The king of the monsters returns, this time to devastated post-war Japan, in the terrifying first trailer for Godzilla Minus One.
It’s been a good while now since the last nightmarish return of Godzilla, the king of the monsters, in Japanese cinema. Although the American Legendary Godzilla series has chugged along with silly, popcorn-munching installments such as, we haven’t seen the far more disturbing Japanese incarnation in a live action setting since 2016’s excellentGodzilla Minus One
, which just debuted its first genuine trailer. And it’s immediately clear from watching this footage that this isn’t the family friendly, Showa-era iteration of Godzilla by any means–check out Unlike what some fans had previously speculated, this entry in the series doesn’t pick up following the disaster response seen in, which portrayed Big G as essentially a rapidly evolving threat to the existence of all mankind. Set in the present day, that film ended with mankind successfully rooting and freezing the monster in place, just as it appears in retrospect that he was beginning to break apart into smaller, human-sized forms.
Some lines from the trailer, such as “that monster will never forgive us,” coupled with an appearance of Godzilla that looks burned or scalded, suggest we may even get into elements of the monster’s creation, or the roots of the grudge it bears against humanity. Notably, this looks to be an entirely CGI-based iteration of Godzilla, under the oversight of director Takashi Yamazaki, as studio Toho moves further away from its longtime use of actors in suits to portray kaiju.
