Gareth Edwards, who wrote and directed indie sci-fi movie Monsters, is close to signing a deal to develop and direct Godzilla for Legendary Pictures (Inception, The Dark Knight).
Legendary picked up the rights to Toho Co.'s famous giant lizard in March 2010. It was around that time that Edwards� Monsters made its premiere at SXSW (where WME quickly signed him for representation) before moving on to the Toronto International Film Festival and a U.S. release by Magnet Releasing in October.
Since Monsters, Edwards� has won three British Independent Film Awards including nods for "best director," "best achievement in production" and "best technical achievement". It also landed him work with Timur Bekmambetov on a secret sci-fi project that he is writing as a directing vehicle.

Monsters was more of a human drama in a PA setting with romantic overtone than an usual sci-fi/monster feature. Monsters in the Monsters rarely get seen in the screen but overall it was pretty well made according to the budget, but still...if G. Edwards get the project to direct then will we get the chance to see some live Godzilla actions properly in the screen this time? If he tries to give it a realistic look then the fun would be ruined I guess.
