KRAMPUS & TRICK 'R TREAT Director Michael Dougherty Set To Helm GODZILLA 2
With Kong: Skull Island just around the corner, Legendary has started looking ahead to their 2019 Godzilla sequel and they've just found a director in Krampus helmer Michael Dougherty!
Variety is reporting that Michael Dougherty has officially signed on to direct Legendary & Warner Bros.' upcoming Godzilla sequel, which is due out in 2019.
Dougherty initially signed on to the project with Zach Shields back in October of last year as just a screenwriter, but after seeing all the work he put into the film's script, Legendary offered him a chance to direct as well.
The Godzilla sequel, which is rumored to be titled Godzilla: King of Monsters, is expected to arrive in theaters March 22, 2019, followed by a crossover for the ages with Godzilla vs. Kong, which is expected to hit the following summer on May 29, 2020.
Dougherty's past credits include the critically acclaimed horror films Trick 'r Treat and Krampus, two features he both wrote and directed. He also has experience in the comic book movie genre, having worked on the screenplays for X-Men 2, Superman Returns, and X-Men: Apocalypse. His next project will be a Trick 'r Treat sequel before he tackles the king of monsters.
