Gareth Edwards to Direct 'Godzilla'
Wed, January 5, 2011 
You know that Godzilla reboot we've been hearing about for the past year? The one that Legendary Pictures is producing? Well, according to Heat Vision, it finally has a director: Gareth Edwards. Though his name may not be known to many, he's been earning praise recently for his work on the low budget (like six-figure low budget) alien-invasion flick, Monsters. The film has won Edwards three British Independent Film Awards, including Best Director, Best Achievement in Production, and Best Technical Achievement. Legendary was so taken by this guy that they picked up the rights to his low-budget alien film while giving him the chance to bring one of the world's most famous monsters back to the big screen.
Edwards will begin work on the film immediately with a new screenwriter (David Callahan wrote the original script). A release date is set for some time in 2012 so this thing should be rolling before cameras by the end of the year.
Just to give an idea of what this guy is capable of, I embedded a trailer for Monsters below. Check it out and let us know what you think:
