Stone now feels that by adhering to the outline of his original script, he is finally able to bring this improved Ultimate Cut, 31 minutes longer, to home viewing audiences.

Godzilla just looks great. I do not know how else to say it. We now have a second trailer for the newest take on the legendary creature (which is being produced by Legendary) and it continues to look like a stunning achievement. The cast is solid, the effects will obviously be amazing, and I am a big fan of where it looks like this story is going. In terms of markeing, Warner Brothers is doing a pretty fantastic job of selling me on what this movie is capable of delivering. I can only hope it meets my expectations, but I at least expected a good time at the movies (in IMAX), come this may. Continue on to see the newest trailer for Godzilla, along with some images, and the latest poster.
