‘Godzilla’ Director Gareth Edwards Reveals Gruesome Effect from Deleted Sequence
Before taking the reigns on Rogue One, Monsters director Gareth Edwards gave birth to the newest Godzilla universe that’s smashing its way to an apex in November’s Godzilla vs. Kong.
Last night, Edwards took over the official Godzilla Twitter account for a special viewing party in which he commented on the entire film several years after its release.
While there’s a ton of interesting bits, including this gem in which he reveals a cut scene in which Aaron Taylor-Johnson‘s Ford falls asleep watching classic Toho movies, the coolest share was that of a gruesome effect from a deleted sequence involving dead miners.
Check out the previously unseen makeup below…
If you missed the fun, next week they’ll be live-tweeting Kong: Skull Island.
One of my favorite things that got cut out, was a scene with some dead miners in this cave. The make-up team did an amazing job… pic.twitter.com/KgJRp0JrjO

‘Ebenezer’ Official Trailer – Ti West Turns Johnny Depp into ‘A Christmas Carol’ Icon Scrooge
Ti West (X, Pearl, MaXXXine) is back with the upcoming Ebenezer starring Johnny Depp, a fresh new take on the classic tale of A Christmas Carol from Charles Dickens.
Johnny Depp will play Ebenezer Scrooge in Ti West’s Ebenezer, and Paramount is bringing the film to theaters on November 13, 2026. Watch the official trailer down below.
The tagline? “The name you know. The story you don’t.”
Andrea Riseborough (Possessor), Ian McKellen (The Lord of the Rings), Tramell Tillman (“Severance”), Rupert Grint (Harry Potter franchise), Daisy Ridley (Star Wars franchise), Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games franchise), Charlie Murphy (“Peaky Blinders”), Arthur Conti (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice), and Ellie Bamber (“Willow”) also star.
Deadline had detailed in a recent report, “This version, a thrilling ghost story set in Dickens’ London, follows one man’s supernatural journey to face his past, present and future and fight for a second chance. Stephen Deuters and Jason Forman to executive produce.”
Nathaniel Halpern wrote the adaptation for Ti West to direct.
Written by Charles Dickens, the classic tale of A Christmas Carol has been adapted for the screen countless times over the years, with notable film adaptations including Scrooge (1951) starring Alastair Sim, Scrooge (1970) starring Albert Finney, A Christmas Carol (1984) starring George C. Scott, Scrooged (1988) starring Bill Murray, The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) starring Michael Caine, and A Christmas Carol (2009) starring Jim Carrey.
A Christmas Carol is classically a period piece ghost story. As Luiz H.C. wrote here on Bloody Disgusting, “Isn’t it weird how the single most influential piece of Christmas-related media is technically a horror story? One can even make the argument that Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol paved the way for the rise of Victorian Spiritualism during the following decade.”
