"Gareth Edwards has revealed that he won&amp;#039;t be directly involved in a sequel to his BAFTA-nominated debut Monsters. The British filmmaker told Dread Central that Vertigo Films, which owns the rights to the science fiction road movie, is going to &amp;quot;move forward with another Monsters-related project very soon&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not sure how involved I can be right now, and I don&amp;#039;t think my next film really should be a sequel just yet,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d like to do something else first, but I would definitely be open to returning at some point.&amp;quot; Edwards added: &amp;quot;I do think whoever Vertigo ends up hiring will do a great job because they really know what they&amp;#039;re doing there. For me, if they hire someone to direct another Monsters movie, the last thing they need is for me to be hanging around, telling people how the movie should be. &amp;quot;Whoever comes in should definitely be given free rein to put their own spin on this world, and I know they&amp;#039;ll get the right person.&amp;quot; It isn&amp;#039;t yet known if original Monsters stars Scoot McNairy and Whitney Able will be involved in sequels or prequels, although Edwards recently hinted to DS that news about the pair&amp;#039;s next project will surface soon. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s stuff going on with them that I&amp;#039;m just keeping my fingers crossed [for]. I think we&amp;#039;ll hear news soon about what they&amp;#039;re up to,&amp;quot; he commented. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m really excited for them because they totally deserve more success than I&amp;#039;ve ever got out of [Monsters]. It&amp;#039;s their movie - it&amp;#039;s the Scoot and Whitney show.&amp;quot; Edwards will next direct Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures&amp;#039; Godzilla remake. &amp;gt; At The Movies: Gareth Edwards talks Monsters / Godzilla "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
