Empire Magazine’s Awesome Godzilla Cover

Empire is celebrating the release of the 2014 Godzilla remake with this awesome subscriber-only cover showcasing the King of the Monsters. The art shows Godzilla against a rising sun as an homage to the film’s return to his Japanese traditional “stomping” grounds.

Godzilla is being directed by Edwards (Monsters) and is based on a screenplay written by Drew Pearce, Max Borenstein and Frank Darabont. The cast also includes Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Elizabeth Olsen (Oldboy), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass 2), David Strathairn (The Bourne Legacy, Good Night, and Good Luck) and Juliette Binoche (The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The English Patient, Chocolat). “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.”

Godzilla arises from the depths yet again on May 16, 2014. This new Empire issue goes on sale February 27.
