WithGodzilla vs. Kongnow playing in North American theaters and streaming for free on HBO Max, I recently spoke with directorAdam Wingardabout making the newest entry in the monster franchise. During the interview, he talked about why the first thirty minutes had the most deleted scenes, the costs of using Godzilla or Kong and working with the VFX teams, if they figured out the backstory of Kong’s axe, why the film didn’t include a post-credits scene, and more. In addition, he talked about his love ofStanley Kubrick’sThe Shining, why he would have enjoyed directing an episode ofThe X-FilesorStar Trek: The Next Generation, and more.
