Gareth Edwards, who recently brought us the creepy sci-fi drama, Monsters looks to be the man taking over the planned Godzilla reboot. Doom scribe, David Callaham had been writing a script for the picture, but it looks as though Edwards will step in to do that job, then direct the picture.
Eyes are set on a summer 2012 release date, but given the state of early post production, time could end up a serious factor in the process.
The hiring of Edwards looks like Warner Brothers utilizing the already spoken-of idea of drawing inspiration from Christopher Nolan’s Batman reboot. It’s a solid plan, but then again Roland Emmerich also seemed the perfect choice to shoot the 1998 rendition.
