From slashfilm, Legendary Pictures has finally found a director for their American Godzilla movie, British filmmaker Gareth Edwards who shot to fame in 2010 with his feature film debut Monsters. HeatVision reports that Edwards is closing on a deal to develop and direct the creature feature for the production company behind the Nolan-directed Batman films, 300, Superman Returns, Watchmen, Clash of the Titans, Sucker Punch and The Hangover. As with any film the produce, Warner Bros. will co-produce, co-finance and distribute the film.

I'm intrigued by this. I netflixed Monsters although it's not out until February 1.
I predicted a boom in giant monster flicks if 1998's Godzilla was successful. It wasn't, and there was no boom, but I think Cloverfield reset the clock. Note that the article mentions Tim Burton is working on something called Monsterpocalypse.
I find it funny that they're calling Edwards "the next Neill Blomkamp." Christ, NP's only made one movie, can't he just be him for a little while longer?
