Legendary Picture's GODZILLA Script Is Finished

Legendary Picture's GODZILLA Script Is Finished

With the production date in place, and the release date calmly approaching, how is the script coming along for the King of the Monsters?

Well the answer to that particular question is that the script to Legendary Picture's GODZILLA is officially complete!



As most of you would recall back in the early days of October that Drew Pearce was assigned to polish the script, and mature characters to a slightly more seasoned age. But during the mid weeks of November, it was confirmed earlier on by Drew Pearce himself through twitter that his time in "Godzilla-Land" was over.



There you have it folks, the script is finished. With the production date gradually rolling up soon, and Seamus McGarvey testing what visual approach that the film will take, this is most likely the last workings that the script will go through. (Unless announced otherwise by Legendary themselves, which most likely won't happen since they never had any real problems with the script when assigning Drew. They just needed a touch-up.)

Now all that's left is casting! Which more or less is most likely happening behind the scenes currently. We still have a few months before production, so don't expect any casting rumors or news right away. However, by the time 2013 finally rolls around, expect to see some interesting signs of radioactivity around this upcoming film.

Godzilla sucks.
The 90's movie was cool, because they made it a Monster to be reckoned with, instead of some fat stupid Rubber suit.

If you mean the Godzilla movie from 98, that was not Godzilla. They didn't make him a force to be reckoned with because he was shot down by the army. The army never stood a chance against Godzilla. He didn't breath his atomic breath and he looked like a gigantic dinosaur.

And they sure as hell won't be using a rubber suit in this new remake.

@Tensho22 No, Emmerics Godzilla sucked by them making him an animal, with zero intelligence, and by making Him/Her? get pregnant A-sexually, and the babies hatch and terrorize people Jurrasic Park Raptor style, there was too much fail in just the things I mentioned, let alone the core cast sucking, Matthew Broderick for your protaganist.., really?...

@GetsugaTensho22, the 1998 disrespected the source material that was established by Toho. It was heavily backlashed by fans and film critics as the movie in general was NOT Godzilla. And wasn't the Godzilla that many people wanted to see.

GINO was a large animal, it did not stand for any nuclear symbolism, it ran from the military, was killed by mere missles, held no atomic breath, did not bare any representation as nuclear terror or as a force of nature. It was simply a different coated Jurassic Park except within New York with a mutated iguana nesting underneath it.

And please, don't troll. Surely enough you have enough home training to properly state a opinion without using any form of juvenile manners.

I know this is a lost cause, but I like the Emmerich movie. But I also like ALL the Godzilla movies, so nobody attack me please. I hope this new American version is something special : )

Personally i wasn't a fan of the 1998 film but that's just because even for an Emmerich film it was terrible in my opinion.

Though it might not have been so badly received if it wasn't called ''Godzilla'' an called it the Official ''Jurassic park 3''

It just wasn't Godzilla no matter how you cut it.. IT wasn't updated, or slightly changed... It was completely changed an why they honestly thought they could get away with it still astonishes me..

This is one of those franchises you need to either step away from or go balls to the wall. Give Hardy a chance to voice Godzilla with his Bane voice, that would be hilarious
