Godzilla director picks favourite monster movies
It might have seemed like stunt casting to choose Gareth Edwards, the director of Monsters, to make the latest film version of Godzilla.
However the young director doesn't seemed phased by the scale and budget of Warners' monster movie and based on the early trailers it looks as though he's knocked it out of the park. Fans at least will be glad to see the Godzilla himself appears to follow his more traditional form, rather than the more lizard-like version seen in Roland Emmerich's 1997 film.

As we get closer to the release of Godzilla in May, Warner Bros. are giving us a chance to get to know Edwards better. In a series of of weekly interviews, Gareth divulges his experience of taking one of the biggest movies of 2014. In the first interview Gareth reveals his top three movie monsters, whilst the remaining interviews will be launched on the Wednesday of each week in the run up to the film's release. You'll be able to find the interviews at https://www.facebook.com/GodzillaMovieUK, so if you want to see them all then like the page for regular updates.


Godzilla
is released in the UK on the 16th of May from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures.

The film pits the world's most famous monster against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity's scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence. Gareth Edwards directs and the film stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass), Oscar nominee Ken Watanabe (The Last Samurai, Inception), Elizabeth Olsen (Martha Marcy May Marlene), Oscar winner Juliette Binoche (The English Patient, Cosmopolis), and Sally Hawkins (Blue Jasmine), with Oscar nominee David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck, The Bourne Legacy) and Bryan Cranston (TV’s Breaking Bad).
