The ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ Release Date Just Got Bumped Up
Legendary’s so-called MonsterVerse, as teased in the Kong: Skull Island post-credits scene, will continue in 2019 with Michael Dougherty’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters. That film, set for release on March 22, 2019, is expected to star not just the Big G himself but also fellow monsters Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah. And it’ll set the stage for 2020’s Godzilla vs. Kong.
We’ve just learned that the mash-up battle flick, originally set for release on May 29, 2020, will now hit theaters on May 22, 2020. For those keeping score, that’s Memorial Day weekend.
Development on Godzilla vs. Kong recently began, as Legendary assembled a massive team of writers to crack the film. Terry Rossio (Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl) will head the writing crew, and he’s being joined by Patrick McKay and J.D. Payne (Star Trek Beyond), Lindsey Beer (Dungeons & Dragons), Cat Vasko (Queen of the Air), T.S. Nowlin (The Maze Runner), and J. Michael Straczynski (World War Z). Once the story is worked out, a writer will be brought in to pen the script.
More as we learn it.
The Fall franchise heads to a new location with new characters in the upcoming Fall 2: Deadpoint, and the brand new Lionsgate sequel has received its MPA rating this week.
Releasing in theaters on September 2, 2026, horror sequel Fall 2: Deadpoint is rated PG-13 for “strong language, some violent content/bloody images and drug material.”
Harriet Slater (Tarot) stars in the upcoming Fall 2: Deadpoint alongside Arsema Thomas (“Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story”) and Tom Brittney (Greyhound).
Michael & Peter Spierig (Predestination, Jigsaw) direct Fall 2: Deadpoint from a script by Fall writers Scott Mann (who also directed the original) and Jonathan Frank.
From the survival hit that tapped into the fear of heights and left friends stranded at the top of a tower comes a climb that goes higher, gets deadlier, and hits with next-level adrenaline.
In Fall 2: Deadpoint, two friends take on new heights in Thailand, where unpredictable terrain, extreme exposure, and nowhere to hide push survival further than ever before.
Overwhelmed by her sister Hunter’s death, Jax (Slater) connects with Luce (Thomas), Hunter’s fearless friend. To heal, they attempt the infamous plank walk of Mount Kwan in Thailand.
After a sudden rockslide leaves them stranded on a fragile plank 3000 feet in the air, Jax must confront her deepest fears and fight for survival to find closure.
Fall 3 has already been greenlit, with Mann returning to the director’s chair. The first Fall was a surprise hit in theaters, scaring up $18 million at the worldwide box office back in 2022.
