'Godzilla' 2014 reboot monster movie director Gareth Edwards and producer Thomas Tull talk making May 16 blockbuster

Every bit of news surrounding the upcoming May 16, 2014, blockbuster release Godzilla has been building so much hype for those excited to see the rebooted monster movie. In a recent Q&A session after the film was screened, director Gareth Edwards and producer Thomas Tull talked all about the movie and what we can expect.

"We were trying to put more into it than just a simple monster movie," Edwards said. "Because the original was definitely a metaphor for Hiroshima and Nagasaki and a very serious film, so we were inspired to try and reflect that."

Edwards went on to explain that, like the original Japanese movie that pointed a damning finger at the United States for nuclear weapons, his 2014 adaptation targets those with nuclear arms since his monsters are fed by radiation.

"The West ... we police the world and go, 'You can't have nuclear power. You can't have it. But we can have it, and we have nuclear weapons,'" the director explained. "And what if there were a creature that existed, creatures that were attracted to radiation? Suddenly the tables would be turned, and we'd be desperately trying to get rid of that stuff."

Meanwhile the topic of a possible sequel or sequels popped up, but producer Tull was hesitant to make any promises.

"We're passionate fans of the universe," he explained. "My biggest dream from this, frankly, is that [kids] go to this movie with their parents, and a long time from now, they're talking about how this is what made them a Godzilla fan."
