Legendary Entertainment is behind both the current U.S. Godzilla franchise and the Pacific Rim franchise, the latter of which was launched back in 2013 with Guillermo del Toro‘s movie that pit giant monsters up against giant human-powered robots. The film was followed by sequel Pacific Rim Uprising in 2018, which was also produced by Legendary Pictures.

As you may recall, Uprising director Steven S. DeKnight floated the idea of a Pacific Rim/Godzilla crossover movie back in 2017, noting at the time that it was a “theoretical possibility” that the Kaiju and Jaegers from the Pacific Rim franchise could someday be brought into the world of Legendary’s MonsterVerse. Who else wants to see that? Guillermo del Toro!

Taking to Twitter last night to comment on the Godzilla vs. Kong trailer, del Toro tweeted:

He subsequently made sure to note…

In response to del Toro’s tweets, Mike Lynch chimed in with his own fan-made mashup trailer that imagines Godzilla vs. Kong vs. Pacific Rim. It’s pretty awesome. Check it out below.

We can dream, right?!

Sleepy Hollow movie

Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?

The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.

THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”

You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.

The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.

More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
