Aaron Taylor-Johnson Discusses Working on GODZILLA

Kick-Ass star Aaron Taylor-Johnson is taking the lead role as a Navy lieutenant in Gareth Edwards' upcoming big screen remake of Godzilla. The movie is going to have a huge presence at Comic-Con this year, and it looks like Legendary is going to go all out promoting it to the fanboys and fangirls of the world. If you plan on attending, it looks like we're in for a epic giant lizard treat. Last year they teased some stunning test footage of the film, and this year we're going to get to see the real thing!

Taylor-Johnson recently did an interview with Total Film (Via: Digital Spy),  and in it he discusses what it was like working on the film, revealing that very little green screen was used. He also explains that working on the film is more like an independent style production, which is interesting because this is going to be a very big tentpole movie for Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures. Here's what he said,

"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 goes on to talk about the lack of green screen used on the film saying,

"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."

Then he talks about the training he went through in preparing for the movie. 

"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 also stars Ken Watanabe, Elizabeth Olsen, Juliette Binoche, David Strathairn, and Bryan Cranston. The film is set to hit theaters May 16th, 2014 in 3D. I imagine a trailer will be released shortly after they premiere it at Comic-Con. I'm excited to see what they are doing with the movie, and especially what the Godzilla ends up looking like.
