‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ Star Julian Dennison Says Film’s Early CGI Creatures Looked Like ‘Lego Monsters’
Julian Dennison in his young career has already acted in some mega franchises like “Deadpool 2,” “The Christmas Chronicles: Part 2” and now “Godzilla vs. Kong,” but he still hasn’t quite gotten used to the surreal experience of acting in something so heavy with CGI.
“It was the acting to nothing, having to act to absolutely like a brick wall,” the teenage star Dennison told TheWrap. “I was standing, and I’d be like, what am I doing with my life? I am talking to a tennis ball. It turned out really great, the CGI is amazing.”
Dennison gave a shout out to “Godzilla vs. Kong’s” visual effects team Weta Digital, which shares Dennison’s hometown in Wellington, New Zealand. But he admitted that in the early going that Godzilla, Kong and the other monsters he has to evade didn’t always look as impressive as they do on screen now.
