Celebrated film composer Alexandre Desplat has been tapped to score the next summer’s Godzilla reboot.
Desplat, who was recently nominated for Academy Awards for his scores of Argo and The King’s Speech, has had a varied musical career which includes The Tree of Life, Moonrise Kingdom and Zero Dark Thirty.
The film is set to retell the epic origin of Godzilla; a monster born from man and science’s arrogance, a creature who will wreck havoc on all sorts of cityscapes, we are sure.
Godzilla is in post-production, following a shoot by director Gareth Edwards. The film is set to star Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston, Ken Wantanabe, Juliette Binoche and David Strathairn. The project marks the final collaboration between Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures and will be released into theaters and IMAX on May 16, 2014.
