Attack on Titan, Evangelion Directors Reviving Godzilla
The upcoming Japanese Godzilla film, Godzilla 2016, will be helmed by Hideaki Anno (Attack on Titan) and Shinji Higuchi (Evangelion). Anno will also pen the screenplay, while Higuchi will oversee special effects.
The film was announced by intellectual property owner Toho last year, following the success of Gareth Edwards' Godzilla, which earned $525 million worldwide.
A statement from Toho (via Variety) reads: "Ever since Hollywood announced that Godzilla was to be resurrected, the expectation for another Japanese Godzilla grew. And if we were to newly produce, we looked into Japanese creators who were the most knowledgeable and who had the most passion for Godzilla."

Speaking at GDC 2015, Bungie's John Hopson discussed how the developer so carefully created a game meant to hook players and keep them coming back time after time. The answer? Behavioral game design, the study of linking behavioral psychology to the tasks and rewards in game and observing a person's reactions and behaviors once faced with them.
