Everybody’s favorite Kaiju has officially made his presence known to attendees of San Diego Comic Con and citizens alike!
Legendary has treated us to what I am hoping is the first of many cool viral marketing pieces for their highly anticipated re-imagining of Godzilla. The picture below, which comes to us via Twitter (@MyNameIsCedric), is a mural on a warehouse displaying the Legendary logo… Oh yeah, and also a giant claw mark from Godzilla, as well as what some of the more dedicated nerds out there are saying is his eye. I’m not sure if I see it, but I also (sadly) haven’t seen it in person.
Check it out for yourself!
While this is pretty gnarly, I think the more significant information about the film yet has hit the internet relatively unnoticed, via a rundown of SDCC 2013’s Saturday schedule:
“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.”
I think it’s safe to say that Godzilla’s main opposition will come in the form of some pretty badass monsters and not some comically inept military leaders and Matthew Broderick.
So what do you think of this viral marketing? Is it exactly the sort of stuff you want to see as we approach the return of the King of the Monsters, or, like me, do you just want to see some freaking footage already!? Let us know in the comments!
