In just two months, GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS will be stomping across theatre screens, and the more we see of this new entry in the Godzilla franchise the more it becomes clear that director Michael Dougherty (TRICK 'R TREAT) has crafted exactly the sort of Godzilla movie I want to see. One in which the world is being threatened by an outbreak of giant monsters – including Rodan, Mothra, and Ghidorah – and the only thing way humanity can survive is if we unleash Godzilla on these other creatures. As Ken Watanabe's character (who returns in KING OF THE MONSTERS) said in the 2014 GODZILLA movie, "Let them fight."
A new TV spot has been released for GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS that features some new footage of the "beautiful" monster mash this film will have to offer. That TV spot is embedded below.
Written by Dougherty, his KRAMPUS collaborator Zach Shields, and GODZILLA / KONG: SKULL ISLAND's Max Borenstein, KING OF THE MONSTERS follows
the heroic efforts of 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.
In addition to Watanabe, the cast includes Vera Farmiga, Millie Bobby Brown, Sally Hawkins, Kyle Chandler, Zhang Ziyi, Aisha Hinds, Charles Dance, Thomas Middleditch, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Randy Havens, Jonathan Howard, Anthony Ramos, Bradley Whitford, and Elizabeth Ludlow. The motion capture performances for the three heads of Ghidorah were delivered by Jason Liles, Richard Dorton, and Alex Maxson.
GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS is set to be released on May 31st.
