A Yahoo Movies exclusive reveal, we’ve got a brand new look at a new 2014 Godzilla film poster! As you can see this image makes the king of monsters seem much larger than previously thought. From Yahoo:

“The new poster gives us one of our best looks at Godzilla yet, though what’s most striking isn’t the creature’s design (pretty traditional and awesome) but his sheer size. He towers like a lizardy colossus over his target city of San Francisco, easily twice as big as its tallest building, the Transamerica Pyramid — and, as that skyscraper stands at 48 floors, that makes Godzilla himself about 100 stories high.”

So what do you think of this new image? Is this just a misinterpreted scale on the poster artists part? Or could Godzilla actually be this gargantuan? Sound off in the comments by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this article.

Dread Central has reported that the following King Kong movies will be release on Blu-ray on April 1st this year:

  • King Kong VS Godzilla
  • King Kong Escapes

Synopsis can be seen below:

King Kong VS Godzilla

When an underhanded pharmaceutical company goes to a remote tropical island to steal King Kong for advertising purposes, they get more than they bargained for when the gigantic ape attacks an unsuspecting village and an enormous octopus. Meanwhile, far below the sea, a submarine crew unleashes reptilian terror when they melt a block of ice and release the ferocious Godzilla from his icy lair. When both destructive monsters descend on Tokyo, it’s a fight that holds the future of mankind in the balance in this knock-out film that was the first theatrical release to bring its larger-than-life contenders to the big screen in glorious color.

King Kong Escapes
King Kong, having fallen in love with the beautiful Lt. Susan Watson (Linda Miller), is kidnapped from his Mondo Island home by the evil Dr. Hu (Eisei Amamoto) to dig for precious gems in a mine when the robot MechaKong is unable to complete the task. Soon, though, the machine and the real Kong engage in a tremendous battle that threatens to level Japan.

Read on to check out posters for both.
