Jordan Vogt-Roberts took it to Twitter last night to reveal that he is not interested in developing another Monster Verse movie. “Kong: Skull Island” is currently one of the major blockbusters of the year, ensuring that new MonsterVerse will arrive in coming years. But it seems that the filmmaker is no more interested in the franchise, and has decided to part his ways.
In an interview with Yahoo, Jordan said that he is done with giant monster movies and it’s time to give a try to something better. He has joined hands with Warner Bros. and Disney for animated films.
It means we will soon see Jordan directing “Godzilla,” and “Cars 3” like movies.
Jordan Vogt-Roberts as a filmmaker
Sharing his experience about “Kong: Skull Island,” Vogt-Roberts said yesterday that he might not work on the setting again. Right now, he is looking for projects that could quench his thirst of developing live-action and science fiction films. For this, the filmmaker has begun negotiations with a couple of production houses, and will soon announce the names of his upcoming movies.
Born in 1984, Jordan is a famous screenwriter, producer, and director. He is best known for “Successful Alcoholics,” “Mash Up,” “The Kings of Summer,” “Mash Up,” “Funny or Die Presents,” and “Mint in a Box.”
