Anything you can share about your next project? Here is your chance to go crazy!
My next project is a reboot of Godzilla for Legendary Pictures and the folks behind the recent Batman trilogy. Our director is the young and enviably talented Gareth Edwards, whose vision for a fresh but faithful update of this beloved classic will – I feel safe in saying – kick major ass. Wish I could go crazy and tell you more, but I am pretty sure I would then be contractually obligated to be shot.

MouthForWar wrote:Its good to hear that everyone is still excited about the project. Call me naive, but I honestly think its taking so long because they are really trying to find something that works. Godzilla IS a pretty tough nut to crack for a reboot, especially for an American audience.
Warner Bros. don't want another Green Lantern on their hands and LP don't want to be strapped with another Jonah Hex or Sucker Punch level bomb. And unlike Superman, they don't have a crazy deadline to meet in order to retain the rights to the character.

Godzilla is the same but different. Like any good movie you need an impressive story populated by interesting characters, but part of the reason you watch a giant monster movie is to see these forces of nature. It's not like Jaws or Alien where what you don't see is more scary or suspenseful, it's awe-inspiring because these beings exist in the first place. You can't hide a mountain, especially one made of flesh rampaging through a city or fighting another like it.
