Interesting news is being reported on the Godzilla front today. After hearing this weekend that Godzilla would begin production in March, it is now being reported that Frank Darabont has been hired to rewrite the script.
Frank Darabont's name should be no stranger to horror fans, having spearheaded The Walking Dead TV series for the first season and half of season two. His last feature work was on The Mist back on 2007, and he's been involved in genre projects for most of his professional career.
Unfortunately, there are no details on what changes Darabont was hired to make, but Legendary Pictures tapping into some of what made The Walking Dead great is not a bad route to go, considering they want this to be a more realistic take on Godzilla. Previously, the script had been worked on by Max Borenstein, David Callahan, and David Goyer.
This hire was revealed along with a number of behind-the-scenes changes regarding what producers are being attached to the project. There's no word on if any of this will alter production plans, but we'll be sure to update this story with more details when they become available.
