Yesterday brought the very exciting news that Krampus co-writers Zach Shields and Michael Dougherty, who also directed the Christmas-themed horror film, were tapped to write the script for Legendary’s Godzilla 2. Today, that news becomes all the more exciting as it’s being reported by Screen Crush that Dougherty is also being eyed as the director of the giant monster movie! It will be the sequel to 2014’s Godzilla, which was directed by Gareth Edwards

As of yet, Dougherty hasn’t been locked down and no deal has been officially made but the prospect of him taking on this kind of movie is thrilling, to say the least! Both Trick ‘r Treat and Krampus prove that Dougherty has an eye for creating exciting sequences while his work on X-Men 2 and Superman Returns shows that he has the ability to envision larger-than-life scenarios. If this deal goes through, it’ll be, in my opinion, one of the best things to happen to this cinematic universe.

Godzilla 2 will follow the giant ape movie Kong: Skull Island, which comes out March 10th, 2017. The two will eventually face off in an as-yet-untitled movie that’s planned for a 2020 release.

One of this summer’s most hotly anticipated new movies is A24 and Ti West’s MaXXXine, a follow-up to X and Pearl that brings Mia Goth’s title character into the 1980s.

With her past catching up to her, Maxine attempts to make it big as a superstar in Hollywood, 1985. While you wait, check out a new image below courtesy of USA Today this week.

Releasing in theaters on July 5, 2024, MaXXXine is rated “R” for…

“Strong violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use.”

If you missed the official trailer, you can watch it right here.

Mia Goth stars alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon in MaXXXine.

Here’s the official plot synopsis from A24 this week: “In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.”

Last we saw Maxine in Ti West’s X (2022), she was the sole survivor of a massacre carried out by elderly couple Howard and Pearl in the Summer of ’79. Goth of course pulled double duty as the villain Pearl in that movie, who got her own origin story in Pearl (2022). Pearl and Maxine are different characters, but they share the common goal of wanting to be stars.

Will Maxine finally make it in Hollywood? Or will the demons of her past become her ultimate downfall? With the Night Stalker roaming free, we expect MaXXXine to get wild this summer.
