TRICK 'R TREAT Director Michael Dougherty Confirmed to Direct GODZILLA 2
After Trick 'r Treat and Krampus director Michael Dougherty was hired on to write the sequel to Gareth Edwards' Godzilla, there was a rumor that he would also direct it. That rumor has now been confirmed to be true by Variety, and Dougherty is officially set to direct the giant creature in Godzilla 2.
Legendary Pictures obviously likes what Dougherty is doing with the story for the sequel with his script, and now they are confident in him taking it all the way through development and production.
I'm a huge fan of Dougherty's work, and I trust that he's going to give fans an incredible film. I couldn't be happier for the filmmaker and the rise of his career making big budget features like this. He's also set to help develop the other monster films in the franchise including Godzilla vs. King Kong.
If you've never seen Dougherty's films before, you've really got to check them out. They are a blast to watch! I can't wait to see what he's planning for Godzilla!
Godzilla 2 is currently slated for March 22, 2019, with Godzilla vs. Kong set for May 29, 2020.
