INFOGRAPHIC: Godzilla in Manila
What if Godzilla sets foot in Metro Manila? In this infographic, we size up some Manila landmarks vs. this gargantuan creature

 

MANILA, Philippines – Move over, Smaug: the original monster is back.

This May, GODZILLA returns to the silver screen. One of the most intriguing things about the remake is the massive growth spurt that Godzilla gets. The trailer gave hints of a looming figure rising from the sea, wrecking havoc in the city, burning forests, and smashing skyscrapers with his massive tail. The official poster shows the hulking reptile flanked by skyscrapers that barely reach his waist. This seems to be the largest Godzilla, ever.

But how big is Godzilla now?

To set the record straight, we’ve gathered Godzilla’s official stats (courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures). For good measure, we’ve sized up some of Manila’s iconic landmarks beside the gargantuan creature.

 

The legendary monster is joined by an ensemble cast that includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass), Oscar nominee Ken Watanabe (The Last SamuraiInception), Elizabeth Olsen (Martha Marcy May Marlene), Oscar winner Juliette Binoche (The English Patient, Cosmopolis), and Sally Hawkins (Blue Jasmine), with Oscar nominee David Strathairn (Good Nightand Good Luck, The Bourne Legacy) and Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Bryan Cranston (Argo, TV’s Breaking Bad).
