Quelle: slashfilm.comGodzilla never stays dead for long. Granted, the 1998 Columbia TriStar version directed by Roland Emmerich seemed to kill off any ambition to make further Godzilla movies in the States, simply by virtue of being truly awful.
But now Legendary Pictures, the company behind 300 and The Dark Knight, is bringing an American Godzilla back to screens, thanks to a licensing deal with Toho Company.
A press release from Legendary announces the development, but doesn’t offer many details in terms of creative talent. Producers include Dan Lin, Roy Lee and Brian Rogers.
The company will, in the near future, announce a filmmaker to helm the film for an intended 2012 release. The film will fall under the company’s co-production and co-financing deal with Warner Bros. Toho will distribute the film in Japan.

First Look at the New Godzilla!

Legendary Pictures unveiled a first look at the new Godzilla using Augmented Reality at the San Diego Comic-Con. Attending the convention to celebrate the beginning of production on the film, Comic-Con attendees were able to receive a T-shirt with this image of the new Godzilla. When they looked at themselves in a webcam at the Legendary Pictures booth, they saw a superimposed animation of Godzilla's "atomic breath" shooting out into the air in front of them from Godzilla's mouth, complete with black smoke rising from the flames and the ground-shaking bellow of Godzilla's instantly recognizable roar. Talking Dog Studios designed the immersive experience for the film, which Warner Bros. Pictures is targeting for a 2012 release.

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, which is in development at Legendary Pictures.
It was announced earlier this month that Frank Darabont has joined Gareth Edward's upcoming Godzilla as a screenwriter. Today, in an interview with io9, Darabont speaks about what he hopes to bring to the reimagined franchise.
"What I found very interesting about Godzilla is that he started off definitely as a metaphor for Hiroshima and Nagasaki," he explains. "And some of the atom bomb testing we were doing in the South Pacific in the subsequent years. The giant terrifying force of nature that comes and stomps the s--t out of your city, that was Godzilla. What we're trying to do with the new movie is not have it camp, not have it be campy. We're kind of taking a cool new look at it. But with a lot of tradition in the first film. We want this to be a terrifying force of nature. And what was really cool, for me, is there was a very compelling human drama that I got to weave into it. It's not that cliched, thinly disguised romance or bromance, or whatever. It's different, it's a different set of circumstances than you're used to seeing."

Update von von Legendary Picstures Chef Thomas Tull:
Quelle: comingsoon.netGodzilla is obviously a big player at Legendary. The reboot is currently lensing in Vancouver under the direction of Gareth Edwards (Monsters) and Tull said his love for Godzilla ran deep, sharing his post-Thanksgiving tradition, as a kid, watching the Godzilla marathon that would play on TV. Rather than show footage, Gareth Edwards recorded a special message for the presentation. "There's no bigger or better monster than Godzilla," Edwards said. He added the film deals with themes of man meddling with Mother Nature and Mother Nature putting makind "in its place." Edwards expressed that that the story of Godzilla is highly relevant today and it ties in to the nuclear themes of the original. Of course, he didn't want to give "too much away" regarding the latter
