Godzilla Remake Gets New Screenwriter

The Godzilla remake that has been in production by Legendary Pictures has landed a new screenwriter, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Max Borenstein has been tapped to write the second American remake of Godzilla, which Legendary has long promised would finally do justice to Japan's King of the Monsters after Roland Emmerich butchered the beast in his failed 1998 big-budget blockbuster.

Bornstein joins Gareth Edwards (director of the fabulous indie-film Monsters) who was recently announced as the director for Godzilla's second -- and hopefully more faithful -- second American outing.

Will the new Godzilla breathe atomic life back into the monster for American audiences? I hope so.
