Apple’s Godzilla and the Titans Live-Action Series Finds Its Director

Matt Shakman has come onboard the live-action Godzilla series at Apple from Legendary Television, Variety reports.

The show was ordered at Apple back in January. Shakman will direct the first two episodes and serve as an executive producer on the series. The untitled series continues the story of the Legendary Monsterverse established in films like “Kong: Skull Island” and 2014’s “Godzilla.”
