Godzilla and Kong are out for blood, or to be more specific, the American Red Cross is encouraging people to donate a pint of the life-saving liquid by offering a free T-shirt in exchange. Ahead of the release of Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire, the Red Cross is offering a stylish T-shirt for anyone who visits a blood clinic and donates blood, platelets or AB Elite plasma from March 25 through April 7. It’s a neat piece of clothing featuring the two Titans, as well as the film’s logo. For more details, you can check out the official Red Cross page.
As a reminder, any donated blood is good blood. These are used to perform lifesaving transfusions and offering your blood is relatively painless. Once the needle has been inserted, the hard part is over. Plus, it gives you a great excuse to avoid any strenuous activity for at least two hours after you’re done donating. You get to play your part in saving lives and you have a valid excuse to chill out on your couch or in a movie theater. Everyone wins!
Tickets are now on sale for Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire, as the two Kaiju come together to face a new threat to the planet. A sequel to the well-received Godzilla vs. Kong, The New Empire is once again directed by Adam Wingaard. Just like the Oscar-winning Godzilla Minus One, the new Monsterverse film’s Kaiju king is heavily inspired by cats, particularly Wingaard’s cat Mischief. The director also looked to classic ’80s cinema for more inspiration, and recently revealed how Lethal Weapon’s DNA can be found in the tag team dynamic between Kong and Godzilla.
Returning faces include Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, and Kaylee Hottle, and they’ll be joined by new cast members Dan Stevens, Alex Ferns, and Fala Chen when the film releases in theaters on March 29.
