"Monsters director Gareth Edwards has signed up to helm the Godzilla reboot. British filmmaker Edwards will team up with a new screenwriter to redraft David Callaham&amp;#039;s original script. Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures, who secured the Godzilla rights from Japanese firm Toho Co in March 2010, will co-produce and co-finance the blockbuster. The iconic screen monster first appeared in 1954&amp;#039;s Godzilla and has since starred in more than 20 films. Independence Day director Roland Emmerich mounted a big budget Hollywood version in 1998, but the movie opened to bad reviews and no sequel was made. Edwards is also working on an untitled science fiction project with Wanted&amp;#039;s Timur Bekmambetov. &amp;gt; Click here to watch our recent interview with Gareth Edwards "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
