Legendary confirms that Krampus’ Michael Dougherty will direct Godzilla 2
Suggesting that the central metaphor behind Godzilla might go from the dangers of nuclear warfare to the dangers of spoiled children, Variety is reporting that Krampus director Michael Dougherty has been hired to direct the next Godzilla movie for Legendary Pictures. The idea of Dougherty taking on this gig was teased in October, back when he was writing the Godzilla 2 script with Krampus co-writer Zach Shields. Gareth Edwards, who directed the last Godzilla movie, has since moved on to bigger things.
