Godzilla gets a new writer again (Max Borenstein)

[Cimmerian Dragon]

It's disheartening if this means that they're scrapping a shitload of work and going back to square one but, as others have suggested, at the very least we know that Legendary is still working on the damn thing. This is ambiguous news, but at least it is news.

Yes, and it's nice to search for "Godzilla" at google news and not be treated to a litany of Nissan and Baseball stories.

Kinda worried that the script will end up looking like a kindergartener's cut and paste project... >.>

[gatorzilla]

Someone on FB asked Legendary if a new script was being written or if Borenstein was finishing up Goyer's touches and this was there response...

"Can't make any further comment beyond what you know at this point.
The project remains a big priority for us and we love all the questions and enthusiasm you and the other Godzilla fans bring to the table."

Make of it what you will but it sounds like the film is very important to them which is why they are taking their time on it to make it right.
I just don't get the secrecy though unless they have big plans lined up

[StonedHope]

I personally can't help but take this as good news. I was always worried that Goyer's heart and full attention wouldn't be present in this project, but his credentials instilled me with enough confidence.
But the new blood just sounds exciting. Someone who hasn't been through the gears of Movie making machine.

Allow me to translate.

The project remains a big priority for us and we love all the questions and enthusiasm you and the other Godzilla fans bring to the table roughly translates to, "We have bigger things to worry about and we can't answer your questions because we haven't done anything with the project."

When was it announced that the film would be a remake?

Uh...Never?
It's a reboot, not a skreeonk remake.

Everything's being called a reboot now so it doesn't really matter. They're pretty interchangable.

When the head of LP is a Godzilla fan, you know that sooner or later this film will be made.

Is he? Source please if you can.

"And even with movies as a general passion for Tull, the character of Godzilla is a particular passion, something he loves dearly." - from article.

[Living Corpse]

Hey thanks man.

[ZillaEra]

Hey thanks man.

No problem, your welcome. I would like to know the author's sources though, he's apparently friends with Tull, and seemed to have a lot of inside information, I hope it's credible. Lol.

Movies getting multiple re-writes is a bad thing since most people think that is a sign that the movie sucks and they can't choose on how to make it better then the film itself ends up being worst. I remember that The Flintstones (1994) and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) went through multiple re-writes and both movies end up being total crap.

Oh boo hoo. Stop complaining, dude.

Did it ever cross your mind that these guys are legally bond NOT to disclose information unless the company says its ok?

Lets not forget this movie is slated for 2013-2014. Thats a long ass time. No reason to get impatient, because its not going to come any faster.

It was meant to be comical I wasn't complaining

[Godzilla 2000]

It was meant to be comical I wasn't complaining

It didnt come off as comical. It came off as whining.

I apologize if that was truly your intent, but, lets be honest, far too many people have been bitching and whining about this project since day 1, so its sometimes hard to distinguish posts like that from jesting ones.

in your opinion. I love both those films.

[FlamingZilla23]

i have a HUGE feeling that this film will eventually start in 2013 or 2014

[Eunectes]

I'm sure the film is going to be released early 2013 to late 2013.
