There hasn't been much movement on the new Godzilla reboot which is setup at Legendary Pictures. Yet producer Brian Rogers (via ScreenRant) has some words that should reassure fans who felt Sony butchered the King of The Monsters back in 1998. He confirms that we'll be be seeing the big green guy facing other monsters instead of soldiers. Since the project is aiming for a 2012 release we should be hearing more information on who will direct and if any known actors will have roles in the coming months.
“In all the conversations we had with Legendary [Pictures], they made it clear that they want to pay homage to the traditional Godzilla character and they did not want to make the same decisions that Sony did which was taking the whole character and…it became more of an iguana-like character, laying eggs,” he explained. “They wanted to go back to the history of the project, but again because it’s a reboot, bring it into the 21st century and do a project that was current and exciting to the audience… Similar to what Legendary did with ‘Batman.’”
“I think I can safely say that there will be another monster or monsters that Godzilla will fight. I think traditionally those are kind of situations that the fan base wants to see. In the original Sony version, in my opinion, not having another monster that they were fighting, was a drawback and not an asset. And just having Godzilla fight the US army was not in the same spirit of the character.”
