The Weekly Wrap: Godzilla vs. Kong Gets PG-13 Rating
The upcoming Godzilla vs. Kong film from Warner Bros. has earned a PG-13 rating ensuring “intense sequences of creature violence/destruction”. That alone should be good news for fans looking forward to this epic monster fest that will pitch two of film’s most famous monsters against each other. Godzilla vs. Kong is currently slated to hit cinemas in November but those plans may be postponed to next year as cinemas struggle to reopen. Warner Bros. has also not put out a trailer on the film yet, which suggests a possible postponement of the film, likely to next year.
Mission:
Impossible 7 To Resume Filming
The seventh instalment of Mission:
Impossible will finally resume filming in September. The production was
already due to begin filming in Italy in March when it came to a halt due to
the coronavirus pandemic. If it all goes according to plan, then the sequel
should make it for its original cinema premiere which was slated for mid-2021.
Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, the sequel has experienced some changes
recently due to scheduling issues, mainly involving the casting of a key
character.
Paramount
To Adapt Kill Them All Graphic Novel
The graphic novel, ‘Kill Them All’, will be adapted
into a feature film at Paramount Pictures. The studio is reportedly scouting
Victoria Mahoney to direct the film, which will be her first major directing
job. She previously served as a second unit director on The Rise of Skywalker, assisting J.J. Abrams. ‘Kill Them All’ will
be an all-out actioner with a female lead. The story centres on a betrayed

in the process.
Lionsgate
To Reopen Theme Park

attractions based on such motion picture blockbusters as The Hunger Games, The

Daredevil
Rights To Revert To Marvel Studios
In six months’ time, the rights to Daredevil will
officially revert back to Marvel Studios, allowing the studio to do what it
pleases to the character. This means that Marvel can utilise the character how
it sees fit within its cinematic or television universe. It can also mean that
Marvel Studios can ultimately decide if it wants to continue the storylines set
during the Netflix series. The original agreement between Netflix and Marvel
Studios limited the use of the characters from the series for 18 months
following the cancellation of the series.
