Video: We’ve seen tiny little bits of Hideki Anno and Shinji Higuchi’s Shin Godzilla (AKA Godzilla Resurgence) – including the briefest glimpses of the latest iteration of the King of Monsters himself.
The Japanese movie studio Toho released a trailer for its upcoming monster movie Godzilla Resurgence on Wednesday. This film is the 31st appearance of Godzilla, and the 29th Godzilla film produced by Toho. It’s a film which draws heavily on its cinematic past; bringing back the practical Godzilla, thanks to its suit deftly operated by three people.
The big screen sequel to Gareth Edwards’ recent Godzilla, meanwhile, is slated to hit screens June 8, 2018 from Legendary and Universal Pictures.

The film is expected to release on 29 July in Japan, but no Western release has been confirmed. It also reflects our times, as the original did, and the filmmakers tease that it may not end on such a happy note. But now we’ve got our first trailer for the movie, and wow, does this look awesome.
