Godzilla-inspired animated romp
Call this “sci-fi.” Call this “action.” Call it unworthy of Shock coverage. But we’re…
a.) Big fans of Mike Dougherty (Trick ‘r Treat, Superman Returns).
b.) Fans of the creators involved in this project.
c.) Anyone who cites their movie is inspired by “Godzilla” flicks wins instant kudos in our bloody book.
Dougherty is going to direct the animated feature Calling All Robots for Walt Disney Pictures and Robert Zemeckis’ ImageMovers. He’s co-scripting with Breehn Burns and Simeon Wilkins. Furthermore, because of the scope of the project, he’s using the same performance capture Zemeckis used on Beowulf.
“I grew up watching Godzilla movies. This film is very much rooted in those movies,” Dougherty tells Variety. The plot is being kept secret at this time.
We hoped that, with this news, will come a break in release date info for Warner Bros.’ Trick ‘r Treat. Alas, Variety offered nothing new other than it was pushed from last October’s slot to avoid competing with the slasher fare opening that month.
