From Collider:

[quote="Brendan Bettinger "]
Here’s the basic sequence of events:

* Legendary Pictures acquires the rights to Godzilla with plans for a 2012 film
* Legendary Pictures buys a spec script from Travis Beacham (Clash of the Titans) titled Pacific Rim, “set in a future in which malevolent creatures threaten the earth, the planet must band together and use highly advanced technology to eradicate the growing menace.â€

Screen Rant Interview:
[quote="Mike Eisenberg "]Just the other day, it was rumored that del Toro might direct the upcoming Godzilla reboot from Legendary Pictures. As it turned out, the misunderstanding came from del Toro’s rave over Travis Beacham’s script for Pacific Rim. The two have similar archetypes, but are completely unrelated.

We asked the director to clear up any further confusion by revisiting the rumor on camera. As enticing as it sounds, Guillermo del Toro is definitely not helping Legendary Pictures bring Godzilla back.

[quote="Guillermo del Toro "] [i] “I’ve never been involved in Godzilla. I’ve read and liked Pacific Rim a lot. I’ve read it because I’ve met [writer] Travis Beacham way before and I loved his writing and I loved his world creation. But it was definitely more rumor than anything else. I never laid eyes– I know Legendary’s keeping Godzilla and Pacific Rim completely separate.â€

Wait a minute -- I thought someone at Legendary Pictures clarified that Pacific Rim and Godzilla are two different movie projects. Is Harry confused or has Legendary really rolled Pacific Rim into their Godzilla project?
