Legendary Pictures is reportedly close to adding Academy Award winner Juliette Binoche to their growing human cast of Gareth Edward’s Godzilla reboot. The French actress would join a cast that already includes Aaron Johnson, Bryan Cranston & Elizabeth Olsen.

Frank Darabont is currently providing yet another re-write of the script for the long delayed monster movie, but adding art house favourite Binoche to an already impressive cast list is a positive sign that the film has sincere intentions of dramatic substance beyond simply a path of wonton destruction by a Giant CGI Lizard.
