PRESS RELEASE: Godzilla Teaser Revealed!

12.11.2013 – Godzilla who has been Japan’s iconic Kaiju has been previously announced to return to Hollywood in 2014, and this is not the tuna-fish-eating monster from 1997.



This is the classic creature that everyone outside of the US grew up to see, where it was also inspired by the monsters that appeared in the recently successful Pacific Rim. Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures have just revealed the teaser trailer for their upcoming spectacular adventure…

An epic rebirth to Toho's iconic Godzilla, the film pits the world's most famous monster against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity's scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence.
