The aspect that people are perhaps most excited for when it comes to Godzilla vs. Kong is finding out which of the two gargantuan beasts will come out on top in the aftermath of their inevitable confrontation. Whilst promoting his newest film Death Note, director Adam Wingard (The Guest) revealed that his film will have a definite winner as opposed to the original King Kong vs. Godzilla film from 1962.
“I do want there to be a winner. The original film was very fun, but you feel a little let down that the movie doesn’t take a definitive stance. People are still debating now who won in that original movie, you know. So, I do want people to walk away from this film feeling like, 'Okay, there is a winner'.”
Wingard also discussed his visit to the set of the Michael Dougherty (Krampus) directed Godzilla: King of the Monsters, which is currently shooting in Atlanta.
“It was really cool. Part of me just wanted to go there and see what a $200 million — or whatever it’s costing — movie looked like. And I was kind of relieved to see that, at a certain point, movies can only get so big. That’s kind of what I got from it. It was really educational, just from that perspective. Mike was really nice. I’d never met him before. I walked up to him on set and he was taking pictures of one of the props or something, and he was laughing with somebody, and I was like, ‘Oh, this was really encouraging, to see that you’re smiling and looking happy!’ Because he was halfway through that production, so he could have been in horrible shape.”
