Shinpei Hayashiya Says "Please Godzilla, Don't Sue Me!"

Director Shinpei Hayashiya raised more than a few eyebrows a few years back with the trailer for Deep Sea Monster Reigo, his throwback tribute to classic Japanese kaiju - giant monster - films. The trailer for Reigo got fans all in a tizzy and then the film was held up by lengthy production delays and generally slammed by those who saw it for a host of budget related shortfalls and some dodgy CGI. But that hasn't stopped Hayashiya from going back to the well with Deep Sea Monster Raiga in which his creature takes to the land for some serious stomping. The first teaser has come out and impresses with its sense of authenticity - this could be a vintage Toho film - but the real hook is a brilliant nod to the big G himself. I won't say more than that, just check it out. The teaser is below the break.
