The Latest Godzilla Movies’ Creepiest Scenes Had a Surprisingly Cute Inspiration Source
Both directors silently coincided in their guiding line.
Summary:
- Adam Wingard, director of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, has recently revealed that his pet became a big source of inspiration for him while creating some specific scenes for the film.
- Clarifying what scenes he was talking about, Wingard also added that Takashi Yamazaki literally drew the same kind of inspiration while working on his Godzilla Minus One.
- The director then admitted that he and his colleague hadn’t discussed it before their films were finished, so the coincidence was totally accidental.
Two latest films about a famous monster — Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and Godzilla Minus One — have shown its viewers impressive dystopian scenes for which the latter even was awarded the Academy award.
And though Godzilla in these movies is a synonym for something terrifying, the inspiration for several sequences with the monster may come as both surprising and cute.
In one of his recent interviews Adam Wingard, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’s director, proved that behind his brutal image of the one that brought the brutal creature once again to the screens there’s one bid admirer of his pet.
As Wingard revealed, his cat became the biggest inspiration for the idea of the Kong and Godzilla’s way of hibernation that came when the director and his production designer were brainstorming together.
Thus, it took them only some seconds to look at Wingard’s cat Mischief that was curling up in her cat nest to finally understand what concept they were going to use. And indeed, in the film Godzilla appears to start his hibernation curling up in the similar way in the Roman Coliseum.
What’s even more mind-blowing at this point is that Godzilla Minus One’s director, Takashi Yamazaki, also drew some inspiration from his own cat — and both directors didn’t even discuss their identical approach until both movies were finished.
As Wingard recalled, Yamazaki did confirm that his cat was one of the guiding lines for the movie’s Godzilla, but he didn’t specify in which way exactly.
Adam Wingard’s revelations may become a somewhat shocking, yet heartwarming news for cat lovers who will definitely appreciate the furry creatures’s role in the creation of at least two of the biggest films in the last two years.
