Godzilla gets a new writer again (Max Borenstein)

[Living Corpse]

Would be nice to get an interview with David Goyer now that he's off the project. Although I'm sure he won't be allowed to reveal much it would be interesting to get some information on the direction of this project from him. Also why was he let go?

...

Where are you getting this info that he's been "let go"?

Toho doesn't have as much control as some of you may think. Is Toho investing millions of dollars into this project? No!

LP/WB have all the control, and all Toho is doing is making sure LP/WB is living up to the agreements. Which it seems from several interviews, that we are going to see a new version of the "real" Toho Godzilla, not some silly lizard like we saw in 1998.

I think LP is a very good company, but I am still not thrilled about the team behind this picture. I really wanted to see a bigger name involved.

I trust LP and WB a lot more then I do Sony and Tri-Star. I'll tell you that much.

LP is PAYING for the rights to use Godzilla. With that, comes Toho's rules.

Chris go work on the movie. Be our mole.

In spirit of opposing the awful tag line for GINO, I'd like to counter "Size Does Matter" with "Bigger isn't always better"


But maybe i'm just insecure.

Or "Size finally matters" refering GINO being not so big compared to the real Godzilla.

Tomoyuki Tanaka was the one that hated Godzilla vs. Hedorah (1971). Godzilla vs. Hedorah got good reviews when it came out and it's not that bad of a film. Banno is the only Showa director that is still alive and I trust him as a watch dog.

If Tanaka hates Hedorah which goji flims does he like.

Most of the other earlier ones, and the Heisei series. Part of why Tanaka disliked GvH is he wasn't able to be as personally involved since he was in the hospital.

As I stated in my previous post, there are obvious agreements. Nobody wants another GINO. But, generally when you buy the rights to something, you have artistic freedom to do what ever you want with the property.

It all depends on the contracts that were signed.

No you don't.

Hell, listen to the new podcast. Matt and Bob got some stories.

Bob: Let's make a comic where Godzilla has to protect his past self from a monster that eats dinosaurs.

Toho: No. Now sign this.


Years later...

Bob: Wait a minute.... ROM3 is sounds a lot like my idea of Godzilla going back in time to the age of dinosaurs to protect himself from a monsters that eats dinosaurs.

Toho: We like that story.

I'm starting to think that David S Goyer just wrote the story and Max Borenstein might be just writing the script.

I'm starting to think that David S Goyer just wrote the story and Max Borenstein might be just writing the script.

I agree, I think they rejected ''David Callaham's'' script completely... So this might be the second writer instead of a third like we think.

[Godzilla99]

David S Goyer just wrote the script for Godzilla 2012

[Legion1979]

David S Goyer just wrote the script for Godzilla 2012

Thanks for that.

[FlamingZilla23]

David S Goyer just wrote the script for Godzilla 2012

i think LP didn't like the script from Goyer.

I'm suspecting he just did a story treatment and not necessarily a full screenplay. Basically putting down a solid foundation for another screenwriter (IE; Max Borenstein) to work off of. It worked for Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

If this ends up anything like The Dark Knight, I will be ecstatic.
