The inspiration behind this video:

Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire director Adam Wingard has already teased a sequel to 2024's epic Titan clash, and it sets the stage for a classic Toho villain to enter the Monsterverse. The latest entry into the Monsterverse saw the two most iconic monsters in cinema team up against a world-ending threat in the form of two Titans who weren't pulled from Toho's stable of monsters, Shimo the ice dragon and the tyrannical ape Skar King. The story focused largely on the history of Kong, and ended with him finally earning his proper title after 83 years.

Following the release of Godzilla X Kong, director Adam Wingard has stated his interest in adding the final chapter in what he envisions as his own trilogy for the Monsterverse. While both Godzilla X Kong and Godzilla vs. Kong focused heavily on Kong's journey and evolution, Wingard has indicated that he'd like to do something similar with Godzilla's backstory in a sequel. The King of the Monsters would have his lore adapted to match the expanding narrative of the Monsterverse, but it would also provide an opportunity to bring back one of Godzilla's original villains from the Showa Era.

The inspiration behind this video:

Godzilla is famously the King of the Monsters in MonsterVerse canon, with Kong being perhaps the only other Titan who can rival that position (though they seem to have come to a peaceful understanding in Godzilla X Kong). Godzilla earned that moniker by fighting and defeating Titans, so it stands to reason that he will keep his title by continuing to fight increasingly deadly Titans that challenge him. However, as revealed in a MonsterVerse tie-in comic, it seems the perfect villain for the next installment of the Godzilla X Kong franchise isn’t a Titan at all.

In Godzilla X Kong: The Hunted by Brian Buccellato, Dario Formisani, Drew Johnson, and Zid (prequel to Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire), Godzilla is hunting down one of the Titans fans see him fight in the movie: Titanus Scylla. Godzilla’s part of the story is tracking down this deadly Titan as it consumes nuclear power plants for radioactive sustenance, and ends with the battle in Rome fans can experience in The New Empire. Kong’s story, on the other hand, is one that doesn’t directly tie-in to the movie, but sets up a bold new villain for the next one.

From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures comes the long-awaited face-off between two icons, “Godzilla vs. Kong,” the next epic adventure in Legendary’s cinematic Monsterverse, directed by Adam Wingard.

Legends collide in “Godzilla vs. Kong” as these mythic adversaries meet in a spectacular battle for the ages, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Kong and his protectors undertake a perilous journey to find his true home, and with them is Jia, a young orphaned girl with whom he has formed a unique and powerful bond. But they unexpectedly find themselves in the path of an enraged Godzilla, cutting a swath of destruction across the globe. The epic clash between the two titans—instigated by unseen forces—is only the beginning of the mystery that lies deep within the core of the Earth.

The film was produced by Mary Parent, Alex Garcia, Eric McLeod, Jon Jashni, Thomas Tull and Brian Rogers, with Jay Ashenfelter, Herbert W. Gains, Dan Lin, Roy Lee, Yoshimitsu Banno and Kenji Okuhira executive producing.

Hammock (“Blair Witch”), editor Josh Schaeffer (“Godzilla: King of the Monsters”), costume designer Ann Foley (“Skyscraper”) and visual effects supervisor John “DJ” DesJardin (upcoming “Zack Snyder’s Justice League”).

ELECTION · 黑社會

Johnnie To · 2005 · Hong Kong · 100 mins

The Election films have been compared with The Godfather in the way they take crime syndicates seriously, showing how murderous violence, family, national politics and honour are woven inextricably together.

These dark, moody films exude a relentless air of menace as they strip the glamour and gunplay away from the triads and take us through the battles for the top job in the Wo Sing triad. Candidates negotiate with the uncles who uphold the historical traditions of the triad societies, while they must also deal with the politics of contemporary Hong Kong as it moves inexorably into the orbit of the mainland.

Once the votes are in, the real contest begins with a series of simmering confrontations involving face, money and loyalty in equal measure. One thing is certain—the quietly intense political manoeuvring will surely lead to blood, though in the best tradition of Johnnie To’s films, the violent confrontations are anything but predictable.

[Original unrestored video]
