New Godzilla Poster Shows Some Tail

The new Godzilla poster is out an it looks pretty neat. Although, as you can see, it doesn't show much, it does give an idea of the scale of the action (epic destruction) and that the new Godzilla is going look very similar to the classic Toho monster. Unlike the makers of the 1998 Godzilla, these guys understand that the look of the creature matters.

In addition, it is important to get the tone right. The 1998 Emmerich-Devlin effort treated the subject like a campy joke. While there were many elements of the Toho films that could be viewed as silly, they did not treat Godzilla as a joke. Well, a couple of the films from the 1970s may have; but let's not talk about those. If the posters and trailers are any indication, this Godzilla will be similar to the 1954 film and some of the Heisei and Millennium series. Combine this with a huge budget and a great cast and you probably have a winner.
