Trivia

• Takayama is the only woman to write a screenplay for the Godzilla series, although Lindsey Beer and Cat Vasko are members of the Godzilla vs. Kong writers room.
  • In her original scenario, the role of Titanosaurus was filled by two dinosaurs called Titans, who became violent only when their necks were entangled. Her script also called for the total annihilation of Tokyo by Titanosaurus and Mechagodzilla, who would enter the city through Tokyo Bay and target Shinagawa ward first. Budget constraints forced Toho to scale back the destruction.
