(PCM) Giant Monsters just might be scary again this spring! The new Godzilla trailer is online and shows a larger, more destructive Kaiju (怪獣) ‘Giant Monster’ is on the loose, much more of a menace that when he was first introduced in 1954.
‘Gojira’ is his name in Japanese, basically a mix of gorira (“gorilla”), and kujira (“whale”) in the Japanese language. The creature has often been used as a metaphore, best expressed in Blue Oyster Cult’s lyrics from thier own ‘Godzila’ “History shows again and again How nature points out the folly of men – Godzilla!”
From the extemely worried look on Joe Brody’s (Bryan Cranston) face, we’re anticipating a bit of horror in this monster epic.
Also starring Elizabeth Olsen , Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Sally Hawkins and Juliette Binoche they have amassed quite a bit of star power to the film. Elizabeth and Aaron are also slated to be the brother/sister team of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver in the highly anticipated Avengers: Age of Ultron in 2015.
Watch the two and a half minute trailer below!
Directed by Gareth Edwards, “Godzilla” opens in theaters on May 16, 2014.
