Godzilla Minus One, Part II

During a recent Q&A hosted by Movie Walker (via Comic Book), Godzilla Minus One director Takashi Yamazaki revealed he’s potentially interested in helming a sequel set immediately after the events of the first film.

My honest feelings, I would like to see a continuation of those people’s story. If I could make it [A Godzilla Minus One sequel], I would like to make a movie that involves what happens to them after that.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

In conversation with Empire (Coming Soon), Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes director Wes Ball revealed he decided not to cast Andy Serkis this time around because he feels the actor has become “too iconic” since the Rise of the Planet of the Apes trilogy.

We talked about it, for sure. Like, ‘Could you play another ape character?’ I entertained that thought for a long time, because I thought it would be f—ing cool. And Matt [Reeves] would always say, ‘Andy is the best actor I’ve ever worked with.’ He’s just too iconic, in a way. So we decided it’s probably best to think about future movies where maybe he can come in.
