Drew Pearce To Rewrite Legendary’s ‘Godzilla’

by Shawn Madden

Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures announced recently that the highly anticipated Godzilla would be smashing it’s way into theaters May 16th, 2014. The Gareth Edwards (Monsters) directed film was first revealed at this years San Diego Comic-Con and the room exploded with excitement.

Variety is now reporting that screenwriter Drew Pearce has been hired to pen a final rewrite of the script. But it’s not because there’s anything wrong with the script. Reports are saying that there are actually no issues with the script. With casting expected to begin in four weeks, the last minute rewrite is to age the characters to match the actors that are being targeted for the film, which is actually a smart idea.

David Callaham (The Expendables), David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight) and Max Borenstein (The Seventh Son) can definitely expect a smart and action packed Godzilla flick. Pearce is also currently working on the script for a third Sherlock Holmes film for Warner Bros.

‘Mass Effect’ Movie Adaptation Script Is Finished

by Shawn Madden

It’s been almost a year since we have heard much about the movie adaptation of Mass Effect. Even though many fans were let down by the ending to Mass Effect 3 I can assure you that the movie is still moving forward. What I can’t really tell you is what speed it’s moving forward at. Mark Protosevich (Thor, I Am Legend) has reportedly finished the script for the film that will be produced by Avi Arad, Jon Nashik and Thomas Tull for Legendary/Warner Bros. The film was supposed to come out this year but is apparently shelved right now due to Protosevich having moved on to work on JJ Abrams and Edgar Wright’s Collider. This now brings many to wonder if we will ever actually see this film go into production or will it end up just like the Halo film that we never got?

‘Godzilla’ Will Be Smashing Hall H At Comic-Con!

by Shawn Madden

It seems Latino Review is on a roll. They’re reporting that Legendary will be not only bringing ‘Pacific Rim’ to Comic-Con but also none other than the Tokyo crusher himself…Godzilla!

“Not only is Legendary bringing the Lizard to comic con but get this, I hear the presentation is SICK! I’m not going to get into specific spoiler territory because then what’s the point of attending the panel, but take this one to the bank.

Godzilla will stomp both the audio and video systems within Hall H two weeks from this Saturday! I’ll be there to witness it myself. I can already envision them shutting down the lights, hearing Godzilla’s roar, and the crowd going wild”
