New book gives behind-the-scenes look at making of 'King Kong vs. Godzilla' Kurt Anthony Krug When it comes to rooting for King Kong or Godzilla, author Daniel Wallace is torn. “They’re the most famous giant monsters in movie history. Who can choose?” said Wallace, who became a fan of both when watching 1962’s “King Kong vs. Godzilla” as a kid. Wallace’s latest book is “Godzilla vs. Kong: One Will Fall: The Art of the Ultimate Battle Royale” (Insight Editions, $45), giving readers a behind-the-scenes look at the making of “Godzilla vs. Kong,” released Wednesday in theaters and on HBO Max.
