Tsujihara added, "Working with our partners at Legendary, we enjoyed tremendous creative and commercial success with `Godzilla. It's great to be able to revisit these characters and help create a franchise with so many creative possibilities for filmmakers. Fans love these big, globally iconic films and it doesn't get any bigger than this."
