the upcoming "Godzilla"
reboot says Deadline.
Darabont has been hired to do a final rewrite of the script
David Callahan, David Goyer Drew Pearce and Max Borenstein have all worked on previous drafts of the screenplay.
The film has been in the pipeline for several years, but picked up steam recently - after a proof of concept trailer screened twice during Comic-Con 2012 and got great reaction. The project will "return the character to its epic roots with a gritty, realistic actioner".
The film will be directed by Gareth Edwards ("Monsters").
Goyer, Borenstein, Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni will produce.
Roy Lee, Dan Lin Brian Rogers. Alex Garcia Patricia WhitcherDoug Davison, Yoshimitsu Banno and Kenji Okuhira will serve as executive producers.
The film will get a 3-D release, but it's unclear if it is being shot that way or converted in post production. The big guy returns to theaters on May 16th 2014.
Hold on though, HitFix says Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures are now in a legal tussle over the property. Lin and Lee came to Legendary with a Toho rights deal for the iconic movie monster. Now that they have the rights, Legendary apparently wants to drop them. However, the Lin & Lee are not going quietly and a fight and is brewing--this could wind up in the courts.
