beneath the Sea. The producers, wishing to share in Bradbury's reputation and popularity, promptly bought the rights to his story and changed the film's title to match the story's title. Bradbury's name was used extensively in the promotional campaign. It also had an on-screen credit that read "Suggested by the Saturday Evening Post Story by Ray Bradbury".[12]
     
     
    Interesting fact:  This discussion got me researching 'giant monsters from the sea' and I just learned that the Kraken is not part of Greek myth, it's actually part of Scandinavian folklore.  So there.

    For my own experience, I never hear anyone being excited about King Kong.  At all.

    And like the monsters in the 2014 Godzilla, it seemed to be constantly following the main characters around the setting despite them being too small for it to take any notice of most of the time!

    Well, those I know who are kaiju/Godzilla fans are far more excited by the prospect that we might see Mechagodzilla in this movie because K vs G has to be a swerve of some kind.  The one person I know who is a 'King Kong' fan is more a fan of the movie King Kong because it's a great and tragic story about man exploiting, then destroying nature.  King Kong is not a kaiju creature and doesn't belong in a kaiju movie in my opinion.  I feel like the fans who are excited just because "Cool, KK is fighting Godzilla!" are similar to those fans who were excited about Batman vs. Superman just because "Cool, Batman is fighting Superman!"  I mean, no offense to those folks, but we just have different tastes.  YMMV. 
     
    PS:  If there is some added excitement, I'm not seeing it.  Perhaps its just because it got a Super Bowl bump.  I mean, there seems to be a new Fast and Furious movie out also, and I do hear that people are pretty excited about that.  I haven't seen the last 5 or 6? of those though.  I had trouble with these 'street level, gritty drag racing characters' - which I kind of liked - undergoing this massive and wonky transformation into what seems to be The Avengers With Cars.
