The New ‘Godzilla’ Trailer Is Here, And It’s Amazing!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Following yesterday’s reveal of Godzilla’s new roar, Warner Bros. has just debuted an epic (epic) second trailer for the film.

The first trailer for Godzilla debuted all the way back in December, so seeing some new footage is definitely welcome at this point. Since the first trailer’s debut, all we’ve really seen from the project is the announcement of a tie-in graphic novel, and a cool new poster.

The wait has been worth it. The first trailer was excellent, and this one is better. The closing shot, the destruction, just all of it… I’m getting chills just thinking about it! Just watch the damned thing, and let us know how cool you think it is!

Hear ‘Godzilla’s New ROAR, New Trailer Tomorrow?

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: The first trailer for Legendary’s Godzilla debuted back in December, and as awesome as it was (it was freaking awesome), it left us wanting so much more. Since then, all we’ve really seen from the project is the announcement of a tie-in graphic novel, and a cool new poster.

Today, the studio debuted a short new video that gives us our first listen of the monster’s new roar, and the official website has been updated with new audio and a countdown to tomorrow at 10 am PST.

Take a look (and a listen) to Godzilla’s roar below, and head here to listen to some epic lines from Bryan Cranston’s character.

‘Godzilla’ Gets An Epic New Poster

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Back in December, Warner Bros. and Legendary released the awesome first trailer for Gareth Edward’s Godzilla. Since then, aside from the announcement of a tie-in graphic novel, we haven’t heard or seen much action in terms of marketing.

Today, the studio debuted a bad-ass new poster for the film, which (of course) features a city in absolute chaos, and an unscathed-looking Godzilla walking away from the destruction. Take a look at the image below, and let us know if you’re excited! Godzilla hits theatres on May 16th!

Didn’t make it to SDCC last year? Legendary also put on an amazing ‘Godzilla Encounter‘ event, which you can check out here!

Just Like ‘Pacific Rim’, Legendary’s ‘Godzilla’ Is Getting A Prequel Graphic Novel

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Before last year’s awesome Pacific Rim hit theatres, a prequel graphic novel called Tales From Year Zero release, which furthered the mythology of the Kaiju emergence, and showed us the very beginnings of the Jaeger program that’s all but disbanded in the film. The book was an excellent exploration of a world shattered by the Kaiju, and I certainly hope that if Pacific Rim cannot continue as a film series, that a comic book series is released at some point in the future.

Godzilla director Gareth Edwards and Legendary announced today that Godzilla will also receive a prequel graphic novel. Here’s the announcement:

In May 2014, audiences will witness the epic rebirth of the King of the Monsters as Legendary and Warner Bros. bring Godzilla to the big screen. To pave the way for the iconic creature’s return, Legendary Comics is proud to present the official graphic novel Godzilla: Awakening. This 72-page story, set decades before the film, is co-written by Max Borenstein (screenwriter of the new Godzilla) and Greg Borenstein.

 

Delve into an incredible mystery, generations in the making. At the dawn of the atomic age, humanity awakens lifeforms beyond imagination, unleashing monumental forces of nature. This explosive, larger-than-life adventure is the perfect way for fans to experience the new Godzilla before seeing it in theatres.

 

Godzilla: Awakening is illustrated by Eric Battle (X-Men, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman), Yvel Guichet (Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero, Superboy Annual, End of Nations), Alan Quah (Rage, The Vampire Diaries, Anywhere) and Lee Loughridge (Batman Adventures, Arkham Asylum: Living Hell, Marvel Zombies Return), and features cover art by Arthur Adams (Godzilla, Fantastic Four, Hulk, Uncanny X-Men).

And here’s a word from Gareth Edwards:

Did you enjoy the Pacific Rim graphic novel? Will you be picking up the Godzilla book? Sound out below!

Here’s The Monstrous First Trailer For ‘Legendary’s ‘Godzilla’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: It’s finally here. The first official trailer for Gareth Edward’s Godzilla has just debuted online, and it’s everything that I imagined it could be.

Remember that Godzilla film that we all wanted back in 1998? I feel as though this may just be that movie. The trailer is very much a teaser, and opens with a pretty breathtaking scene of a HALO jump over a city ripe with destruction. The preview shows off some of the film’s incredible cast, gives us a fairly good look at Godzilla itself, and is 100% bad-ass for its entire duration (though I wish it gave us a little plot). Seriously, I can’t wait to get a look at this on the big screen.

It’s been a long time coming, but it looks as though it’s all been worth it. Take a look a the first official Godzilla trailer below, and let us know what you think! The film hits theatres on May 16th, 2014!

New Plot Details Emerge For Legendary Pictures ‘Godzilla’

by Shawn Madden

There’s been quite a bit of news regarding Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures Godzilla this week. Earlier today Warner Bros. promotional arm held a webinar on their upcoming slate, and included amongst that was a few plot details regarding Gareth Edwards new and “realistic” take on the legendary monster.

-The film will feature more than one monster, confirming that two new monsters will also be wreaking havoc – this in addition to the big green guy.

-Warner Bros. made it clear that their interpretation of the material “follows the story of a solider” and is “way different” than the Toho Godzilla films.

Well, it looks like we’re not going to be just seeing Godzilla tear through a city but perhaps take on a few of his classic monster enemies. Or perhaps he’s going to be taking on some brand new ones? There’s no word as far as that goes at the moment.

Frank Darabont Finalizing NOT Re-Writing ‘Godzilla’ Script

by Shawn Madden

There’s been quite a bit of news regarding Godzilla today. We learned of Frank Darabont was being brought on board to help with the script as well as a short list of actors up for the male lead. It appears there has been some misconception regarding Frank Darabont’s involvement with the Garth Edward’s directed film. The Godzilla 3D Facebook page has revealed that Darabont is NOT re-writing the script but rather finalizing it.

There’s a bit of misconception and worry surrounding the news of new writer Frank Darabont writing Godzilla. He is NOT RE-WRITING the script, he is finalizing it. This is how the process for the film went…

– David Callaham submitted the first draft
– David Goyer rewrote the first draft & fleshed the story out better
– Max Borenstein completed Goyer’s rewrite
– Drew Pearce finalized the characters
– Frank Darabont is finalizing the full script.

The story has not changed at all. Just some revisions.

Current word is that the film will begin production on March 14th and filming will take place in Vancouver and Hawaii. So, despite some legal troubles with producers it appears that everything is on track for the next Godzilla film. From what has been shown (if you were lucky enough to be in Hall H at Comic-Con) and talked about regarding this film, it sounds like they are taking it very serious and Godzilla fans should be in for a real treat.

‘Godzilla’ Reboot Gets A Release Date!

by Scott Alminiana

Today Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures announced that Godzilla will smash his way back into theaters on May 16th, 2014 in 3D. That date just so happens to be the release date of some other green reptiles as well. That’s right, Godzilla will be going head-to-head with the Michael Bay produced TMNT reboot. Who will come out on top?!

The Godzilla reboot is being directed by Gareth Edwards, who previously directed the movie Monsters. David S. Goyer, David Callaham (Expendables 1 & 2) and Max Borenstein (The Seventh Son) wrote the script.

Based on the fan reaction from the teaser that was shown at Comic Con (just ask Geekscape’s own Shawn Madden) fans have something to look forward to. Hopefully the reboot will make us forget all about the Roland Emmerich/Dean Devlin abomination from the 90’s. But maybe, just maybe we’ll be lucky enough get another P Diddy song that samples Led Zeppelin…just kidding!
