Yeah we have the Kraken, Fenris and Midgardsormen here in Scandinavia. I think Reptilicus may be a “tribute” for Midgardsormen or something.
Anyway, I’m really happy to see that people seem to like the trailer! Right now I’m working on a new short for the series. So subscribe to GibberingFilms on YouTube, I’ll upload it there when it’s finished.
Again, thank you for showing your interest!

Of course you’re right, Justin — though I was talking about giant monster films rather than mythic creatures, which would be a whole different ballgame, even for Japan. There’s even a couple of very Australian giant monsters of enormous size. One is the Rainbow Serpent of Aboriginal myth — or Kulpunya, a giant dingo whose back story is terrific for this purpose. I’ve actually written a story using Kulpunya — but alas, neither of these giants have appeared on film.

The Kraken would be the perfect giant monster for Norwegian cinematic treatment, but (as far as I know) it’s never been done — not in Norway anyway. In fact, Norse mythology has heaps of giant things — more than anyone else perhaps.

As an American of Norwegian decent I have to say that I’m rather disapointed. Norway has a giant monster, one of the oldest and best, the Kraken, who is already quite famous having had a poem written about him by Tennyson, a novel by Jules Verne, a movie by Ray Harryhausen, and even a chance to swallow Johnny Depp whole. What more could any Norwegian and giant monster movie fan ask for?

Three things.

1) This is the most epic thing on earth.

2) I would love to see a full movie.

3) Do you plan on making more monsters? Like, a giant muffin? Or squirrel?

I’m definitely game for a different country giving their take on the giant monster sub-genre. The concept of a gigantic mythical monster egg is definitely a weird on but the whole look of the teaser just makes me think this could be lots of fun!
