In the latest issue of Total Film, actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson discusses filming the upcoming Godzilla reboot from Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures. He says that working with its crew is more like an independent film than what he's done before. "The Godzilla crew is such a small group of people that it feels more like an independent movie than anything I've ever worked on." He also goes on to reveal that he has done little work with green screen on the monster epic, stating that director Gareth Edwards has filmed "everything" on location, and will add the CGI afterwards. "I've hardly done any green screen stuff for it, he's [Edwards] really clever at doing the special effects. We'll shoot everything raw on location, on the streets, and he's going to put it all around us." Finally, Taylor-Johnson comments on his training for his role as a soldier. "There's an etiquette for guys in the military, so there was training for that, how to hold guns and how to run and to talk to other officers. I love all that."

Godzilla was recently confirmed to make an appearance at San Diego Comic-Con later next week, as a part of WB/Legendary's panel. With that in mind, hopefully we'll get a trailer soon. Taylor-Johnson will soon be seen in Kick-Ass 2, which hits theaters August 16th. He is also reportedly at the top of Marvel's shortlist to play Pietro Maximoff/Quicksilver in The Avengers 2, which arrives May 1st, 2015. Stay tuned to CBM for more news as we have it.

Godzilla stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe, Elizabeth Olsen, Juliette Binoche, David Strathairn and Bryan Cranston. The film is set to hit theaters May 16th, 2014 in 3D.

that's really awesome! I love it when directors do this!!

Just slightly a pity that they shot this with the Arri Alexa... I would've used 35mm to give it a more raw look and some IMAX for the really big scenes, with also the beginning of the film and the ending entirely.
However, they probably had to went with the digital camera's, then I would've went with the CineAlta f65, damn, that's a good digital camera! Would've been great if they used that one. Even the new digital IMAX camera's in addition, oh yes it could've been SOOOOOO much bigger. And I think Godzilla deserves that kind of size.

Either way, I'm confident in this, I really hope they give us a teaser trailer this month, I'm really interested in this!!!
