This behind the scenes image comes from the classic Godzilla film "King Kong vs. Godzilla".
What the filmmakers are doing in this picture is known as a "purification process", where the purpose is to cleanse the area from any bad spirits so that the rest of the filming goes unhindered. It's a common tradition amongst certain parts of the filming world it seems.
I've actually seen pictures of this process done with Ang Lee's "Hulk". The behind the scenes book I have on that film showcases Ang with some of the producers, crewman and cast (including the lovely Jennifer Connelly) performing this same practice.
Cute that here the filmmakers decided to include Godzilla and King Kong within the purification!
On a quick side note, "King Kong vs. Godzilla" remains the most watched Toho Godzilla film of all with more than 11,000,000+ tickets sold.
