      Limitiert auf 2.222 Exemplare! Sechzig Jahre nach der Premiere von Tohos Film-Klassiker von 1954 kehrt der „König der Monster“ zurück auf die Kinoleinwand in einer neuen Inszenierung von Gareth Edwards. Edwards, relativ neu im Filmgeschäft, leitete ein gigantisches Produktionsteam auf einer kreativen Reise zur Wiedergeburt dieser Ikone. Die Chronik dieser Reise, erzählt in lebendigen Bildern, umfasst den intensiven Entwicklungsprozess des neuen Looks von Godzilla, die dynamischen Dreharbeiten und die anspruchsvolle Postproduktion. Vollgepackt mit bislang unveröffentlichten Illustrationen, die die erstaunlichen Arbeiten zum Design der aufregendsten Version von Godzilla zeigen, bietet das Werk atemberaubende Konzeptzeichnungen, Storyboards und Skizzen, die die Grundlage für die fantastische Optik bildeten. Detailreiche Interviews mit Edwards, dem Kreativteam und bekannten Schauspielern wie Aaron Taylor-Johnson und Bryan Cranston beleuchten jeden Aspekt der Filmproduktion, vom Kostümdesign über visuelle Effekte bis hin zu den natürlichen Feinden von Godzilla, den MUTOs. Abgerundet wird das Buch durch eine 12-seitige Ausklappsektion mit einer „Galerie der Monster“ und dem offiziellen Filmposter, was es zur ultimativen Ergänzung des bombastischsten Filmevents des Jahres macht.
