Legendary Pictures has been slowly working on a reboot of Godzilla, and for the last couple of Comic Cons have been teasing the film. However it’s always seemed to be quite a way off, but now things are moving forward, as Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have set a May 16th, 2014 release date for the film, and confirmed that the movie will be in 3D.
Gareth Edwards (Monsters) is set to direct from a script by David Callaham (The Expendables), David S. Goyer (Christopher Nolan’s Batman films) and Max Borenstein (The Seventh Son). Toho Studios, which produced the original Japanese movies, is overseeing the efforts of Legendary and WB in order to try and ensure they don’t repeat the mistakes of Roland Emmerich’s version.
Deadline says that the plan is to “return the character to its epic roots with a gritty, realistic actioner.” Quite what we’ll end up with isn’t clear yet, although hopefully they’ll release the test footage shown at Comic Con, so we can get an idea.
