I Received Another ‘Killcast’ Ransom, and They’re Promising Human Sacrifices…

Killcast

I’ve been unable to figure out what this “Killcast” event is taking place next week (on October 27th), but I’m still receiving a plethora of threats and ransom letters. Today, they sent me a third letter, accompanied by a video of sorts. I’m still wondering if this has something to do with the clowns appearing in Los Angeles.

So who is Merrick and what is Killcast? I guess we’ll have to wait for clues and keep our eyes at the official website, as well as the Facebook and Twitter accounts, @killcast and @callmemerrick.

Here’s the latest e-mail I received, along with the letter and video. Any ideas as to what the hell this is?

You’ve done well, Bloody Disgusting.
By now, dear readers, you should have heard of me. But if you haven’t, surely you’ve heard of the coliseum, public executions and human sacrifices. Come Oct 27th, those are no longer a thing of the past. For 24 hours I’m bringing the bloodletting tradition out of the shadows and back to the masses. Join my troupe at www.killcast.com.

Who am I?
You can call me Merrick.

Adam Wingard Not Returning to Direct ‘Godzilla x Kong’ Follow-Up

Published

on

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.
