Original ‘Godzilla’ Star Set To Appear In New Reboot

The Movie God   |  @   |  

Akira Takarada & Gareth Edwards Godzilla

Fans of Godzilla and monster movies in general couldn’t help but instantly think of Roland Emmerich’s 1998 disasterpiece of a remake when it was revealed that a new reboot was on the way.

But thankfully things appear to be going in the right direction with the reboot as far as casting is concerned, and the latest actor to be confirmed for the movie brings with them some positive vibes that the reboot will be very faithful to the original Godzilla movie, titled Gojira.

Legendary Pictures has released a new image via the Twitter of reboot director Gareth Edwards and Akira Takarada, one of the stars of the 1954 original movie.

Takarada played Hideto Ogata in the original movie, and has appeared in numerous Godzilla flicks since then.

He joins a cast that includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston, Ken Watanabe, Juliette Binoche, and David Strathairn.

Godzilla is currently set for a May 16, 2014 release date.
