During a special director’s panel with Edwards at the Kapow! Comic Convention in London, he offered the following update for us monster mayhem hungry fans …

“It’s going great, and I’m genuinely excited about it. We’re just working really hard with Legendary, who have been fantastic. Thomas Tull has just been an absolute pleasure and nothing like the experience they warn you about when you go to Hollywood. I can’t say much other than I hope that we’ll have some proper news soon. So you won’t have to wait too long at all.”

Max Borenstein (The Seventh Son) has been tapped to write the planned remake of Godzilla. Gareth Edwards, the director of the indie sci-fi movie Monsters, is attached to direct the creature feature centered on the giant city-destroying and monster-fighting lizard for Legendary Pictures.
