For some time now there’s been a fair amount of hand wringing over the much anticipated reboot of the Godzilla franchise and for good reason, if you’ve ever watched Roland Emmerich’s failure pile of a movie back in 1998.

Last night the first official trailer dropped and the Internet went crazy, especially over what looks like a pivotal scene from the movie involving a Halo Jump. Directed by Gareth Edwards who gave us the criminally underrated sci-fi flick Monsters in 2010 the film also stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, (Kick-Ass). It’s due for release in May 2014.
