Report: “Godzilla” coming back to the big screen again, brought to you by Legendary Pictures…

Legendary Pictures, announced they scored the rights to remake “Godzilla” from Japan’s Toho Co. Warner Bros. will release the film and plans to release it in 2012. A director for the film have already been hired, but they will announce who it is sometime in the future. I imagine it will probably be a Japanese director.

Lets hope this will be better than the shitty Roland Emmerich remake. None of the new Godzilla remakes were any good anyways. I loved the classic Godzilla Japanese films. I was obsessed with them as a kid.

Wonder if they’ll try and make this version more like JJ Abrams “Cloverfield”.

Legendary pictures claim they will stay true to the Godzilla characters as the Japanese films, but I don’t know. I just have a feeling it will be a 3D CGI full of action effects. It probably will be a computerized CGI Godzilla. Those days of a man wearing a Godzilla costume for film are over.
