Gareth Edwards was recently announced as the director of the rebooted Godzilla franchise, best known for recent movie Monsters. He talked with Shock Till You Drop about the movie:

“”I’m a big fan. 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. “

Gareth recalled his own fond memories of Godzilla:

“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.””

Godzilla is scheduled to be in theatres in 2012.
