The Hollywood Reporter reports that British writer / director Gareth Edwards is close to signing a deal with Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures to helm their new take on the Godzilla franchise, which is pencilled in for a Summer 2012 release.
Edwards recently caused a splash with his low budget indie hit Monsters, which he wrote, directed and created the special effects for.
Warners acquired the American rights to Godzilla from Japan's Toho Studios in 2010. They will be hoping their take on the material fares better than the last attempt to bring the creature to American shores with Roland Emmerich's ill-fated 1998 blockbuster. In the meantime, we recommend checking out the restored version of the 1954 original, available on DVD from BFI video.
