GODZILLA vs. KONG (November 20, 2020)

Again, casting for the MonsterVerse movies is crazy good.

^ I thought the same thing about Juliette Binoche, and we saw how that played out

[lhb412]

^ To be fair: she was great in her two minutes of screen time.

While we can argue all day about whether the Monsterverse films are using their talented casts properly, the talent being brought in on these movies gives me the warm and fuzzies.

Let it never be said that Legendary isn't TRYING.

[lhb412]

^ WOOHOOO! Filming starts! (Several false alarms this month saying filming had started)

[Gwangi]

If that is the complete list of the main cast, I'm fine with that, as we do not need a large ensemble as both Godzilla and Kong will be the main stars. Interestingly, there is no Ken Watanabe or Sally Hawkins. Can we conclude that both of their endings will come in GKOTM?

‘FRINGE’ Actor Lance Reddick Cast In ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’


Lance Reddick, Uncredited in 1998’s ‘Godzilla’, Joins Cast of ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’

^ I like that guy! Where is he in Godzilla '98?

Soldier on Bridge is my favorite soldier.

[mrbluehair]

You got that right Jelly, he was the only reason to watch GINO. The best credit you can get for that movie is no credit.

[Gwangi]

First on set photos of Skarsgard and Eiza Gonzalez are already out. They are moving fast with this! The article implies that perhaps these two are on Skull Island looking for Kong. If so, I hope that they brought along enough Soma!

[Benjamin Haines]

[lhb412]

That may be just tactical gear for going to Skull Island, but naturally my first thought is the inevitable turn from Monarch being a somewhat realistic organization (at least visually) to being an Ultraman style defense team ala the Heisei and Millenium movies.

^It's such an egregiously stupid, career ending statement. I hope his script is okay, but if the series continues I hope he isn't hired for more.

[XvGojira]

As long as that stupidity isn't in his scripts, I kind of don't care. That's not necessarily a stance I think should blacklist him. I don't agree with what he said at all, but I also don't think it is bad enough that it should negate him from getting work.

Edit: Mulling it over a bit, the anti-vaxx stance is dumb but whatever. The use of the N-word, is a bit harder to excuse and I can understand how it could make job hunting a tad difficult for him for awhile.

[lhb412]

^ All I can say is that I wouldn't hire him if I was the person in charge in the scenario... unless he'd done a bang up job of apologizing and convincing me he had his **** together. Even then, there would always be the nagging sense he may flip out again and it would reflect badly on me, the guy who'd hired him.

KnowwhatImean?

[Psycho Soldier]

I'm with lhb. Also worth noting is that Rossio didn't actually censor the N-word in his original tweet, in case the quote from IndieWire misleads you. The only good news for Rossio is that certain portions of Hollywood are apathetic toward such transgressions. He could, in theory, still get hired to work on the new RED SONJA.

[klen7]

I'd say let's cancel GvK and bring back Gareth Edwards for his DAM-2020, but i have a feeling KotM rushed that possibility out of narrative existence

[O.Supreme]

I'd love to see a new DAM, however, the future of the Monsterverse rests on these next 2 films. If they do amazing financially we'll get more. If they do poorly, or just "average", this will be it.
