The studios have transformed a section of Downtown San Diego into a scene resembling a destroyed Tokyo, along with a theme park style multi-level Godzilla Encounter that will be open throughout the SDCC.
There's also a first look at the monster's newly designed face, and a piece of concept art - both were unveiled by using an app tie-in.
Aaron Johnson will play the lead. Juliette Binoche Elizabeth Olsen, David Strathairn Ken Watanabe Sally Hawkins and Bryan Cranston also star Character deets are being kept under wraps. Yuki Morita and Akira Takarada, who made his acting debut in the very first Godzilla film as diver Hideto Ogata has shot a cameo.
David Callahan, David Goyer Drew Pearce and Max Borenstein have all worked on previous drafts of the screenplay.-"The Shawshank Redemption" director Frank Darabont wrote the final draft of the script
The film has been in the pipeline for several years, but picked up steam recently - after a proof of concept trailer screened twice during Comic-Con 2012 and got great reaction. The project will "return the character to its epic roots with a gritty, realistic actioner".
The film is being directed by Gareth Edwards ("Monsters").
In a chat with io9, in January Darabont said that both he and director Edwards' goal is to deliver a much more grounded interpretation, one much like the original 1954 film.
Goyer, Borenstein, Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni will produce.
Roy Lee, Dan Lin Brian Rogers. Alex Garcia Patricia Whitcher Doug Davison, Yoshimitsu Banno and Kenji Okuhira will serve as executive producers.
The film will get a 3-D release, but it's unclear if it is being shot that way or converted in post production. Principal photography on the movie due out May 16, 2014, is underway in Vancouver.
