Good choice. He's gotta redeem himself for Blair Witch though.

Isn't this coming out in like 2020
I also expect him to find a way to whitewash Kong

Despite Blair witch being awful I am a bigger fan of this choice than the ppl who directed kong and Godzilla
They're pivoting to much more interesting genre talent for the sequels.

I'm happy with that decision. I liked Kong more than Godzilla but I'm glad there's a new director for this. Interested in seeing what Michael Dougherty does with Godzilla 2, though.

Not a bad choice. It fits in with Hollywood's attempts to court these smaller / indie directors to make these big-budget films, mostly so they can control them.
If they can't get Desplat back, then I wouldn't mind it mind my Godzilla film having a synth beat score.

I think he's cognizant of the fact he fucked up hard with Blair Witch, so I'm hopeful that this'll turn out to be pretty fun.
I didn't think it was that bad. I actually enjoyed it.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
I fucking hated You're Next the first time I watched it. Then I watched it again. And again. And again. And ended up loving it. Loved The Guest right away, so I don't have an issue with this choice.

I dunno. Adam Wingard's greatest strengths IMO has been his ability to subvert genre conventions. That was why Blair Witch was pretty much a failure, and I don't think he can do something like that with this movie.
You're Next was great and The Guest wasn't decent, haven't seen Blair Witch. Interested to see this but I thought Kong was a bit of a turd when I finally saw it and I didn't love the Godzilla movie especially after Shin Godzilla. Well if nothing else it should be a well directed train wreck.

I'm hoping its more of a BvS situation where they fight, but then team up later against a bigger threat. I dont want them to kill each other.

Maybe this will actually end up being a romance, and spin-off a new series about their child, Kongzilla
WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME!?
It seems you're suffering from emotional shock. A crisis center has been notified.

He has Death Note coming out on Netflix pretty soon.
Godzilla Vs. King Kong: Dawn of Destruction.
The original King Kong vs Godzilla sold more tickets than any other Godzilla movie in Japan.
Kong and Godzilla are probably the two best known giant monsters in the world. It makes a lot of sense to do Godzilla vs King Kong.

Great pick, but that's what I said about Blair Witch and I was heartbroken. He completely devastated one of my favorite franchises.
Let's see how he does for a franchise I have no interest in then, you can only go up I guess

Loved The Guest and had a strange but ultimately positive experience with You're Next. Great choice. Really looking forward to both Godzilla sequels now.
Heh, this was kinda how I felt about You're Next, compressed within the space of one viewing.

I don't know what to make of Adam Wingard right now. I loved The Guest, but I was lukewarm on You're Next and he completely and utterly fumbled Blair Witch. His shorts from the VHS and ABCs of Death compilations weren't very interesting either. I hope he pulls of this one, Death Note, and I Saw the Devil because I'm probably going to see them all regardless.

I like that they slyly addressed the potential size different in Kong by insinuating that he's young and still growing.
Bring on a jobber clobber stomp in the second act, and then Mecha Kong for the finale!
Team Godzilla x 9999999
Or a Godzilla/Kong heel team-up to eradicate mankind.

That's an interesting choice that makes me kind of excited. Blair Witch was kinda shit, but overall the dude is pretty solid.
Looks like they're keeping with the trend of getting indie directors to help mega blockbusters in this monster-verse.

They acknowledge in Skull Island that Kong is relatively young, giving him time to grow into the role.
Also, I wouldn't expect most of the human characters to recur much, if at all.. The two Monarch employees in Skull Island were ~30 , so recasting them with older actors wouldn't be difficult.
