Update: Godzilla: King of the Monsters – First Behind-the-Scenes Images from Mexico City (Dread Central)

Parts of Mexico City's historic center have been closed to traffic as film crews shoot scenes for a new Godzilla film in the Mexican capital.

Mexico City Mayor Miguel Ángel Mancera says the fact that the capital has been chosen as one of the film's location is "a great opportunity".

"Godzilla: King of the Monsters will create around 2,000 jobs in Mexico and revenue for local businesses," he said.



Mexican fans of the sci-fi monster tried to catch glimpses of the filming. But heavy security meant few could get near the historic streets where filming was under way.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters will see the sci-fi monster battle "ancient super species" such as the giant moth Mothra and the three-headed dragon King Ghidorah in a sequel to the 2014 film Godzilla.

The film's producer Alex Garcia said that filming in Mexico City would "not only have an economic impact, but will also attract the world's attention".

Mayor Mancera hopes the film will recreate the positive impact that James Bond film Spectre had.
