please give it up Rodan lovers, you guys are just in denial. First step, admitting, second step is accepting the fact its a new monster, lets move on.

Pretty good synopsis. Im most interested in seeing what the upside down nuke with the oragne glowing stuff on it is.

Per the script leak (which was obviously legit but several drafts ago) i have an idea of whats going on when they are surrounded by those bones. Hopefully they kept that the same cuz its an awesome concept.

Damn that's a detailed post.  Nice work!

Am I the only one who strongly thinks that Rodan is in this movie?  If you zoom in on the image of that flying monster divebombing the boat it looks like Rodan (that shape entering the water could be him with his wings folded back!).  Further, Rodan's main attack has always been creating supersonic shockwaves from his high speed, which could easily send fighterjets spinning out of control, as was also seen in the trailer. 

Anyways, that's my theory... I'm goina stick with it.  If Rodan AND other monsters are in this film my mind is goina explode.

Duplicate Post, My Bad

Nice

Holy run on sentance batman.  seriously though the train tracks were destoryed by Godzilla's spines and thats ATJ jumping off onto his back.  

Im not sure about these mutos myself... But I can't wait to see the movie!

Lol! XD

I think the flying Mutos are aquatic. That's all I am going to say on that. Now on to the planes falling out of the sky. Did any see that one episode in Godzilla: The Series where they faced a giant bug that when it flapped it's wings it  created an electronic disturbance? Maybe the flying Mutos can do that.  Maybe even through their foot or claws. Well that's my 2 cents.

what do you got for me my man
I have the nick name "ThatOneKidWhoScreams"
if that helps ;)

Am I the only one who thinks that the mutos could be Kamacuras.

@Akagi

All scripts were over sensationalized, but I have to admit... even that one had some painful lines and grammar errors. Still, from what I know, it was a draft written before the next 4 or 5 revisions by Goyer and Darabont. And Aaron Taylor Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen were siblings in that version, not married.

Beyond that I only know fragments and pieces as I like to stay away from spoiler, more or less.

I noticed that too, the jets looked perfectly fine. Wondering what happened to them myself. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that flying MUTO can some how disrupt their gages and such, or completely shut them down. I'm not certain if its EMP or some kind of sonic ability. 

If flying MUTO's wings flap very fast, it could very well be sonic in nature. 

But who the heck knows. I'm still sad we haven't gotten a clear shot of the Muto yet.

Agreed. It just seemed... too likely. I assumed the script was real very early on and as pages leaked, it became painfully obvious to me that it was. I got kinda tired of seeing people who haven't read a script in their lives bashing the pages for being 'written silly'-- scripts are meant to be over-sensationalized literal versions  of a film, it does look silly... a lot of scripts are read outloud to potential directors. Imagine how silly that sounds. Kevin Smith talks about how painful it is to read a script outloud to a potential director/producer.

@King of Zombies

Well when the film comes out, either one of us are going to be singing THIS SONG when the film comes out. At this point though-- I'm fairly certain its going to be me singing that majestic song. Dang thing has become my anthem for many forums and fandoms I belong to.

I already have that song queued up for Kyero after his two page long rants about how Godzilla 'couldn't survive a nuke'.

I have two theories.

#1. The Flying Muto is like Rodan, and can easily take planes down.

#2. The Flying Muto is like Leatherback from Pacific Rim, and has an EMP blast.

@GMAN
Spot on my man, respect

GodzillaFan1995 is probably spot on.

Castle Bravo is the test that most fans think woke Godzilla in the original movie. The test was conducted mid-1954, and that's when Watanabe's character said they woke Godzilla in the trailer.

I kind of figured the script was real based on some background information about it, but the information was simply evidence. Not proof. Akagi's right though. The new trailer pretty confirms that the script was real.

@Godzooki I believe that is Godzilla. :O

I think you should make it alittle bit more difficult to read the text. 

The trailer made my day...especially since I'm in bed with the flu. :(

@Gojira19

The "Godzilla is the star" nonesense is the fan perspective talking. Non-fans may not give a damn about the creature itself, but instead the characters involved in the film. Big names like Cranston and Watanabe taking center stage is a smart move to attract those kinds of people.

Even in the original movie the notion of Godzilla "being the star" was merely an on-set joke. While that ended up being the marketing plan for all subsequent films, actors like Takashi Shimura, who was not simply one of Japan's greatest actors, but a highly revered actor around the world, was widely touted in Japanese previews. And Toho heavily supported Akira Takarada who was the lead in Godzilla as well.

