Drew Pearce To Rewrite Legendary’s ‘Godzilla’

Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures announced recently that the highly anticipated Godzilla would be smashing it’s way into theaters May 16th, 2014. The Gareth Edwards (Monsters) directed film was first revealed at this years San Diego Comic-Con and the room exploded with excitement.

Variety is now reporting that screenwriter Drew Pearce has been hired to pen a final rewrite of the script. But it’s not because there’s anything wrong with the script. Reports are saying that there are actually no issues with the script. With casting expected to begin in four weeks, the last minute rewrite is to age the characters to match the actors that are being targeted for the film, which is actually a smart idea.

David Callaham (The Expendables), David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight) and Max Borenstein (The Seventh Son) can definitely expect a smart and action packed Godzilla flick. Pearce is also currently working on the script for a third Sherlock Holmes film for Warner Bros.
