The teaser trailer for Godzilla has just been released and fans’ first look at one of the most anticipated motion pictures of 2014 certainly doesn’t disappoint. The trailer shows a city under attack by the titular, dinosaur-like creature, with members of the military scrambling to respond to the beast and its antics. There’s even one frightening glimpse at the enormous creature itself: Godzilla Trailer (Teaser) Gareth Edwards’ take on the classic story/behemoth strives to be different, darker, bigger, and scarier, he ambitiously teased at this year’s Comic-Con. “There’s nothing sci-fi, it’s very grounded and realistic,” he said. “I’ve never worked this long and this hard on something that lasted just a few seconds since I lost my virginity.” Well played. The Godzilla cast includes Elizabeth Olsen, Breaking Bad ‘s Bryan Cranston, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe, Juliette Binoche and Sally Hawkins. Godzilla is due to hit theaters on May 16, 2014, pretty close to another large-scale sci-fi project. Check out this morning’s Jupiter Ascending trailer !

Until today, I thought Legendary Pictures ‘ effort to make yet another contemporary Godzilla reboot was a seriously misguided idea. I know that almost 15 years have passed since Roland Emmerich’s 1998 take on the reptilian Japanese scream queen hit theaters, but that movie was such a dark, senseless and empty mess that it effectively killed my once fervent love of the big-ass monster genre. Okay, so there were other contributing factors, too, like terrorists in planes who managed to knock down the two largest buildings in New York. When that happens, big mutant lizards don’t exactly cut it anymore. But I digress. Emmerich’s Godzilla debuted three years before 9/11, and the thing that’s most infuriating about the movie is his tiresomely conventional attempt to top the original Japanese movies by just making his reboot bigger, noisier and more Godzilla -ier. The same goes for Diddy, then Sean Puff Daddy Combs, who contributed an equally bombastic song to the soundtrack, “Come With Me,” that, as far as I’m concerned is a sacrilegious use of Jimmy Page’s great guitar riff from Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir.” (Page apparently didn’t think so at the time. He appeared in the crap-tastic video for the song, which references the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.) The more ambitious thing to do would have been to mine the campier, Mystery Science Theater 3000 – worthy elements of the Godzilla movies, such the Peanuts, the Japanese twin-sister singing group who played the tiny priestesses that were able to communicate with Godzilla’s winged rival, Mothra . But who am I kidding? Emmerich doesn’t deal in subtlety or wit. The reality is, that whether it’s Emmerich’s fault or not, movies about giant mutant creatures terrorizing a city or town don’t move the needle anymore unless they think smaller — on a human scale. J.J. Abrams’ Super 8 and the Abrams-produced Matt Reeves-directed Cloverfield worked for that very reason. The monsters in those films were really catalysts for interesting human drama. To a lesser extent, I felt the same way about Gareth Edwards’ Monsters , so my interest was piqued when he was hired to direct Godzilla and, at Comic Con last summer, promised “a grounded and realistic film that isn’t particularly sci-fi,” according to a CinemaBlend post at the time. Well, to paraphrase Leonardo DiCaprio’s signature line in Django Unchained , Legendary had my curiosity, but now they have my attention with the news, reported by Deadline , that Frank Darabont is rewriting the Godzilla script. The beauty of The Walking Dead under Darabont was that the human conflict and relationships taking place over the first two seasons of the AMC series was way more compelling than the creative zombie deaths. Each of the survivors was a distinct, fully fleshed character that I grew to care about over the course of the series, and that made their peril all the more intense and terrifying. Factor in the excellent script Darabont wrote for The Shawshank Redemption and, although the odds are pretty steep, if anyone can make me care about big-ass mutant lizard again, it’s him.

In the immortal words of Blue Oyster Cult’s Buck Dharma, “history shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man.” He was singing about Godzilla and we’re speaking about him, too, as Hollywood has decided to lay another bet on the city-stompin’ monster from the Far East. Yes, Godzilla, pop culture’s most famous advocate for nuclear non-proliferation is emerging from the seas once more. There’s been no secret that Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. have been planning a remake of Godzilla (or Gojira if you’re nasty) with British make-a-movie-on-your-iMac whiz Gareth Edwards at the helm. However, Latino Review broke the scoop that the Japanese lizard will be making a surprise appearance at San Diego Comic-Con. LR has a great track record of being right on this sort of thing — indeed, their announcement that Marvel’s gap on their upcoming slate will be filled with a Guardians of the Galaxy film has been all-but-confirmed . (Although just a few weeks back they swore it would be Black Panther .) The important thing to consider is this: the San Diego Convention Center’s Hall H is massive (over 6000 seats! so many T-shirts!) and the sound system is so state of the art it makes clips from Jonah Hex seem really impressive. I doubt there will be any finer geek moment of triumph when the lights dim and Godzilla’s trademarked screech erupts. By the way, when I say trademarked, I mean trademarked. When you have an iconic sound like that – the MGM Lion, R2-D2’s blips or, I dunno, Fran Drescher’s laugh – you protect it. The Godzilla roar, if you’d like a bit of trivia, was actually created by rubbing a leather glove covered in resin across the loosened strings of a standup bass and then slowed down. We need to wait til we get to San Diego to find out what take Gareth Edwards (whose only previous feature was a Sci-Fi In Name Only indie Monsters ) has, but I can’t imagine the scream isn’t part of it. Frankly, just thinking about it kinda gets me jazzed up enough to forget the Roland Emmerich version from 1998. *If you aren’t old enough to remember hanging out in 1970’s heavy metal vans, Blue Oyster Cult’s “Godzilla” is still the finest American adaptation of the character. We’ve included this video to jog your memory. [ Latino Review ]
