For the past two years, I’ve been quietly working with @BenLamm and the other brilliant minds at @Colossal Biosciences, joining their mission to de-extinct animals such as the woolly mammoth, the dodo, and the thylacine. Today, I’m excited to share a groundbreaking achievement:.

Seriously, try it. Add Godzilla to any movie and it’s instantly a better movie. Star Wars vs Godzilla? Hell yes. Casablanca vs Godzilla? Instant classic.

Playing with my old Godzilla Shogun Warrior and the family camcorder is how I got started. Here’s hoping these SH MonsterArts figures will inspire some kid out there to do the same.

@Mike_Dougherty What do you think about Rodan is called Brown-Noser Assholl Bird （ごますりクソバード）in Japan ? I'm so sorry for Rodan that I can't sleep. He was innocent , he was controlled by Ghidorah, right ?

We did write dialogue for the Titans. It mostly went like this:. Rodan: “Fuuuuuuuuck yoooouuuuuuuuu!”.Ghidorah: “Noooo fuuuuuck yoooouuuu!”.
@Mike_Dougherty Something I've always wondered, when you guys were making all of the interactions among the Kaiju, did you have any headcanons for their "dialogue". For example, Rodan vs Ghidorah and Burning G vs Ghidorah. What would they say to each other in those moments?.

Today is Akira Ifukube’s birthday. #GodzillaMovie.
It is May 31 in Japan and thus the 105th anniversary of the birth of Akira Ifukube. What a great gift to the maestro that Godzilla: KOTM opens on his birthday. Thanks to @bearmccreary, Ifukube's Godzilla Theme in the film will be the perfect birthday music!

I like the idea that her memories are passed on genetically. 🦋.
@Mike_Dougherty Does Mothra keep her memories when she is reborn? Or is it always just a new creature that has an instinct to help protect Godzilla?

Mothra’s spots are modeled after Godzilla’s eyes as an example of mimicry, something fairly common in nature. She is his flag bearer. and Queen. #GodzillaMovie 🦋.
