Legendary Pictures ‘Godzilla’ Being Rewritten By Frank Darabont

That’s right folks. Frank Darabont, director of the incredible adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shawshank Redemption and original (though short lived) showrunner of AMC’s The Walking Dead has a new project on his hands.

Darabont has been tasked with rewriting the script for the film (of which no plot details have yet been revealed). Production is scheduled to begin in March, so he better get to work!

Trouble is also brewing between Legendary Pictures and producers Dan Lee and Roy Lin, who have apparently left the picture. It’s unknown how this will affect the final product, but will likely have a negative impact on the film’s budget (unless some new producers jump on board). For all the details on that kerfuffle (which shouldn’t affect the film creatively), head over to Deadline.

Godzilla is slated to hit theatres (in 3D of course) on May 16th, 2014. Excited?

Ah, nostalgia.
