There Will Never Be a Director’s Cut of GODZILLA VS KONG Now
Adam Wingard’s Godzilla vs. Kong hits theaters and HBO Max this week. And today, Wingard reveals we’ll never get an Extended Cut or a Director’s Cut of his new film.
Wingard tells Variety: “No Snyder Cut for me. This is it.”
He says: “A lot of the fans online were all asking me is this going to be a three-hour film? When it was announced that it was a little under two hours they immediately thought — when is the director’s cut coming out? I like movies under two hours. I think if you do a movie over two hours, you better have a damn good reason for it to be that long. At the end of the day, if you’re going to make this movie into three hours, you’re not going to get an extra hour of monsters fighting. You’re going to get an extra hour of people talking about monsters.”
It sports a 78% over on Rotten Tomatoes. The Critics Consensus reads: Delivering squarely on its title, Godzilla vs. Kong swats away character development and human drama to deliver all the spectacle you’d expect from giant monsters slugging it out.
