Ahead of its July 29th debut, Toho's Godzilla: Resurgence is teased in two new trailers that feature footage of the radioactive reptile wreaking havoc in Japan.
Directed by Shinji Higuchi and Hideaki Anno, Godzilla: Resurgence stars Hiroki Hasegawa, Yutaka Takenouchi, and Satomi Ishihara.
Godzilla: Resurgence marks the first Japanese film to feature the rage-filled reptile since 2004's Godzilla: Final Wars. Encouraged by the international success of Warner Bros. and Legendary’s 2014 Godzilla movie, Toho brings the iconic creature back to its home turf for Resurgence.
This version of Godzilla looks like it will crunch its way into viewers' nightmares. The King of the Monsters towers above the skyline in the trailer, its flesh glowing red beneath its scaly surface as its tail whips menacingly in its wake. It might take a lot more than an army of helicopters and tanks to take down this Godzilla. Fans can see the epic battle on the big screen when the film hits theaters on July 29th in Japan.
Co-directors Anno and Higuchi have worked together before, having collaborated on the 2012 animated short, Giant God Warrior Appears in Tokyo and Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water. Additionally, Higuchi is no stranger to the King of the Monsters. He worked behind-the-scenes on 1984’s The Return of Godzilla as well as 2001’s Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack.
