David Goyer To Make ‘Godzilla’ Awesome Again

David Goyer just got an awesome assignment. The Dark Knight Rises and Man Of Steel writer will pen Legendary Pictures‘ new version of Godzilla. Plot details are under wraps but I imagine lots of screaming and running. And maybe there will be other monsters for Big G to chest-bump.

Monsters director Gareth Edwards is also attached which could be really good news. He could be just the director to help us get inside the head of Godzilla and see what makes him tick. He must have dreams. Dreams that don’t involve throwing buildings and orphanages. (Deadline)

Good news for people who love terrifying monsters: McG is back. Oh, and so is Monsters director Gareth Edwards.

McG is set to direct Ouija, a film based on the supernatural-themed board game produced by Hasbro. If you think that’s a stupid idea, don’t mention it to Universal Pictures. It’s the studio’s second boardgame-based production, with Battleship already well under way.

If that’s not your style, perhaps Gareth Edwards can interest you in a reboot of the Godzilla franchise. The director is reportedly on board to write and direct the project for Warner Bros.

While these projects might not be the most original in the world, they do allow me to point out that Hollywood is all out of ideas, which marks the 214th time I’ve done so since I began working for ScreenJunkies back in June of 2009. That fact might make it seem like I’m not very original, myself. But as the rapper once said, don’t hate the player, hate the game…the game of Ouija. (Source: Latino Review 1 and 2)

Mexico Is Overrun In ‘Monsters’ Trailer #2

This morning, we have a second trailer for Gareth Edwards‘s Monsters. We didn’t post the first trailer because, y’know, too much typing. Also, there wasn’t much to be shown. But this time around, we have a sliiiightly more substantial look. And don’t worry it doesn’t include spoilers, so you should be in good shape if you want to walk into the theater withou knowing too much. I’m all for preserving the mystery and watching through fresh eyes. It’s rare that you get the opportunity, and Monsters is said to be an awesome giant monster movie with focus on character. Suck on that, Starship Troopers 2: Hero Of The Federation.

Take a stroll through the infected hellhole of Mexico after the jump…
