Take a good look at this because Godzilla is coming to wreak havoc upon your puny souls in May 2014. Pardon me for being overly-dramatic but it had to be done!
Gareth Edwards, the filmmaker behind 2010's Monsters was rumoured to have helmed the directorial role behind a certain reboot a couple of years ago. And that reboot turned out to be none other than Godzilla.
Having experienced the travesty of a monster flick that was Godzilla (1998) with Matthew Broderick, I was overjoyed when I heard about the reboot. Okay, maybe I wasn't completely fond of the idea and felt a little reluctant. But those mixed feelings did not last long due to the barrage of screens, and announcements Legendary kept pouring on fans via their Facebook page and Twitter. Suddenly, the thought of a steroid-infused Tyrannosaurus Rex-like creature rampaging through a populated city seemed gratifying.
A few months ago Gareth Edwards revealed a 2-minute trailer for the highly-anticipated film and I speak for all those wanting to see good ol' Godzilla go to town when I say, "I am pleased." The trailer starts off filled with anxiety, featuring an iconic soundtrack that instantly reminded me of Kubrick's 2001. Grim is the best word I can come up to describe the atmosphere. And that high-pitched roar at the very end struck fear into my very bones. I seriously cannot wait for this!
