A new spot is unleashed for Godzilla: King of the Monsters featuring one minute of footage with “Beautiful.”
The spot features a look at Rodan, King Ghidorah, Mothra and of course the titular Titan, Godzilla, himself.
“I started with Toho movies to just get a sense of their shapes, their silhouettes, their sounds. Growing up with them, I obviously had an idea in my head, but I really wanted to refresh myself with them, especially because they’ve evolved so much over the decades,” Dougherty tells Total Film magazine in the latest issue. “I wanted to make sure we stayed true to the core traits that really makes us fall in love with the creatures. So, Mothra for example, is very colorful. Ghidorah, again, he’s a three-headed dragon, but he has very distinct traits – the golden scales, the very particular bat-like wings, the crackle that he emits when he roars. It’s trying to retain those key elements, distil them, and update them.”
Godzilla: King of the Monsters gets released May 31, 2019 starring Millie Bobby Brown, Vera Farmiga, Charles Dance, Kyle Chandler, Bradley Whitford, Thomas Middleditch, Sally Hawkins, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Ziyi Zhang, and Ken Watanabe.
The new story follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species—thought to be mere myths—rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity’s very existence hanging in the balance.
