THE fearsome Godzilla and the mighty Kong are back in action as Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire sees the legendary Titans work together to defeat a mysterious new threat that challenges the existence of Hollow Earth and humanity.

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.

DISCOVER the heart and soul of Bob Marley in the groundbreaking film “Bob Marley: One Love.” Experience the unseen facets of Marley’s life and legacy in theaters starting March 13, 2024.

Bob Marley’s unparalleled influence on music and culture continues to resonate across the globe, and the much-anticipated film, “Bob Marley: One Love,” promises to bring a fresh perspective on the legendary artist’s life and legacy. Directed by the acclaimed Reinaldo Marcus Green, this cinematic journey delves deep into Marley’s essence, exploring facets of his personality and legacy that have rarely been seen before.

Green’s direction paints a picture of Marley not just as a musician but as a visionary who carried the burdens of the world with a singular mission: to spread love and joy. “Bob carried the weight of the world on his shoulders to bring one love and joy to others. He bore that pain for us. He carried abandonment. He carried agony. He carried guilt. But he did not carry hate,” Green reflects, encapsulating the spirit that drove Marley throughout his life.

The film’s portrayal by Kingsley Ben-Adir offers an intimate look at Marley’s complex persona, beyond his public image. Ben-Adir shares, He wasn’t sentimental,” Ben-Adir says. “I can say that confidently. I’ve spent enough time with him now to know that Bob wasn’t sentimental. Music and football were his systems of how he felt good. Football, stamina, running, music, lick of smoke. He lost himself in the music. I feel like he’s singing for his life a lot of the time.” Lashana Lynch, embodying Rita Marley, adds a layer of profound connection, attributing Marley’s inner peace as a source of inspiration for a world in dire need of harmony, “If many in this world had even a slice of the level of peace that Bob harnessed throughout his time on this Earth, well, we all know how that could reverberate,” says Lynch.

Cedella Marley, Bob Marley‘s daughter, voices a poignant hope that the film will perpetuate her father’s legacy of kindness and unity. “My kids, I hope they witness a different type of kindness.

Kindness for Mankind, kindness for one another. There are still certain things I thought my children would never have to experience, that you never thought would still be happening,” she says.

“And if not my children, hopefully their children. We’ll keep spreading his message. Because Bob Marley still has a lot of work to do.” she asserts, highlighting the timeless relevance of Marley’s work.

“Bob Marley: One Love” is not just a film; it’s a celebration of a man who became a symbol of peace and unity. With an ensemble cast bringing to life the story of Bob Marley, audiences are invited to experience the depth of his influence on music, culture, and beyond.
