At first glance Michael Dougherty definitely seems like an odd choice to helm the upcoming monster movie.
If his style remains consistent through Godzilla, then we can likely expect quite a bit of humor to be injected into the upcoming monster movie — something that was lacking from the original film.
Primarily known for his work as a screenwriter, Dougherty has never helmed a major blockbuster like Godzilla.
His work as a director has primarily come in the form of darkly comedic seasonal horror movies like Krampus and Trick ‘r Treat.
