Earlier this year at the Cannes film market, Timecrimes director Nacho Vigalondo announced that he was working on a project called Colossal. Starring Anne Hathaway, the flick would follow the adventures of a young woman named Gloria who is Tokyo’s only hope against a destructive giant lizard. It’s not a Godzilla movie, but it’s easy to see how one might get confused.
However, there may be some changes happening behind-the-scenes of Colossal. An eagle-eyed reader pointed out that the film’s official synopsis on the Voltage Pictures website replaces “giant lizard” with “giant robot.” Did Vigalondo and company kick the enormous reptile to the curb in favor of a huge mechanized threat? For the moment, this scenario seems likely.
Check out the synopsis in question.
Gloria is an ordinary woman who finds herself in an extraordinary circumstance. Tokyo is under attack by a giant robot and, for some strange reason, Gloria is the only person who can stop it. In order to do so, Gloria needs to figure out why her seemingly insignificant existence has such a colossal effect on the fate of the world.
Before you start hurling angry messages at Nacho Vigalondo’s various social media accounts, keep in mind that the film is still in the early stages of development. As soon as we know more about Colossal and Anne Hathaway’s oversized opponent, we’ll let you know.
