Aaron Taylor-Johnson says ‘Godzilla’ role ‘very demanding’

In issue 216 of Total Film magazine, Aaron Taylor-Johnson talks about going up against one of cinema’s biggest monsters – Godzilla.

godzilla-aaron-taylor-johnson“It was a physically demanding role,” the Kick-Ass star tells Total Film. “I’m in helicopters. We’re on trucks and trains and we’re moving giant missiles…

“Things are crashing around us. You’re getting close to death. There’s a lot of sutff that’s made it really active.”

Not that this makes this new ‘Godzilla’ purely an action movie, as Taylor-Johnson stresses: “There are scenes in this where I’ve been more emotionally challenged than in any other drama.”

Taylor-Johnson reveals director Gareth Edwards put him through his paces as a soldier who tangles with the giant monster.

The first trailer doesn’t focus much on Godzilla himself, but rather the all-star cast which includes Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston, Juliette Binoche, David Strathairn, Ken Watanabe, and Sally Hawkins.

Godzilla opens in theaters May 16, 2014.

Here’s the official synopsis for Godzilla:

An epic rebirth to Toho’s iconic Godzilla, this spectacular adventure pits the world’s most famous monster against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity’s scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence.
