First Look at ‘Infestation’ Director’s ‘Nuclear Family’
Infestation director Kyle Rankin dropped Bloody Disgusting a line to reveal that he’s back behind the camera for a new genre film, Nuclear Family, which stars Corin Nemec (“Parker Lewis Can’t Lose”, “Stargate”), Ray Wise (Dead End, Jeepers Creepers 2, “Reaper”, “Twin Peaks”), and Kinsey Packard (Infestation). You’ll find the first details, along with 3 images by reading on.
“It’s a post-apocalyptic action/drama with lots of fighting, blood, and gunplay,” Rankin tells Bloody Disgusting. “It’s about a small family trying to survive and find their missing son while staying one step ahead of a brutal band of lawless, horrible men called the Berserkers.”
He continues, “We’ve started shooting in the hills of Topanga, CA, and will wrap on the 20th.” Watch for webisodes coming soon.
We had learned two weeks ago that a sixth installment in Legendary’s 10-years-strong Monsterverse is in the works, and The Hollywood Reporter brings us the latest update tonight.
The site reports that Adam Wingard, who directed both Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla x Kong, will NOT be returning to direct the upcoming follow-up to Godzilla x Kong.
THR notes, “The parting of ways is described as amicable and stemming from timing issues. The door remains open for a future return, per insiders.”
Wingard is instead returning to his roots with the upcoming Onslaught, an action-thriller for A24 that’s said to be more in the vein of his earlier movies You’re Next and The Guest.
Dave Callaham (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) is writing the upcoming sixth movie in the Monsterverse franchise. We have no idea if it’ll be a follow-up to Adam Wingard’s two movies, or if it will take the film franchise down a new path. Stay tuned.
Beginning with the Godzilla film in 2014 and continuing through 2017’s Kong: Skull Island, 2019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters, 2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong, and most recently the record-breaking Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, the Monsterverse has accumulated over $2B at the global box office and expanded into the highly successful event series, Legendary’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters for Apple TV+. We recently learned that “Monarch” is getting a second season, with more Monsterverse spinoff shows being planned at Apple TV+.
“Apple TV+ has struck a new multi-series deal with Legendary Entertainment, which includes multiple spinoff series based on the franchise,” the recent press release had stated.
