Trivia

• In 2013, Peter Jackson approached Adam Wingard with an offer to direct a sequel to his 2005 King Kong remake called Skull Island, written by Simon Barrett and produced by Mary Parent. According to Wingard, the film was never made because it "was set up at Universal, and the King Kong rights somehow ended up at Warner Bros." Parent also produced Godzilla vs. Kong.
• Wingard named Godzilla (1954), Godzilla vs. Hedorah, Invasion of Astro-Monster, Destroy All Monsters, and Godzilla vs. Destoroyah as his favorite Godzilla films.
