Although the two films were produced completely independently, new empire Director Adam Wingard He didn’t even know what Toho was about, but he admitted that when he saw some clips minus one, It immediately influenced and changed a scene in his film.
“I know they’re working on a godzilla movie, but I didn’t know anything specifically until Everyone saw the trailer at the same time we“, Wingard told io9 via video chat. “I don’t remember what it was last year, but we were going well. The movie is at least half done. I do remember being inspired when I saw the trailer. “
What inspired him from the trailer? Wingard explained. “There’s a shot in our movie of Godzilla stomping around Rome, and there’s a close-up of his feet crushing a building that has a mural of him painted on the side,” the director said. “I remember we had been doing that sequence and some stuff related to it, and I just thought, it didn’t feel that strong. I mean, yeah, he was destroying the building, but it had no power. So I just put It’s in the back of your mind because we’re doing a million different other things.”
“Then that Godzilla minus one The trailer came out and there was a great shot, it was a close-up of Godzilla’s foot, but he puts his foot down and it pushes up the ground in front of him. It was as if his steps were so heavy that they pushed up the ground. As soon as I saw this, I walked into the office of visual effects supervisor Alessandro Ongaro with my iPhone in hand. And, I showed him that shot, and I was like, ‘This is what we need to do with our shot.’ ‘”
“So we’re basically going to Godzilla minus one Just outside the door. We did our own version of that shot,” Wingard concluded. “It was very fast in the movie. But if you compare one to one, I think you’ll understand. ” Of course, when he finally saw minus one, and he really liked it. “It’s really nice to see,” he said. “That movie was a Godzilla-centric movie and an ominous version of Godzilla.
