This “Based
On The Trailer” is for the up-coming 2014 “Godzilla”, directed by Gareth Edwards
(Monsters). It’s a great looking trailer
and just gives you glimpses of the star of the film, as it has been done for
years in Hollywood.
I wondered
when they announced that a new version of Godzilla was being made in a post-“Pacific
Rim” world, if it would be any grander than giant robots vs. giant lizards. Would we want to see a movie that only had
one giant lizard and no robots?
If this
trailer is any indication of what the films focus will be, it’s clearly a case
of man vs. a force of nature. Much like “Battle:
Los Angeles” was less an alien invasion movie and more of a war film. This looks like the humans on the ground dealing
with a natural disaster in the form of a 60-year-old movie monster. And it will also most likely focus on the
military response to a giant beast wrecking the city, as shown here with an
impressive halo jump.
I’m looking
forward to the film as a fan of the old Godzilla movies, that I just started
showing to my own kids. And having a
director like Edwards who already proved that he can make a monster movie with
heart, I think he’s the perfect choice for this new Godzilla. Plus having him go up against Bryan Cranston whose
name in the film is Brody, that’s a bold move to be sure. Well as long as it’s better than the “Jaws”
sequels that will be good enough for me.
