Yahoo Movies Krampus director is helming a new monster in Godzilla 2
If you weren't already excited about Godzilla 2, you will be now - because Krampus and Trick 'r Treat director Michael Dougherty is taking charge of the movie and tackling a less seasonal monster.
ScreenCrush reports that Dougherty will be sitting in the director's chair, after first reporting that he was in talks to direct back in October.
Dougherty was already on board to co-script the sequel with his Krampus partner Zach Shields and Max Borenstein.

Gareth Edwards's 2014 reboot, which was the 30th Godzilla film to be made, starred Bryan Cranston, Ken Watanabe, Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
We've got high hopes for the sequel now that Dougherty is helming it, being that he's behind two of THE BEST films ever - Halloween anthology Trick 'r Treat and festive horror Krampus.
Starring Anna Paquin, Bryan Cox and Dylan Baker, 2007's Trick 'r Treat is the most perfectly atmospheric October movie around...
Meanwhile, 2015 film Krampus, starring Adam Scott, Allison Tolman and Toni Collette, will get you in the Christmas spirit as the characters are terrorised by Krampus - aka the Christmas devil - and his band of not-so-merry gingerbread men.
Godzilla 2, formally titled Godzilla: King of Monsters, is scheduled for release on March 22, 2019. A Godzilla vs Kong movie is also being released on May 29, 2020.
