Godzilla Resurgence (2016)

The tail is silly, but the twig T-Rex arms are just as distracting.

Showed Mrs Klen7 the trailer.... She asked why the military was shooting at Godzilla... I told her he is probably the villian in this film...she said "oh I don't like that".

So apparently WB passed on this and it will be released here by a small company called New World Cinemas.

^I'm gonna wait for some more confirmation on that, because that outfit is smaller than micro and they apparently said they'd release the film last August, several months before we know Toho went to shop the film around at that industry event.

Also, Gephardt Daily isn't exactly a major news outlet. They may have just stumbled onto the Facebook post.

... and the company's twitter consists mostly of retweets of Donald Trump's, which doesn't lend to the credibility of seeming like an actual company.

Gormaru Island are pretty reliable though

This doesn't make any damn sense. DVD only by a micro company? That's unacceptable for any sort of film. The Asylum has higher standards.

Dang, I heard new world cinemas and was thinking New World Pictures and conflated it with New Line Cinema and thought we might finally be getting that DVD of to go along with Shin Goji. Unfortunate.

I don't know what to think of this movie anymore. All CGI Godzilla isn't what I was expecting and that leaves me a little worried. I just hope it isn't 5 minutes of VFX stretched out over 2 hours of movie. I just don't want it to be boring.

If this distribution stuff is true, I feel like I will need to preorder 2 copies before it disappears for years like several other films in the franchise.

From a source that I talk to, says that the japanese public doesn't really care. However, this source is kinda jaded cause Toho burned him, so take it as you will. I think Toho markets Evangelion with this it'll do well.

The trailer has allayed the greatest concern I had about this movie, namely Anno's ability to frame live-action. Cutie Honey looked like something a bunch of teenagers cobbled together with a camcorder, but it looks like Anno has learnt to approach live-action with the same exacting attention to detail as his animation work.

Considering how often the 1954 film has been name-dropped as a touchstone for Resurgence, I was a little surprised that the vibe of the trailer was more reminiscent of Return of Godzilla. G himself carries that atmosphere of dread from 54, but the bureaucracy-heavy human scenes look pure 84. I'm hoping that this will be the Godzilla movie to address the realities of disaster response situations that are so often brushed over, such as the enormous logistical nightmare of evacuating an entire city, and the cloud of poor communication that hampers emergency services and relief efforts. The 2014 film did a pretty good job with this, but I'd like to see it more in-depth. It can be difficult to make believable though, as I recall from some people's reaction to the shots in G2014 where people were still standing around in their offices while the MUTOs were tearing up the city. The stampeding crowd is a kaiju movie staple, but the most common reaction to extreme situations is a lethargic response. Amanda Ripley wrote a fascinating book about this called The Unthinkable, which I believe is where I read that it took people an average of six minutes just to leave their desks after the first plane hit the World Trade Centre, and that was just the ones who made it out. Getting people to save themselves can be a battle in itself.

The music is an interesting choice. The choir sound like the heralds of a wrathful god, but there's a mournful tone to it. I hope this is how the actual score will sound.

I think its insane that this trailer already has 1.7 million views. I'm absolutely loving the hype going on!

[DannyBeane]

Seriously, that third person shot of the tank turret swiveling around to target Godzilla is one of the most inventive and beautiful shots I've ever seen in a Godzilla film.

[Dai]

It's hard to tell due to the weird harmony, but I think the choir are singing in English. I hear something like "...are the innocents" at 0:50 and "With you I pray..." at 1:00. Can anyone make out any other parts?

[DannyBeane]

I recut and redubbed the shin-goji trailer. I had to use some pretty bland stock sound effects because I couldn't find quality ones from the Toho films. That said I hope you all enjoy it...
