Godzilla King of the Monsters Production Crew Thread

Post by TheSecondComing »

I searched this subforum all the way through last May looking for this thread, but I suspect that it was deleted during the last hack. So, let's try it again.

Anybody who's read these threads before know how this works. IMDB is the main source, and any other information that arises can be shared by anyone. When the studio releases an official list of credits, confirmed names will be posted in bold letters. New info today to add to what has already been known for months. #4 as of 2/6/2015.


Primetime Emmy nominated director - attached Gareth Edwards (Godzilla, Monsters, Untitled Star Wars Project) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2284484/

screenplay Max Borenstein (Godzilla, Kong: Skull Island, Swordswallowers and Thin Men) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1440919/

producer Thomas Tull (Godzilla, Pacific Rim, Inception) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2100078/

assistant to production controller/assistant to production executive Julianna Politsky (Godzilla, Pacific Rim, Kong: Skull Island) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5510498/

Haven't found any other sources for this new information, so surely this is a joke listing much like Tommy Wiseau on the first Godzilla, but somebody has added more crew for Godzilla 2:

#8
music by Junkie XL (Mad Max: Fury Road, Man of Steel, Destroy All Humans!) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0432725/

EDIT: Brian Tyler has been deleted.

#9. As above, the inability of finding any other source so far is also true for this update.

John Paesano would be fantastic, but aren't composers usually revealed during production? Not holding my breath either.

Just looking at this thread. So they did hire someone for casting. Hopefully that means they've been actually looking for people, or already have some and are just waiting to release some news.

Also, yeah, composers usually aren't known till during production. Desplat is doing Edward's Rogue One, so my bet is he'll be doing G2 as well. Now that I'm thinking about it, whose doing Skull Islands score?

What was wrong with Desplat? I honestly like his g14 theme more than the original theme. Even if you didn't like it as much as me, I thought his score had gotten near unanimous approval.

I like Desplat. I can't wait to listen to his score to Rogue One & the G'14 sequel.

As expected with today's major news, Gareth Edwards' profile has been removed.

Whoever they get to score the film they BETTER use the classic Godzilla themes! Godzilla just is not truly Godzilla without the classic themes. I missed them dearly in the first film.

I made that post in September and it was accurate at the time. But I guess since last time anything happened in this thread, both Sarah Finn and Junkie XL have been deleted. So let's do a HARD RESET: here's the full crew list of #7 as of today:


screenplay Max Borenstein (Godzilla, Kong: Skull Island, all 10 episodes Minority Report) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1440919/
executive producer Alex Garcia (Godzilla + GvsKK, Kong: Skull Island, Krampus) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1247503/
producer Jon Jashni (Godzilla + GvsKK, Jurassic World, both Pacific Rims) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0419169/
Oscar nominated producer Mary Parent (Godzilla + GvsKK, The Revenant, both Pacific Rims) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0661289/
producer Brian Rogers (Godzilla, Green Lantern, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0736758/
producer Thomas Tull (Godzilla vs GvsKK, both Pacific Rims, Jurassic World) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2100078/
assistant to production controller/assistant to production executive Julianna Politsky (Godzilla + GvsKK, both Pacific Rims, Kong: Skull Island) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5510498/

Fun fact, all seven of them have been on Godzilla 2's IMDB for exactly eleven months now.

Hmm. I wonder why she would be deleted. Hell, I wonder why she was even added anyway. The casting director hired nearly 3 years before the release date (at that time, it was June 8, 2018)? Nah, I'm betting that was never official to begin with.

At the most, I expect them to tell us who they are planning for the director at the most.
