O’Shea Jackson Jr. Says “You Will Never Forget” Battle With Ghidorah in ‘Godzilla’ Sequel
Trick ‘r Treat director Michael Dougherty’s Godzilla: King of Monsters is the next installment in Legendary’s MonsterVerse, the film setting the stage for a huge battle with King Kong in 2020.
The new story follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah.
Now that filming has wrapped, star O’Shea Jackson Jr. has teased an EPIC battle between Godzilla and King Ghidorah, spilling the beans in a chat with Collider.
“In the last scene between Godzilla and King Ghidorah, I promise you, you will never forget it, in your life,” the actor promised. “As a nerd, I am foaming at the mouth to get in the editing room… Godzilla will be the number 1 movie.”
He added, “The way that [Godzilla] and Ghidorah fight… man… Kong better bring some shit.”
In King of the Monsters…
“When these ancient super-species—thought to be mere myths—rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity’s very existence hanging in the balance.”
The cast also includes Zhang Ziyi, Kyle Chandler, Vera Farmiga, Millie Bobby Brown, Bradley Whitford, Ken Watanabe, Thomas Middleditch, Charles Dance and Aisha Hinds.
Dougherty directed from a script he wrote with Zach Shields.
Warner Bros. has set a March 22, 2019 release date with Godzilla vs. Kong slated for release on May 22, 2020.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
