Hearing rumors that Desplat is returning as composer. If so, I'm definitely gonna bite the bullet and get Apple TV+.

Would be awesome if true. Would go a long way towards signifying that this series will be a spiritual sequel to 2014 in a way that the films haven’t been.

But I’m also skeptical. Haven’t seen this rumor anywhere else

No shit but no links or anything to it, just a vague name? Pretty terrible "news outlet".

It’s a pretty substantial publication and it’s also hidden behind a paywall.

They could certainly do better about some things but I don’t think they’re a malicious bad actor or anything.

I still don’t know if I fully believe the Wingard and Son of Kong stuff. It could be legit or it could just be people parroting stuff that was quoted in Deadline articles from last year

I gathered by Google searching. Still, some indication of this (in a reply tweet or something) would help. Most news accounts I follow at least maintain an off-site blog or something to properly add context or sources to announcements.

Me either, I don't think it's malicious at all. It's just poorly run and real slow when it comes to announcements. They're often the last of the kaiju-related accounts on my timeline to report news.

To go through Production Weekly's paywall, you need to spend at least $75. I guess nobody had guts to pay that amount just for a tiny tidbit. Includeing me. LOL

Looks like Kurt Russell might be our first official cast member to join the MONARCH/Godzilla TV show.

The designated source has as much credibility as We Got This Covered. They are often guilty of making things up to generate clicks from curious readers.

One example from a year ago was ttheir claim that Sam Raimi would return to direct a solo Spider-Man film with Tobey Maguire returning to reprise the role. Never happened. GFR has been correct in the past, but they are habitual liars. I just can't believe this. It's too good to be true.

Literally every one of their recommended articles starts with "EXCLUSIVE" :lol: Certainly suspect. Pretty cool if it turns out to be true... however, obligatory "he'll be the most interesting character and die within the first 3 episodes" comment.

I also like how every article you click, it either ranges from "15 seconds ago" to "43 minutes ago" despite this being a day old article.

It's almost like they're being disingenuous.

The plot thickens. It's looking like the Kurt Russell rumor from awhile back might be legit.

Much more believable source, now it might be actually happening. Also if true please let Kurt Russel be a recurring character going forward, good catch if he joins.

Kurt Russel is one of the all-time greatest camp-action actors ever; from big trouble in little China, to escape from New York, and even the Thing. He’s A-list among movie geeks only though. While sure yeah the recent stuff with him in Guardians of the Galaxy gave him a new boost, but he’s not exactly a mega star or in his prime. Still cool though, if he’s in it.
