The Toronto International Film Festival announced all of the genre films playing, including ten in the Midnight Madness programme. Part of the announcement was Colossal, the giant monster movie from Nacho Vigalondo (Extraterrestrial, VHS Viral, Timecrimes).

Colossal stars Dan Stevens, who starred in Adam Wingard’s The Guest, opposite Anne Hathaway and Jason Sudeikis, with Tim Blake Nelson and Austin Stowell.

In a screenplay said to be similar to Godzilla, “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.”

Stevens will play the ex-boyfriend who originally scorns her only to later fight to win her back.

Check out some images shared by the production designer that shows the atmosphere created for the giant monster movie.
