Well, its not much. But it is technically an interview.

Anything you can share about your next project? Here is your chance to go crazy!

"My next project is a reboot of Godzilla for Legendary Pictures and the folks behind the recent Batman trilogy. Our director is the young and enviably talented Gareth Edwards, whose vision for a fresh but faithful update of this beloved classic will – I feel safe in saying – kick major ass. Wish I could go crazy and tell you more, but I am pretty sure I would then be contractually obligated to be shot."

While not much its nice to finally hear from the writer Max. Love hearing him talk about Edwards vision for Godzilla makes me really excited for this! Im still not sure what the secrecy is but maybe what they have planned for this new franchise is huge?

Hopefully this will shut up the doom and gloom naysayers for a little bit

Interesting, and its a recent interview as well. Not a bad find there Tormentor, not bad at all.
This is our only interview from the writer, and probably will be the only one for a long time. Need more info!

I wonder why though they want to keep it so tightly under wraps?

Well PopInPics, if we go back to what Mr. Borenstein said, you're now contractually obligated to be shot. Good day :lol:

Just bring him back! I truly miss this character, he's been part of my life since the mid seventies when I first lad eyes on him. Not just him, but all of them big part of my youth eagerly excited for the monster week marathons was pure joy. I have all the Godzilla films on DVD including 1985 and Biollante. I drive my wife and kids nuts with collecting his toys and never taking him out of the packaging. Godzilla means alot to me because he represents a time in my life when everything made sense. I know I'm a mark but it is what it is.. Only the Japanese can truly bring him back as he should be. Not to keen on Legendary Pictures getting involved (visions of the Broderick movie still haunts me). Miss the big Guy..... Bring him back but do it RIGHT! (Sorry for rambling, but had to get that out)

With Pacific Rim and Monsterpocalypse in the works, they might be guarding against having their ideas hijacked, and simultaneously protecting themselves from being accused of the same. But yeah, it is refreshing to know that the silence means the project is being closely guarded instead of rotting in development hell.

There is work being done on this project, I'm pretty sure we can all be placated by this rather evident fact. Few projects in Hollywood just lay inactive for months. However, the real issue seems to concern forward momentum. Will a script be finalized this year? Honestly, at this point we just need a cast announced and a shooting schedule. Release dates most likely won't come for quiet some time.

That seems more like a assumption kind of date, or a date that they're trying to finish and release on time. No screeplay, or cast, that just tells you that they are most likely just grasping straws.

A release date for this film being announced this year is somewhat possible, just gotta hope that the script is completely done and approved if such a time comes.

(2012) I hope to hear an interview from the director and producers, just alitte something to the fans just to let them know that the film isn't "dead" but still living. Also any cast or potential release dates but that type of information will likely be in 2013 which i predict we will get more news.

I still want to see this movie happen, even if it's truly Godzilla's last. I don't want the franchise to end with a whimper, or a misfire like GFW.

Why? We have twenty-nine films already, most of which are crap anyway. Why taint Godzilla's legacy any further?
