Generally, when filmmakers are shooting films that are heavy on sci-fi and the other than larger than life elements, they approach actual scientists and experts to avoid making theoretical or factual errors in the movie. Yesterday, the makers of Godzilla had a chat with real emergency people about how they would deal with a threat like Godzilla.
Director Gareth Edwards has revealed about this 'Monsterverse Watchalong' with the experts. He tweeted, "So, the real emergency response people came to talk to our production about how they would deal with a threat like Godzilla. It was the most surreal experience to sit in a meeting like that with PowerPoint presentations. #MonsterverseWatchalong."
The representatives of the production houses Legendary and Nerdist have also participated in this event. "It was the most surreal experience to sit in a meeting like that with PowerPoint presentations," Edwards further added.
The makers of Godzilla are doing all these meetups amidst a lot of difficulty due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. All the film productions got stalled. All the major film releases got postponed to next year. This might make Godzilla Vs Kong clash with other big releases next year. As of now, Godzilla Vs Kong is waiting to hit the screens on November 20th this year. We have to see if it gets postponed to the newer date in the coming days.
Godzilla's first part got released in 2014. The sequel of it, Godzilla: King of the Monsters released on May 31, 2019. Both the films were hits at the box office.
