We don't really know a whole lot about Gareth Edwards' Godzilla reboot, but some new details allegedly leaked from a marketing meeting reveal quite a bit about the premise.

Quote:

"The film will feature more than one monster, confirming that two new monsters will also be wreaking havoc - this in addition to the big green guy.

Warner Bros. made it clear that their interpretation of the material "follows the story of a solider" and is 'way different' than the Toho Godzilla films."

More details will undoubtedly follow.

Legendary Pictures, the production company behind the latest American Godzilla reboot, fired two of the movie's original producers. Those producers, it turns out, saw things differently, and things have spiraled into legal action that could put the future of the flick in jeopardy.

Quote:

Basically, the legal dispute is this: Legendary claims that they made an agreement back in March 2011 with Lin and Lee's respective production companies. The agreement allegedly said that Legendary could choose not to involve the producers if they were not "deemed to be engaged" in the film's production. According to Legendary, Lee, Lin and Davison were not engaged beyond the initial stages of the film's development.

Quote:

"Defendants efforts on the project consisted only of introducing a screenwriter to Legendary and contributing notes to a screenplay which Legendary subsequently decided to not utilize," the lawsuit states. "Legendary judged that Defendants offered little to the ongoing production of the film, and that their likely role (if engaged) would not warrant the substantial fees and backend compensation that they could potentially earn as producers."

Legendary is hoping they can get out of the dispute with, "at most," a $25,000 development fee for Lin, Lee and Davison, and petitioned a California court to send the case to honor that 2011 agreement.

Could get ugly.

Kick-Ass star may kick Godzilla's ass in troubled reboot.

Quote:

Aaron Johnson, best known as the title star of the cult fave Kick-Ass, is rumored to be up for the starring role in Godzilla. His involvement is reportedly contingent on the final version of the script.

I'm not really crazy about Johnson's acting. In other words, he would fit in perfectly in a Godzilla movie. I like it.

The latest development in Godzilla legal battle? ANOTHER LAWSUIT

Quote:

Producers Roy Lee, Dan Lin and Doug Davison today launched their own lawsuit in the escalating legal war over the Godzilla reboot. The duo filed a suit against Legendary Pictures in LA Superior Court on Thursday, with the cross complaint alleging breach of contract among other counts (read it here). Seeking a jury trial and millions in damages, this latest legal action also names fellow Godzilla producer and Legendary President/CCO Jon Jashni as a defendant. Legendary’s Chairman and CEO Thomas Tull was not named in the suit. Today’s action comes in response to Legendary’s suit earlier this month to have Lee and Lin and fellow producer Davison removed from the movie with a $25,000 payout. An action that today’s cross complaint says came about only because the trio of producers were going to assert their claims to a project that that they say they brought to Legendary and that they developed.

This can't end well for this film.
