For actors Rebecca Hall and Bryan Tyree Henry, working with director Adam Wingard and his infectious enthusiasm for the film made them feel excitement for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, especially for the fans. “I saw brand new stuff every day. It makes a huge difference when your leader is a fan of this kind of universe, and is excited by the discoveries of what could possibly be, what could unfold. I don’t want to spoil anything, but I think the fans are going to be very excited,” Henry, who plays the character Bermie Hayes, explains.

Rebecca Hall, playing the role of Dr. Ilene Andrews in the film, also shares about director Wingard’s attitude towards filming, “You get this belief that he has a sense of what the film’s going to be, but you also get to have a really good time on set, because he has this exuberance that is just intoxicating. He does have an inner 10-year-old, and he’s there all the time watching everything. He directs with that enthusiasm, and you know you’ve done well, because you can hear him chuckling.”

The film also boasts beautiful on-location scenes that took the cast members’ breath away. Rebecca Hall talks about how she channeled her character while filming with the wildlife in the Australian forests. “The wildlife on it is really astonishing. I didn’t think we could get much better than that, and then we went to the Daintree Rainforest, which is one of the oldest rainforests on the planet. I’m a bit of a plant nerd. I really like plants and I do a lot of gardening in my spare time. That makes me sound a little bit tragic, but it’s in keeping with Dr. Ilene Andrews, and it’s the truth. So, when I saw some of these plants in the Daintree Rainforest, I really nerded out,” she shares. 

Kaylee Hottle, who’s back as Jia Andrews, shares her excitement about being back in the Monsterverse for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. “For me to be back in the Monsterverse, it’s really, really nice to be back. It’s really exciting. Audiences will see even more action and more adventures. On this film, we went to the Daintree Rainforest. There were leeches, crocodiles, snakes, cassowaries. But it was beautiful,” she says.

Tickets are available for pre-order for selected cinemas at www.godzillaxkong.com.ph. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire opens in Philippine cinemas on Black Saturday, March 30.
