New Godzilla trailer is epic

Posted on February 26, 2014 by admin

After much anticipation, teasers and movie poster releases over the last few weeks, the Godzilla trailer is finally out and it’s epic!

This new trailer follows the first teaser released months ago. But this one ups the ante further in scale. The trailer doesn’t completely provide a full view of Godzilla, but enough of the the Japanese monster’s scale and detail that gives us glimpses of how much damage and destruction Godzilla will leave in its wake.

Here we see soldiers air-dropping onto the monster, a shot of a damaged Statue of Liberty, and a truly epic shot of Godzilla rising out of the ocean. I also find the premise that the nuclear tests in the Pacific, originally the source of awakening the giant creature, were actually intended to destroy Godzilla is very intriguing.

All that promises a lot of action and suspense which hopefully washes the bad taste of that cheese 1998 version. Overall its looking like a massive improvement. And that Bryan Cranston… he is mad as hell!

First Trailer Arrives for Darren Aronofsky’s Biblical Epic Noah

The first trailer for Darren Aronofsky’s long-gestating biblical epic Noah has arrived, offering an early look at the filmmaker’s most ambitious project to date. The film stars Russell Crowe in the title role, marking a reunion with Jennifer Connelly, who previously appeared opposite Crowe in Ron Howard’s A Beautiful Mind, for which she won an Academy Award.

Based on the story of Noah’s Ark, the trailer teases a darker, more mythic interpretation of the biblical tale, with images of massive floods, sweeping landscapes, and the construction of the ark itself. Brief moments show Noah grappling with a divine warning that humanity faces imminent destruction, while supporting characters question the cost of his mission. Anthony Hopkins appears as Methuselah, alongside Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, Ray Winstone, and Connelly as Noah’s wife, Naameh.

The release of the trailer follows reports of behind-the-scenes tension between Aronofsky and Paramount Pictures over the film’s final cut. According to industry reports, the production exceeded its original budget, with costs reportedly climbing past $130 million, largely due to extensive visual effects used to create the film’s animals and large-scale flood sequences. The scale represents a significant departure for Aronofsky, whose previous work (Black Swan, The Wrestler, Requiem for a Dream) focused on more intimate, character-driven stories.

Written by Aronofsky and Ari Handel, with revisions by John Logan (Gladiator, Hugo), Noah is set to open in U.S. theaters on March 28, 2014.
