Novelizing the Monsterverse With Author Greg Keyes!
Byrd is joined by Kevin Derendorf (Maser Patrol) and Justin Mullis (Man Creates Dinosaurs blog) to interview prolific author Greg Keyes! Greg has had an extensive career as a novelist, but is most known to kaiju fans as the author of the graphic novel Godzilla: Dominion, the Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Godzilla vs Kong novelizations, and the Pacific Rim: Ascension novel. He's also written books for Star Wars, Interstellar, Planet of the Apes, and more. This extensive interview touches on the novelization process, adding his own story beats to adaptations, how he uses his fascination with mythology in writing for the Monsterverse, following studio rules, how his work can differ from the films, advice for young writers, and more! Sit back and join the conversation!
