"Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures has confirmed a 2014 release date for its upcoming Godzilla movie. The 3D blockbuster is due to open in cinemas on May 16, 2014, putting it in direct competition with the Michael Bay-produced Ninja Turtles remake.   Godzilla will be helmed by Monsters director Gareth Edwards based on a script by David Callaham, David Goyer and Max Borenstein. The movie will &amp;quot;return the character to its epic roots with a gritty, realistic actioner&amp;quot;, a Warner Bros press release states. Edwards&amp;#039;s Godzilla will be Hollywood&amp;#039;s first take on the character since the 1998 Roland Emmerich outing. The Manhattan-set disaster movie, which starred Matthew Broderick, grossed $379 million at the worldwide box office but opened to poor critical reviews.
