New Godzilla (2014) Teaser Trailer
I'm absolutely dying to see this. The 1998 Roland Emmerich piece of shit was one of the worst movies I've ever seen, and of course, Zilla was nothing but an embarrassing insult to the true King of the Monsters. Yes, I love Godzilla especially the original 1954 film and the 1985/1984 classic. I haven't been a fan of Toho's latest output (note: big fan of Shin Godzilla but this was written before that). It has been full of craptacular CGI even Final Wars, which I could barely sit through despite Zilla getting a wonderful death (too bad the fights were so short). I think Legendary knows exactly what to do with this as evidenced by employing Frank Darabont to help with rewrites and their smart choice of director. If you didn't see Gareth Edwards' first film Monsters, you should, because it was quite good especially for a micro-budget debut so here's hoping he nails this. So far, the tone is perfect, and Bryan Cranston definitely raises it up a notch. Not to mention, David Strathairn. I do prefer the original proof-of-concept Comic Con teaser, which this includes enhanced bits of, but this isn't too bad either. I just want to see it... now.
I love it when I see a trailer that makes me giddy to see something. This definitely brought out the wide eyed monster kid in me. Man, I hope they don't screw the pooch with this.
ReplyDeleteYeah, me too. Thankfully, I don't think there's any way they could mess this up as bad as Hollywood's last attempt. I'm anxious to see a full trailer although I hope they don't give everything away.
DeleteI'm a filmmaker about to shoot my first horror movie and I've been looking through your blog for inspiration on how my main monster should look. Thanks for posting plenty of pics.
ReplyDeletehere's a clip of what I've shot so far, hoping to make the "demon" more disturbing.

Sorry for never replying to this! I think I just missed this comment. That's awesome! Congrats on making your first horror movie! I hope it all went well! It's tough to make a demon really disturbing these days but I like to look at artists such as Zdzisław Beksiński and Sebastian Kowoll for inspiration.
DeleteGosh I just watched the trailer. Wow! They seem to be taking it seriously this time, with the right kind of respect for the source material.
