Godzilla - Official Main Trailer

"In 1954, we awakened something..."

- William Stenz

The Godzilla Official Main Trailer was the second trailer for Legendary Pictures' 2014 film Godzilla, and was uploaded to Youtube on February 25, 2014.

Trailer
This trailer begins with Joseph Brody speaking to an unknown person, requesting to speak to somebody in charge. He insists that "they're hiding something out there", as multiple shots of destruction are presented. He then angrily expresses that "it's going to send us back to the Stone Age" as Godzilla's snarl is heard, and an overhead shot of Godzilla is seen as he swims underneath a large aircraft carrier, raising a small fleet on his back as he rises from the ocean.

The destruction caused by his arrival is seen briefly before Brody's voice over cuts back with a simple "God help us all".

The familiar theme of "Requiem" begins to play as scenes of a military group uncovering a slime covered nuclear device are shown. Ishiro Serizawa is then heard for the first time, saying they had awakened something in 1954. With his assistant Vivienne Graham asserting that the nuclear tests in the Pacific weren't tests, but were trying to kill "it".

Joseph's monologue continues, stating "you have no idea what's coming" as more destruction is seen. Ford Brody conversely asks "can you kill it", as the first shots of the MUTO are seen.

As planes fall from the sky in a bleak and overcast San Francisco, Serizawa states that "the arrogance of man is thinking nature is in our control, and not the other way around".

The sequence of events following are part of a montage over Godzilla's roar.
 * A MUTO's claw slams down onto the ground.

 * Elle Brody carries her son Sam Brody as she looks on with a worried expression.
