Adam Wingard’s ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ Has Been Pushed from Early 2020 to Late 2020
The big battle is now one full year away.
It had been speculated earlier this year, in the wake of Godzilla: King of the Monsters under-performing at the box office, that next MonsterVerse installment Godzilla vs. Kong was going to be releasing later than originally planned, and tonight The Wrap confirms that the Adam Wingard-directed film is indeed no longer releasing on March 13, 2020.
The WB/Legendary fight film will now be releasing on November 11, 2020.
“[Godzilla vs. Kong] will deliver for fans in the way they were looking for,” WB’s Toby Emmerich recently stated. “It might come out later in the year, so we can deliver an A+ movie.”
The epic adventure will pit two of the greatest icons in motion picture history against one another – the fearsome Godzilla and the mighty Kong – with humanity caught in the balance…
“In a time when monsters walk the Earth, humanity’s fight for its future sets Godzilla and Kong on a collision course that will see the two most powerful forces of nature on the planet collide in a spectacular battle for the ages. As Monarch embarks on a perilous mission into uncharted terrain and unearths clues to the Titans’ origins, a human conspiracy threatens to wipe the creatures, both good and bad, from the face of the earth forever.”
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
