It won’t be wrong to label Steven Spielberg as the God of filmmaking. After directing and helming several critically acclaimed movies, Spielberg rightly deserves the title. And so when Takashi Yamazaki met theJawsdirector at the Oscars Luncheon, the director posted a picture of them onXand captioned it (translated),
“I met God. What should I do now? Cry? Moreover, he has seen Godzilla three times. He said he liked the character. He also happily received a Godzilla figure..”
To earn such high praise for Spielberg must have meant a lot for Yamazaki especially since the filmmaker was heavily inspired by Spielberg’sJaws(viaIGN). After the images of their interaction went viral on social media (viaX), fans were overjoyed and expressed that if Spielberg loved the movie, it is definitely worth watching!
As of now, the streaming details forGodzilla Minus Onehaven’t been revealed yet.
