After the announcement that Monsters director, Gareth Edwards, an independent sci-fi flick was chosen by Legendary Pictures as the man who will direct the Godzilla reboot, may wondered what can this guy can do since Godzilla will be his second film.
And so, on an Exclusive interview made by Shock Till You Drop about the said director gives us answers about the running question about his capabilities and if he can do justice to Toho's legendary movie monster. Here's the excerpt of the said interview:
"I'm a big fan," Edwards tells Shock, palpably choosing his words wisely when it comes to talking about his latest endeavor. "I guess I will say I'm highly aware - and everyone involved is incredibly aware - of everyone's opinions on what this film has to do and what it has to be. And no one will do anything but the right thing. Without addressing anything specific, everyone knows how important is to get it right."
He can't talk about the scripting process (he did reveal he's not writing the film), however, he recalls his introduction to the long-running franchise. "My earliest memories was channel 4, they showed them every Friday night. As a kid I wasn't quite sure about the dubbing, the English-dubbed versions. They threw me for a bit. I love science fiction and, well I call them B movies but they're not, but I love '60s and '70s sci-fi. But these would come on and be dubbed and it would take my kid brain to adjust to the dubbing. It took me some time to get through that."
Based on this interview, I have high hopes that this film will work and hopefully, it would not end up like that OTHER Godzilla film. You know what I am talking about!
Godzilla will be released on 2012.
