The Leviathan

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Neat teaser trailer. Apparently a proof-of-concept trying to get funding.

Could work if it the screenplay doesn't get dumbed down to Pacific Rim standards.

That's funny, I was thinking the exact same thing. I'd like to see a more cerebral giant-monster story.

I'm not even asking for something as engrossing as "cerebral." I'll take anything that:

1) appears to have been fact and continuity checked by someone with an IQ above 100

2) has watchable scenes not involving giant monsters fighting other giant human-driven vehicles

So, Moby Dick?

That trailer seems like a new version of Moby Dick.
