On the verge of his 70th birthday, grumpy ol' Gojira is ready to kick off a new cycle of onscreen mayhem with a brand new film and an updated look.
Last Monday, Toho revealed the new trailer for Godzilla: Minus One. As hinted by the teaser and the mouth-watering remarks from the director himself, this is set to be the grimmest, most harrowing take on the King of Monsters since the very first film, which came out back in 1954. The trailer seems to confirm that - 90 seconds packed with mass destruction and genocide.
One particular scene that must not have escaped the keen eye of the crush fetishist happens 35 seconds in, when Godzilla's foot comes visibly down over a fleeing throng, burying a dozen people or so right under it.
Well, correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this is the very first time, after decades of teasing and taunting (even current crown-bearer 1998's Godzilla refrained from showing someone actually being crushed) that we get to see the King of Monsters really planting his huge stomper over some puny, little humans.
This feels extra satisfying when you notice that Toho decided to restore Gojira's characteristic dino-like three-pronged feet for this iteration of his design. Plus, when you look at the models, you also can't help but notice how the design team beefed up those paws, so they look absolutely huge on his most recent body. That is a more than welcome upgrade, after Legendary decided to equip their Godzilla with a pair of amorphous, elephant-like feet for their own franchise.
After the aforementioned stomp-happy fest that was Godzilla '98, it looks like it will finally have a true contender for most crushalicious movie ever made, a quarter of a century later. After seeing that trailer, I'm positive that scenes featuring crowds of innocent Japanese getting squished will be sundry in this new Godzilla film.
It was about time, no?
