Excited for Legendary Pictures’ new take on Godzilla? Yeah, we are, too; but holy cow, are we going to be waiting a long, agonizing time for it to get here. Read on for the first details on when Big G will be stomping around a theatre near you!

According to Deadline, Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have set their reboot on the Godzilla franchise for May 16, 2014. And it will be in 3D. The move was made by studio domestic distribution president Dan Fellman and international distribution president Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, along with Legendary Pictures.

The Gareth Edwards-directed film is being made in partnership with rights owner Toho. Godzilla has appeared in more than 25 films, multiple television programs, video games and book series. Legendary, which has been developing the project, and its partner Warner Bros. will return the character to its epic roots with a gritty, realistic actioner.

The project will fall under Legendary’s overall agreement with Warner Bros. Warner Bros will release it worldwide except in Japan, where Toho will.

And the waiting begins…
