Filmmaker Michael Dougherty has tweeted that the final touches have been placed on the upcoming big-budget “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” and the movie has been completed – a full six months before it opens in cinemas.

Dougherty tweeted: “It is done. With love and gratitude to the thousands of talented people all around the world who helped make this lifelong dream a reality. In Godzilla we trust.”

The project was shot last summer and wrapped photography at the end of September last year. It has spent just over a year in post with Dougherty managing to nab Bear McCreary to do the film’s score.

Marketing for the film began with a spectacular trailer, set to a cover of Debussy’s Clare de Lune, revealed at Comic Con in July. However it has been dormant ever since, and no word as yet regarding when another trailer will arrive.

Vera Farmiga, Millie Bobby Brown, Kyle Chandler, Sally Hawkins, Charles Dance, Aisha Hinds, Bradley Whitford, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Zhang Ziyi and Ken Watanabe co-star in “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” which opens in cinemas May 31st 2019.
