Gareth Edwards made a splash at the US premiere of Godzilla, www.walesonline.co.uk reported on 9 May.
The Welsh director of the $160mn remake welcomed fans ahead of the UK release on 15 May. The original film—produced by Toho Studios in 1954—is about a giant monster, affected by nuclear radiation, that ravages Japan.
