Guys, they tracked this to Ligeti's REQUIEM with a couple of electronic shadings added on top. The very fact that they are using the music from this composer totally tells me that they are heading in the right direction.
That trailer, while sparse, is probably the most exciting thing I've seen in a while. I wish they had shown this before Pacific Rim. Would have been epic in theatres.
EDIT- me thinks Edwards is going for more of a holocaust tone (*like the original Gojira) rather than a playful and ultimately empty blockbuster fluff piece. I still cannot get over him tracking Ligeti to this trailer. That's about the ballsiest move I think I've ever seen for a summer film teaser.

I always admired what Eugene Lourie did with the trilogy of big monsters he was given to do.Beast from 20, 000 fathoms, The giant behemoth and Gorgo--, I was far from the only one who over the years who felt or feel that way. On paper what is it? A big monster on a rampage. But with his talent he made 3 competent films that without being insulting only people who were snobbish against such a genre even before seeing the films didn't see some value in them.From critics agreeing THE GIANT BEHEMOTH was the scariest creature on the loose film ever made. Beast from 20,000 fathoms, a entertaining effort . A New York Times critic saying , try to light a cigarette during the last 20 minutes of GORGO, to this is the best monster movie since KING KONG-33.Lourie helped create a certain vibe of disaster that worked very well with a simple story on paper. A little of Lourie's magic could make this new one a winner.One thing these 3 films had was serious intent, no matter how implausible the story line was.

I totally agree. I remember watching Gorgo as a kid and the scene where the mother comes out of the ocean and lays into the village searching for her baby was scary. Hearing the full grown monster's roar compared to its offspring was chilling to say the least. I really hope Edwards is shooting this as a serious dramatic piece with some outstanding set sequences. I feel that most spectacle films of late have been built around those set pieces rather than from the story up.
I hope focus groups or nervous producers don't pull rank and make him re-edit because it will be too "somber". Hopefully Nolan's Dark Knight franchise paved the way for more acceptance of this kind of tone. Fingers crossed.
