It looks like we have an early contender for weirdest movie of the year. Just have a look at the trailer for " Colossal".

Anne Hathaway stars as a messed-up young woman stunned to discover she has some kind of strange link with a giant, Godzilla-like monster that is in the middle of flattening sections of Seoul. A monster mash-up of indie comedy and kaiju carnage, it's like "Pacific Rim" except with dive bars instead of multi-story mech suits.

Spanish helmer Nacho Vigalondo directs Hathaway along with Dan Stevens, Jason Sudeikis and Tim Blake Nelson. Currently playing at Sundance, "Colossal" is set to open in theatres in April.
