Legend and Warner once again join hands to develop monster movies

Recently, foreign media reported that Legendary Pictures, which parted ways with Warner a year ago, is preparing to hand over the film to Warner. The two sides will also jointly develop the monster movie "King Kong vs. Godzilla".

After the cast transformation of "King Kong" prequel "King Kong: Skull Island" experienced a change of ownership, even the publisher is facing a change of ownership. Recently, foreign media reported that Legendary Pictures, which parted ways with Warner a year ago, is preparing to hand over the film to Warner. The two sides will also jointly develop the monster movie "King Kong vs. Godzilla".

Legendary Pictures and Warner were once one of Hollywood's most successful partners, teaming up to launch Christopher? Nolan directed very successful works such as the Batman series, Inception and the Hangover series. Last year, the two sides terminated their cooperation, and Legendary Pictures turned to cooperate with Universal Pictures and signed a five-year cooperation agreement.

But Legendary Pictures and Warner want to get back together because of common interests. Foreign media Deadline reported that after Warner's success in shooting "Godzilla" last year, it will create a new monster movie series. Legendary Pictures hopes to add value to the image of "King Kong" in its hands, not only transferring "King Kong: Skull Island" originally scheduled for Universal distribution, to Warner for distribution, and will also teamed up with Warner to produce a monster movie with the theme of "King Kong vs. Godzilla". However, the news has not been confirmed by Legendary Pictures and Warner.

"King Kong: Skull Island" is still in the casting stage. In addition to the confirmed Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, Russell Crowe and Corey Hawkins, three powerful male stars, Samuel Jackson, Tom Wilkinson and John C. Riley, have also announced their joining.

"Godzilla 2" has been scheduled for release on June 8, 2018, and no substantive progress has been disclosed to the public yet. Director Garris? Edwards is currently busy with "Star Wars". Screenwriter Max Borenstein said that the sequel will be "bigger" and "better." In terms of the plot, he only knows that the movie will stage a monster war, and Godzilla will fight against the three major monsters of Mosla, Rodin and King Guidora. If Warner and Legend formally collaborate, it is unclear whether King Kong will appear in "Godzilla 2" or an independent film.
