In 1998, GINO came out soon after Godzilla - still quite popular - had been "retired" in Godzilla vs Destroyah, to incredibly high box office and merchandise sales and was still being merchandised by all sorts of companies and was still a well known name in Japan. An American Godzilla movie was unprecedented, so in this country there was no way of knowing what would happen. I don't think anyone anticipated that this flick would turn into a festering stink pile.
Flash forward to 2010 and we're dealing with Japanese audiences not giving a rat's ass about the character over 5 years after Godzilla: Final Wars ended up being the biggest bomb in the series' history, and since then interest and merchandise in that country has slowly dried up. In America Godzilla has also faded away quite a bit and the failure of the '98 film is the stuff of legend.
This new film has to be fantastic. Has to be. And I'm sure everyone working on it knows that. Because if it fails I can easily see it being the final nail in the coffin for Godzilla.

Michael Giacchino for film score for sure. His work on LOST and Star Trek is just fantastic.
As for director... I don't really know... how about Roland Emmerich

Some people may hate me for this.
But
JAMES CAMERON
and have him bring Brad Fiedel out of hiding to score it.
Cameron seems to have some interest in manga etc since hes wanted to do the Battle Angel Alita movie for a while it seems. But there-in lies the conflict. Unless he can direct it in the year after Alita's release with everything else on his plate and not rush it. Welp...

Michael Bay.
Seriously.
The story might be confusing but at least it would be action packed.
It would probably make a lot of money too.

man I would say Basil Poledouris for a score, but it turns out he's dead. Michael Kamen from the original x-men movie, or Tyler Bates (300)
As far as M. Nigh Shamalyan staying away from the movie, I'm definitely for that.
the ending
"Just kidding, I'm Godzilla, no wait, I'm a whale, No wait, I'm M. Night Shamalyan, Just kidding, I'm a lizard that drank powerthirst."
