Five new clips from the upcoming Godzilla have emerged, all of which show off different aspects of the film. The videos below come courtesy of YouTube channel Movies Coming Soon.
It looks like they've made a concerted effort to create more than just a monster movie, focusing heavily on Bryan Cranston's personal struggles, alongside the plights of other characters dealing with the conflict at hand. In the last trailer, we saw Cranston's character faced with early tragedy and loss.
This time around, the majority of the clips focus on the humans who are attempting to monitor various monster-related crises, building the drama and mystery with tense scenes and important decisions. The final clip is the only one to show the monster, climactically appearing at the end of the video following a dramatic speech about the arrogance of man. There's some new information in these videos if you pay attention, so enjoy--or stay clear for fear of spoilers.
There have been dozens of past Godzilla films, starting with the original Japanese version in 1954. Since then, there have been 28 Japanese Godzilla movies from Toho Productions, the last being 2004's Godzilla: Final Wars.
There are four American productions, beginning with 1956's Godzilla: King of the Monsters!. The last was 1998's Godzilla, using the same one-name title as the upcoming film. This means that between the Japanese and American films, there has somewhat surprisingly not been a new film entry in the franchise for over a decade.
Graphics technology has come a long way, and should benefit this series greatly given its focus on a giant animated monster. After seeing how huge Godzilla is in the upcoming movie, we'll likely see something more along the lines of Pacific Rim's scale.
