Per usual, Gormaru Island is on top of the harder-to-find tidbits regarding the Godzilla fandom. This time they have unearthed an article by Atlanta, Georgia's Business Chronicle. The Chronicle had an interview with film office chief Lee Thomas who spoke about the industry's growth in Atlanta. One of the films referenced as part of the industry's 2018 development was Godzilla vs. Kong.

"Thomas said she thinks the industry will continue building momentum throughout 2018, with more shows coming town, reportedly including "Godzilla vs. King Kong."

This is the only mention of the big 2020, giant monster crossover. The article continues to pull examples of how Atlanta's film business is growing--Including a Kodak Photographic Arts Center which would make the city set-friendly for celluloid.

It's important to note that this is not official confirmation that Godzilla vs. Kong's production will start this year. However, the Atlanta Business Chronicle has been on point about Godzilla before. This could be the first sign of a quickly approaching production start. More as it comes.

Thanks to Gormaru Island for the digging.

Godzilla vs. Kong is directed by Adam Wingard based on a writers room story led by Terry Rossio. Alex Garcia is producing.

The film will hit theaters May 22nd, 2020.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters hits theaters March 22nd, 2019. Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters will arrive on Netflix January 17th, 2018 and its sequel Godzilla: Decisive Battle, Mobile Breeder City will hit Japanese theaters May, 2018.

Spi3000 Jan-08-2018 7:46 PM It would make sense to start the filming this year if they want to make the 2020 mark. I mean, it's possible that they could wait out until 2019, but with that being the year when Godzilla King of Monsters being planned for release, it would be smart to just have that also be the year to REALLY start hyping the "Godzilla vs. Kong" film. Or even more sweeter, include the first premier Trailer of Godzilla vs. Kong at the end of Godzilla King of Monsters. Similar to Back to the Future Part II when it launched in theaters, which had a trailer for the next movie at the end. Could you imagine the kind of hype that would happen when fans not only get to see a teaser End-Credit, but a Premier Trailer to the next movie? It likely won't happen, but that would be most wicked.
MinecraftDinoKaiju Jan-08-2018 8:11 PM ^ I agree. That would be an awesome idea for them to do that in Godzilla King of Monsters.
JurassicNight Jan-08-2018 9:02 PM That would be insanely awesome if that happened
The Legend of Brian Jan-08-2018 9:44 PM I'm moving to Atlanta this summer specifically to find some way to work on this. It's a once in a life time opportunity and I can't miss it.
The Jurassic Bootleg Jan-09-2018 8:09 PM Hmm, interesting.
MinecraftDinoKaiju Jan-09-2018 8:57 PM That is interesting. Also, I think they should do something similar to Back to the Future Part II when it launched in theaters, which had a trailer for the next movie at the end. It has been almost thirty years since it happened anyway.
The Jurassic Bootleg Jan-11-2018 5:36 PM ^ I don't think Legendary would do something like that tho but it would be cool if they did.
riggzamortis86 Jan-12-2018 8:49 AM I think we will get an extra scene after the credits of KOTM, like K:SI I can guess that after the ending credits there will be a scene that somehow includes Kong and the possibility of other monsters that Monarch must deal with. then end scene.
MinecraftDinoKaiju Jan-12-2018 10:44 AM ^ See? This guy understands.
RR44 Jan-23-2018 11:26 AM G KOM- credits roll.. then.. a shot of skull island... then a huge silhouette of KK.. followed by a roar... fade out.
riggzamortis86 Jan-23-2018 11:33 AM ^maybe kong does a shadow puppet of a bunny, that would freak me out! joking aside, that would pretty much sum up what I would come to expect at the end of KOTM.
