Synopsis: In this gritty, realistic sci-fi action epic, the Godzilla franchise returns to its roots as one of the world's most recognized monsters. Directed by Gareth Edwards and featuring an all-star international cast, this spectacular adventure pits Godzilla against malevolent creatures that, bolstered by humanity's scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence.
Edwards directs from a screenplay by Max Borenstein and Oscar nominee Frank Darabont, with a story by David Callaham and Max Borenstein, based on the character "Godzilla," owned and created by TOHO CO., LTD. Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni are producing with Mary Parent and Brian Rogers. Patricia Whitcher and Alex Garcia are serving as executive producers, alongside Yoshimitsu Banno and Kenji Okuhira. The behind-the-scenes creative team includes Oscar-nominated director of photography Seamus McGarvey, production designer Owen Paterson, editor Bob Ducsay, Oscar-nominated costume designer Sharen Davis and Oscar-winning visual effects supervisor Jim Rygiel. The score is being created by Oscar-nominated composer Alexandre Desplat.
