To quote Ken Watanabe in 2014’s Godzilla and / or the best GIF of all time: “Let them fight.”
After a delay of almost a year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Godzilla vs. Kong is on the horizon. The fourth film in the Legendary Entertainment “Monsterverse” franchise after Godzilla, Kong: Skull Island, and Godzilla: King of the Monsters is currently set for a simultaneous movie and HBO Max release in March, as part of Warner Bros. strategy. Entertainment to combat blockages in the near future. A new trailer for the film promises a true blockbuster, with two titans fighting as other nefarious forces descend on Earth. That’s what big screens were made for.
Directed by Adam Wingard (The guest, From 2016 Blair witch) with a Pirates of the Caribbean writer Terry Rossio, Godzilla vs. Kong take where King of monsters it was interrupted – specifically, the film credits full of Kong and a post-credit scene causing the return of King Ghidorah and the introduction of Mecha-Godzilla. A synopsis of the start of production in 2018 joked: “While Monarch embarks on a dangerous mission in unknown terrain and digs up clues to the origins of the Titans, a human conspiracy threatens to wipe the creatures, good and bad, from the face of the Earth forever.” film stars Millie Bobby Brown and Kyle Chandler’s King of monsters, along with Alexander Skarsgård (The stand), Rebecca Hall (Christine), Brian Tyree Henry (Atlanta), Shun Oguri (Gintamai), Eiza González (Baby driver), Jessica Henwick (Iron fist), Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2), and Demián Bichir (The eight hated)
The big question that remains after this first shoot: Will Godzilla burp again? For those who didn’t catch Godzilla: King of the Monsters, it is important to know that although the great lizard managed to make its way through hordes of Titans, it also lets out a burp with a big ass. When we asked director Mike Dougherty about why he gave Godzilla a moment of flatulence in his mouth amid a whirlwind of monster chaos, he said the following:
A big reason why Godzilla has this mysterious attraction, this mysterious appeal, is that he has human characteristics and elements and I think this is a lingering aspect of the fact that the Japanese have performed him in the man-in-suit process for decades . There were very humanistic expressions and body language that made us identify him a little more than we would have if he were executed in stop motion, say.
So it was important for me to really embellish it and embrace that concept. Both the animators and the performance capture artists we worked with became a fun team and always wanted to add another close-up, add a snap, add a slight tilt of the head, anything to convey that Godzilla has a surprisingly exciting emotion great interval to which we can connect.
tin Godzilla vs. Kong bring humanity to two Titans at war? Can Godzilla’s beauty kill the beast? We will know when the film will hit theaters and HBO Max on March 26, 2021.
