Me and my friends are making a MonsterVerse Son of Godzilla movie Idea that’s done in the style of those kid adventure films of the 80’s and 90s like ET, Goonies, Stand By Me, The Sandlot, Iron Giant, etc. It has the tone of that like ET and Iron Giant. It would be lighter toned compared to the previous MonsterVerse installments but is still mature enough to have a PG-13 rating. I don't want it to be too goofy or childish like the original Son of Godzilla and Godzilla's Revenge. I want to make sure it doesn't stick out of the MonsterVerse films like a sore thumb and try to keep it grounded and more realistic. The film takes place in July and involves a group of five kids in suburban Portland who discover and befriend a baby Godzilla that has washed up on a beach. They named it Minya, and with the help from a former Monarch scientist now school teacher Dr. Charles Newton, they try to keep him hidden from the public, the authorities, and any one who would try to hurt him.