Godzilla may be the title monster, but he's not a lead character. The X-Men are. A better comparison would be the shark from Jaws. Although trailers didn't feature the shark very heavily, the title refers directly to it. Or Alien. The trailers also didn't feature the title creature in that movie very much either. Godzilla is taking a similar approach because, like the other two creatures, they aren't anthropomorphic characters people can relate to (like X-Men). They're monsters, generally considered the villains, that relatable characters are trying to survive.

It's safer to assume that Godzilla is a plot device rather than a character. All the best movies of the series utilized him in a similar fashion and it looks like he'll take that same position here-- though elevated in status by the surrounding characters. If you find said suspense boring I think you should probably keep your expectations in check for this movie. This isn't tokustatsu anymore. It won't be a traditional Godzilla film that showcases representational specticle over presentational suspense.

Im still thinking that the fake script still being fake

The annoyance of 98 film that took his name

90% sure it is the Castle Bravo test (the one that was more powerful than predicted and caused fallout that affected the Lucky dragon 5 crew) 100% sure it is a hydrogen bomb test in 1954

The points above are very fair, and specially because everything is going according the tone of the film, but I still feel unsatisfied. The reason we are going to see this movie is for Godzilla, he is the true main star in this film, and at least I expected to see a bit more of him there; imagine the trailers of the X-men movie without revealing the faces of the characters, kinda absurd, uh? I feel in that way with this without having clearer shots of Big G. But yet again, it's just my opinion due I find the suspense boring. 

Admittedly, I was underwhelmed by the trailer at first. But upon second viewing I understand the genius behind it. Listen, Godzilla fans are going to see this movie regardless, but I think the idea of slowly revealing more and more of Godzilla, a piece at a time, is working for general audiences. It gets them intrigued and doesn't oversaturate the creature. It keeps him looming, mysterious and ultimately creepy. We need to stop thinking of this as a traditional, action Godzilla flick and more like a horror/post-apocalyptic movie, because it's practically how they're selling it. The atmosphere of the trailer is doing worlds more than some by-the-numbers shots of Godzilla roaring or fighting the military would-- which we've seen a thousand times.

I also loved how Watanabe's character said they "awakened something" in 1954. It's like a sigh of a relief. Doesn't sound like they're going strictly for the dinosaur origin or the modern mutation. It sounds like they're sticking pretty close to the original origin that Godzilla was awakened by the atomic bomb.

I also love the insinuation that the arms race was, at least in part, a cover up for trying to kill Godzilla. I love that kind of revisionist history in science fiction.

All in all this looks like it's going to be one brutal movie. I approve of how Legendary is mostly using Cranston and Watanabe to sell it. I also enjoy the apocalyptic feel to the entire trailer. There wasn't a single set piece that wasn't thrashed in it and everything looked like it had a strong sense of urgency to it. I pray this movie is as good as its trailers.

Here's my reaction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77ftKabci48

Well, you're right Jordan, everything is to rise the hype With some suspense; but I never liked the suspense because I found it kinda boring. I remember years ago when someone recommended me to see The Ring saying it was awesome and that gave him chills; but when I watched the movie I got too booooored that I almost fell asleep.

I thought it was...Okay...NAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! THE NEW TRAILER WAS FREAKIN EPIC!!!!!

Personally i cant think of a another way to make this godzilla stand out the movie looks excellent... and who knows this actually might get people to see it now...

Well, rethinking about the scenes, how I would presented Godzilla in the trailer: When the flares are shot, instead of giving a look at the chest I would put Godzilla coming out from the smoke ala one of the drawings of Matt Frank posted here, revealing his face. For the ending I would put a bunch of military jets or helicopters ready to fight, then the view would change into a first person perspective from inside a cockpit, you know the pilot's point of view; then a glipse of Godzilla's facing at particular vehicle just to shot a fiery stream of his atomic breath directly to the screen. Those changes, at least for me would made this trailer a perfect work.

I don't expect them to reveal all of Godzilla until the film is released or images leak. They're using it as a tool to build hype, and I'm okay with that. We now have a general idea of what the king will look like. I think he looks like mean, and serious, which is how he was portrayed in the original film, now he's back c;

Personally I am not impressed. You are right saying the visual effects are really good ,and the Craston speech is kinda appropriate for the level of destruction and all the events surrounding the film, but I'm feel disappointed because still it isn't reveal too muc. They used many scenes from the previous ones and it didn't reveal too much of Godzilla or the Mutos. The closing scene of the bunker is a nice one in context, but for me it cannot give a full appreciation of Godzilla face due he was far away and the perspective is in first person looking upwards; it is comprehensible due the perspective, but still a bad shot; I would preferred something like the scene when Godzilla roars after defeating Orga in G 2000 film, giving more details about his look

It was awesome, I love how they state that the nuclear tests didn't create him but they were trying to destroy him. Maybe the king will get more respect now.
