‘No One Will Save You’ Star Kaitlyn Dever Joins ‘Godzilla x Kong’ Sequel Cast
After taking on aliens in No One Will Save You, Kaitlyn Dever is in negotiations to come face-to-face with Godzilla and Kong in the next installment in Legendary’s MonsterVerse franchise, Deadline reports.
The followup to last year’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire — the highest grossing Godzilla film of all time — is said to feature several new human characters alongside the iconic Titans as they face off against a cataclysmic world-ending threat.
Insiders say that while Godzilla and Kong will still be fronting the film, Legendary is looking to build on its human characters. Director Grant Sputore (I Am Mother) is aiming to combine character-driven storytelling with the franchise’s signature epic scale and action.
Dave Callaham (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse), who helped establish the MonsterVerse with a story credit on 2014’s Godzilla, penned the script.
Best known for starring in Booksmart and her Golden Globe-nominated performances in “Dopesick” and “Unbelievable,” Dever will next be seen in the second season of HBO’s “The Last of Us,” premiering in April.
Kaitlyn Dever in ‘No One Will Save You’
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.”
