In the weekend I decided to recreate them by using the fonts and colour schemes on a demo page to see how it will looks.

Someone made a video of the end credits. If you have the opportunity watch the movie, if not you can watch the end credits on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T3eWXjnhZU

The fonts, I found matching to the ones shown in the end credits,
