Here’s the ‘Scary’ Godzilla From Japan’s ‘Resurgence’!
Godzilla: Resurgence is deep into production, and with that comes leaked shots of the famous lizard in action.
What you’ll see below are various behind-the-scenes looks as Godzilla in Toho’s latest incarnation, which look to have some inspiration from the enormous Attack on Titan monsters. I like that he looks scary, something that’s been promised by Toho and the filmmakers since day one.
Godzilla Resurgence is co-directed by Hideaki Anno (Evangelion), who also wrote the script, and Shinji Higuchi (Attack on Titan). Toho will be releasing the film on July 29th, 2016. It is their first production of Godzilla in over 12 years.
Higuchi is under order to keep Godzilla details secret. But he is promising the most terrifying Godzilla that Japan’s cutting-edge special-effects movie-making can muster. Applying to Godzilla is a “hybrid” technology, which has never been attempted in Japan.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
