this the end of Godzilla vs. Kong There’s no denying that this is an epic piece of work, and the thought of a sequel to top it is almost heart-wrenching. Fortunately, For director Adam Wingard, That’s not what he wants to do. Of course, he could bring more monsters to the screen and make the action even bigger.On the contrary, for Godzilla x Kong: A New Empire, He had a new, more adventurous idea.
“What excites me about this movie isn’t even the action – although as you know, we have a ton of action in the movie,” Wingard told io9. “For me, being able to see the monsters interact between action scenes. [That] It’s more exciting for me. It’s almost like a character study, but with monsters. “
The idea came early in the process, when Wingard started thinking about what a second film featuring Godzilla and King Kong would be. “I never said, ‘Okay, we have to get to the top Godzilla vs. Kong Because I knew we were doing something special and different,” he said. “I knew from the beginning that we weren’t going to copy ourselves because my focus was always on trying to break new ground… I wanted to make a film that really leaned toward monsters. point of view movie. So just by making this decision, I knew we were going to do something that we couldn’t even do in the last movie. “
As an example, Wingard pointed to the scene in the movie that introduces Scar King, one of the movie’s new villains. “The introduction of Scar King in the movie lasts for nearly eight minutes. It is purely [creatures],” he said. “It’s almost like an animated sequence. There were no humans around. There is no dialogue. This is just the main character of the story. Knowing that this is the trajectory we’re on gives me confidence that we’re going to take you places you’ve never been before. “
So if you want a movie where Godzilla and Kong not only fight a lot, but also shower and sleep (no joke), Godzilla x Kong: A New Empire It will be released on March 29th. Next week we’ll see more of Wingard’s work.
