Borenstein is an unknown commodity to audiences, as he has yet to see his work make it to the screen, but he has nonetheless been very busy as of late.  For Legendary, he contributed to Jimi, a currently in-development biography of Jimi Hendrix, and he also worked on The Seventh Son, which has Julianne Moore, Jeff Bridges, and Ben Barnes involved at this point.

Outside of Legendary, he also just handed in a draft of The Art of the Steal for Warner Bros and producers Zac Efron and Kevin McCormick.  It's unknown if that script is any relation to last year's documentary of the same name, which chronicled the fight over Dr. Albert C. Barnes' incredible art collection following his death.  I would guess Borenstein's script is wholly unrelated.

Godzilla has an interesting and appropriate director in the form of Gareth Edwards, whose micro-budget Monsters impressed last year.  You can see that one for yourself on Netflix Instant.  Over the summer, the always-busy David Goyer was brought aboard to work on the script.  Goyer is probably best known as the co-writer of Batman Begins and writer of the Blade films.  He also receives story credit for The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.

The original Gojira debuted in 1954 – not a decade after Hiroshima and Nagasaki became the only populated cities to be destroyed by a nuclear weapon – and told the tale of giant, unstoppable lizard created by nuclear testing rampaging through Tokyo.  The last attempt at a remake missed out on the subtext at work there.
