Gareth Edwards’s 2014 epic reboot of Godzilla may have fared well with some fans, but the mothership to which it belongs, Toho, his aiming for something that aspires greatly to pay homage to many the tropes that made it so memorable as of 1954. Thus, we get the stunning new Godzilla: Resurgence which roars next Friday in Japan cinemas, and with all the authenticity you could ask for in reviving such a property as grand as this one.SYNOPSIS:
A cause unknown, an accident has occurred in the tunnels of the Tokyo Bay Aqua Line, causing an emergency cabinet meeting to convene. Immediately afterwards, a huge creature appears, destroying town after town with its landing reaching the capital. The mysterious giant organism named “Godzilla.”
New TV spots and a second official trailer have been all the rave this week so far with the latter brandishing a vivacious and intense score from composer Shiro Sagisu. For what it’s worth, Godzilla: Resurgence looks like it’ll be an absolute winner for fans alike this summer.
Releases are also slated for Taiwan on August 12, the Philippines on August 24, Hong Kong and Macao on August 25, and Thailand on September 8th with a U.S. date also pending.
