Legendary Pictures is celebrating the release of their upcoming “Godzilla” film by returning to the roots with a nod of sorts to the original 1954 film. The film company has issued a new poster in black and white, which is the same format Toho’s 1954 “Godzilla” film was released in. This one-sheet showcases the true size and girth of the new and rebooted ‘King of the Monsters.’ Check this guy out!

Here is the basic storyline for the film.

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

The action/sci-fi/thriller “Godzilla” is scheduled for a May 16th release.  The film stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Bryan Cranston, Elizabeth Olsen, Juliette Binoche, David Strathairn, Sally Hawkins, Ken Watanabe, Richard T. Jones, Brian Markinson, Patrick Sabongui and Akira Takarada. Max Borenstein, Frank Darabont and Drew Pearce wrote the screenplay based on the story by Dave Callaham and David S. Goyer.
