Here’s the trailer released in Asia earlier this week.
Godzilla opens pretty much everywhere between May 14-16. Except for Japan of course, where, following the usual tradition of releasing movies months later than everywhere else, cinema-goers will have to wait until July 25 to see the monster rise from the water…
