Godzilla - Official Teaser Trailer

"Your courage will never be more needed than it is today."

- William Stenz

The Godzilla Official Teaser Trailer was the initial trailer for Legendary Pictures' 2014 film Godzilla, and was uploaded to Youtube on December 10, 2013.

Trailer
This trailer begins with William Stenz briefing a large squadron of soldiers, including the then-unnamed Ford Brody on the HALO jump, a method of entry into the city of San Francisco. This squad is then seen preparing within a large aircraft, and proceed to jump out of the craft.

They plummet down through the clouds, going through a dense storm, before breaching the harsh weather, revealing a burning, and demolished city below. As they near the ground, Ford spots Godzilla, slowly wading through the city, being illuminated by bright flashes of lightning.

The sequence of events following are part of a montage over slowly escalating music.
 * Joseph Brody running through the Janjira reactor.
 * A group of military personnel walking in front of a train during the night.
 * Ford Brody lowering his weapon with an expression of shock on his face.
 * A MUTO biting the front end of a train off, with people falling out as a result.
 * Elle Brody hugging her son Sam Brody.
 * Another military group slowly opening a vault.
 * Ishiro Serizawa looking into a brightly lit exit in a cave.
 * A large explosion at an airport.
 * Ford jumping off a train track.
 * Vivienne Graham having to steady herself as the environment around her shakes.
 * Military personnel preparing a nuclear device.
 * School children running.
 * Sandra Brody looking up in shock as she assists a fallen worker.
 * Joe Brody covering his mouth in shock as he sees Sandra behind a bulkhead that's closing.
 * A flattened train.
 * Ford slowly turning to face the then unseen MUTO.
 * A nearly bisected building.
 * Elle looking up in shock at the then unseen Godzilla.

The final scene is nearly identical to the 2012 Comic-Con trailer, showing Godzilla shrouded in dust and debris, turning around to let out a loud roar, before the film's new logo is revealed.
