Frank Darabont Hired To Rewrite 'Godzilla'
Stomping through Tokyo may not be so easy after all. Warner Brothers reboot of the famous cinematic lizard Godzilla, directed by Gareth Edwards, has just hired none other than author Frank Darabont to do a final rewrite on the script. Darabont has adapted several of Stephen King's works for the screen (including 'The Shawshank Redemption' and 'The Mist'), but it was his work on AMC's 'The Walking Dead' that earned him an extra boost of geek cred. The production on 'Godzilla' is slated to begin in March and the current script has been penned by Max Borenstein ('The Seventh Son'); from a story by David S. Goyer ('The Dark Knight'). There have also been rumblings of a battle brewing, not between Godzilla and Mothra, but between exiting Warner Brothers producers Roy Lee and Dan Lin and Legendary Pictures. This tiff may even end up in court. As of right now, 'Godzilla' is due in theaters May 16th, 2014.
Wow, a shot-in-the-arm for the new 'Godzila' arrives simultaneously with a potential setback. Isn't that just how all Godzilla movies play out? Good or bad, there's never just one monster. Frank Darabont coming aboard is great for this project. My biggest concern from the start was that screenwriter Max Borenstein has virtually no previous experience. Granted, that's not always a prerequisite for handing in a great screenplay, but after the abysmal disaster that was Roland Emmerich's 'Godzilla,' this franchise desperately needs a homerun. It's a bit troubling of course that this is the second rewrite we've heard about so far. Drew Pearce ('Iron Man 3') was brought in not so long ago. However, Darabont's work on 'The Walking Dead,' before he departed as showrunner, as well as his Oscar-nominated work on the Stephen King projects, can only benefit the reboot. Plus, 'The Mist' is a giant monster movie in and of itself so I'm interested to see where Darabont might find places to leave his mark on 'Godzilla.' My hope is that the legal skirmishes that appear to be on the horizon don't end up delaying the release.
What do you guys think? Excited Darabont is coming aboard? Any misgivings about his involvement? Who is your favorite Godzilla enemy?

Seriously, another writer? While I do sincerely wish for this to be good news(me being a ridiculously huge Godzilla fan), I can't help but worry about the ever growing number of people involved in the writing. My biggest fear is that the original script was so lacking that Legendary Pictures is hiring as many people as they can to salvage it. Otherwise why else do they need to hire four people. I hope I'm completely wrong and that all of this is just to create the perfect script. As for the two producers leaving, I don't think that will hurt the film financially, but I do hope that this doesn't lead to any legal issues that can delay the film's release. I do have to wonder why they left though? Could it be that they don't like the direction that the production is going? What is that direction and what where they expecting it to be?

And just like a kid growing up in the late 90s, you're both condescending and jaded.

I hate to be that guy who grew up in the late 90s so I don't get why people care about this or Ninja Turtles. Like really how do you make a good godzilla movie? How much emotion can you bring out of a giant lizard that's indestructible? He's the superman of Foreign icons
