“Godzilla” Viral Trailer Awakens The Truth Michael Lee, February 24, 2014 The Godzilla viral campaign seems to be starting up once again after taking a slumber for the past few months. The MUTO website teased the inevitable release of the first trailer, which was more of an announcement teaser than anything else. By not showing us the reptilian kaiju, fans were eagerly awaiting what the great beast would look like. Now a couple of teasers that have appeared on the official Godzilla site under the Awaken the Truth page have popped up, and they only hint at Godzilla’s great power. Hit the jump to check out both videos.The first video is just a 12 second tease of Godzilla’s roar. Mighty and powerful, it strikes fear into anyone.

Why is Cranston demanding answers? We’ll just have to see when the new trailer appears tomorrow.Godzilla opens in theaters May 16.
