Adam Wingard: Last News

The Godzilla x Kong movie is on the way and the trailer just premiered!

Sophia Scorziello editor The MonsterVerse returns for its fifth installment with the new trailer of “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.” The film comes after Legendary Pictures’ 2021 feature “Godzilla vs. Kong” helmed by Adam Wingard, who returns to direct this upcoming monster movie. Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry and Kaylee Hottle reprise their 2021 roles as Dr.

While Marvel, DC, and “Star Wars” take up most of the headlines in franchise filmmaking, one of the more consistently successful franchises in modern blockbuster filmmaking is Legendary’s Monsterverse, which comprises all things Godzilla and King Kong in North America (Toho still releases “Godzilla” moves in Japan). Coming straight off the heels of Apple TV+’s successful “Monarch: Legacy Of Monsters,” TV limited series (which is more of a prequel anyhow), next up in the film universe via Warner Bros.

Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Major Japanese studio Toho Co. has announced “Godzilla Minus One” as the title of the latest instalment in its “Godzilla” film franchise. The film will premiere in Japanese theaters on Nov. 4. A U.S. release is set a few weeks later, on Dec. 1. The company revealed an understated poster and a short but punchy teaser trailer. It suggests that an already-devastated postwar Japan faces a new threat in the form of Godzilla, an enormous, mutated kaiju. Directed by sci-fi and fantasy specialist Yamazaki Takashi, the picture is the first Japanese-produced “Godzilla” movie since 2016’s “Shin Godzilla.” The previous picture topped the Japanese box office, earning JPY25 billion ($181 million at current exchange rates).

While the “Godzilla” franchise seems to be going pretty well in America, with Adam Wingard’s upcoming “Godzilla vs. Kong” sequel set to arrive in 2024, over in Japan, the original Toho-guided franchise has been quiet since 2016’s “Shin Godzilla.” And before that, there wasn’t a new live-action Japanese-produced film in the franchise since 2004.

EXCLUSIVE: Marking the first major role to be cast in the upcoming sequel, Dan Stevens is set to star as the lead of the next feature film installment of the Legendary’s Monsterverse franchise, a follow up to 2020’s Godzilla vs. Kong. Adam Wingard, who directed the first film, is returning to direct the film with production is slated to begin this summer in Australia.

Director Adam Wingard (“Godzilla vs Kong“) and writer Simon Barrett’s “The Guest” starring Dan Stevens is easily one of the better modern attempts to recreate the tone of a 1980s action sci-fi hybrid film. “The Guest” certainly has DNA from filmmakers like John Carpenter, James Cameron, Paul Verhoeven, and Chuck Russell (“The Blob,” “Dream Warriors“) all mixed in to create something that harkens back to an era when major studios backed high concept R-rated genre projects.
