Originally reported as a remake or reimagining, the Face/Off project isn’t exactly what we thought. Adam Wingard, director of Godzilla Vs. Kong, recently set the record straight for what his vision of the project is.
When the rumors of a Face/Off project originally surfaced, it was reported that the project would be a remake of the classic action film. However, Wingard recently set the record straight.
