Monsters' Edwards Close to Deal on Godzilla Remake
posted on by Egan Loo
The Hollywood Reporter magazine reports that British director Gareth Edwards is close to signing onto Legendary Pictures' planned film remake of TOHO's iconic Godzilla monster. Edwards himself wrote and directed an independent science-fiction film called Monsters, which Magnet Releasing released in the United States last year after a film festival run.
Legendary Pictures had previously indicated that its version will hew closer to the original 1954 film rather than Sony's 1998 Godzilla remake. Dan Lin (Sherlock Holmes), Roy Lee (The Ring, Dark Water), and Brian Rogers remain on the project as producers along with Legendary's Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni. David Callaham was the writer originally assigned to the project, but Legendary Pictures is looking for a new writer.
