At an IMAX revival screening of Godzilla-1.0 at TOHO Cinemas Hibiya on the 8th, director Takashi Yamazaki said the film opened all kinds of doors for him and recalled Mio Tanaka emerging from the new film so worn out he thought he might collapse. Tanaka, who plays Tatsuo Hotta, said he cried after watching it. Godzilla-0.0 releases in less than a month.
James Watkins, director of DC Studios' Clayface, said in a remote interview that Tetsuo and Godzilla Minus One shaped the film. He named David Cronenberg's The Fly as a model for the transformation story. The film stars Tom Rhys Harries as an actor whose face is ruined and who turns to a forbidden mud-based treatment. It opens in Japan on October 30.
