Godzilla in 2012??

According to Variey, Legendary Pictures has gotten the Godzilla rights from TOHO.  If you recall, Sony made a crapy Godzilla film back in 1998, staring Mathew Brodrick.

"Though Legendary won't say so publicly, its execs are described as being particularly keen to avoid duplicating the look and feel of Sony's 1998 "Godzilla," a contempo update with state-of-the-art special effects centered on the chaos and destruction accompanying the monster's arrival in New York City."

The movie will be co-prodluced/co-financed with Warner Bros. and Legendary with be announcing the director soon.
