IN THE COUNTRY & TOWN SPRING 2024

Godzilla vs Kong director Adam Wingard returns to helm the fifth chapter of the MonsterVerse franchise, which began a decade ago with the special effects-laden revival of Godzilla.

This latest box office behemoth begins with Godzilla ruling the waves while Kong reigns supreme over the Hollow Earth.

A devastating new threat emerges, hidden within our world, which jeopardises not only humanity’s existence but also the survival of the mighty titans.

Two gigantic rivals unite in an epic battle of strength and tenacity to combat a terrifying force rooted in the mysterious history of Skull Island.

Anthropologist Dr Ilene Andrews (Rebecca Hall), who works for secret scientific organisation Monarch, her deaf ward Jia (Kaylee Hottle) and conspiracy theorist podcaster (Brian Tyree Henry) are drawn into the eye of the storm when hulking creatures collide.

LITTLE EGGS: A FROZEN RESCUE (UK U/ROI G, 91 mins)

Released: March 29 (UK & Ireland, selected cinemas)

Almost exactly one year after an English language dubbed version of the Mexican computer-animated adventure Little Eggs: An African Rescue rolled into cinemas, the fifth and reportedly final film in the franchise hatches in time for Easter.

Siblings Gabriel and Rodolfo Riva Palacio Alatriste share the director’s chair for a fast-paced romp which begins with pirates kidnapping a polar bear named Polito and three penguin brothers.

The abducted animals are pressganged into performing in a circus but they escape and seek refuge with plucky rooster Toto, his wife Di and their children Uly and Bibi.

Toto agrees to help Polito and the penguins return to their home in the South Pole and he curries the support of family and friends including eggs Confi and Willy and bacon Tocino.

However, the nefarious owners of the circus are determined to reclaim the missing animals.
