First Godzilla Trailer

Soldiers Air-Drop Into Kaiju Attack in FirstGodzilla Teaser

For a while now, it seemed like Gareth Edwards was working the longest of cons. For two years – and two San Diego Comic-Cons – the director has been teasing his reboot of Godzilla to much fanboy/fangirl glee. But it was starting to feel like the monster of all monsters would never actually come.

But now, there’s an official trailer (above). Godzilla is finally on the way (it hits theaters May 16 of next year). Unfortunately, there’s not much of the magnificent beast to see in this first teaser – just a few seconds of him letting out a terrifying roar – but the mood an vision of this first trailer is pretty chilling. The trailer starts with a white-knucklingly long air-drop of soldiers (led David Strathairn) onto Godzilla’s attack in what looks like San Francisco (kaiju must love that town, that’s where they went first in Pacific Rim). The clip then cuts back and forth between shots of Breaking Bad‘s Bryan Cranston hurriedly running somewhere and everyone else just generally looking freaked out. It’s a moody, freaky piece – and even though it’s light on monster action at least it’s got some monster action, so we’ll take it.

The trailer comes after a pretty solid build-up for Edwards’ flick, which also stars future Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Elizabeth Olson (Scarlet Witch) and Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Quicksilver). There was a viral site that went up just a few days ago and along with it came a few teaser videos and images showing what appear to be traces of monster destruction. Folks have been waiting a long time for this rebirth of the classic Toho creature. Edwards himself acknowledged this at Comic-Con this past summer when he relayed the story that a U.S. customs officer told him “don’t f**k it up” when he was returning from the movie’s shoot in Canada. Here’s hoping he won’t, but it looks like his monster is ready to roar.

Can't wait for this one. What's with the paratroopers and the smoke trails? Are they painting the target? I dont get why they're jumping right into him.
