Just a few days ago, we posted that the giant monster film Colossal would be having its world premiere at TIFF. Directed by Nacho Vigalondo (Extraterrestrial, VHS Viral, Timecrimes) and starring Anne Hathaway, the film has been on our radar for well over a year and we’re excited to learn more about it!
However, the latest news from EW doesn’t really offer all that much information and their first look, which you can see below, offers basically nothing. The photo shows Hathaway and co-star Jason Sudeikis at a bar with both looking rather bored. Wahoo.
Meanwhile, Vigalondo tells the site, “The movie’s coming from my obvious love towards monster movies, and I was always intrigued by the possibility of setting a monster movie story in a human scale. This is a monster movie that collides with a small indie drama, which is an interesting collision”
“The story follows a woman who moves back to her hometown after losing her job and boyfriend in New York, only to discover that she is somehow strangely connected to a giant creature that has materialized over Seoul and is wreaking havoc on the city.”
The film ran into some issues in May of 2015 when it was slapped with a lawsuit that alleged it was an “unauthorized Godzilla film.”
Updated with the first clip, which Vigalondo teases to Deadline, “This is from an early part of the film, and shows how Anne and Oscar evolve while the world is in shock. As in real life, massive destruction and faraway tragedies don´t stop our everyday.”
