Drew Pearce is making some kaiju sized footprints in Hollywood franchises these days. He's on board for the third Iron Man movie, the third Robert Downey Jr Sherlock Holmes movie, and now he's hired for a revised script for the new American Godzilla reboot. David Callahan (The Expendables), David S. Goyer (Dark Knight) and Max Borenstein (The Seventh Son) scripted earlier versions.
According to Variety, the polish isn't being done because
studio Legendary Pictures has any major problems with the script; it
wants to age up the characters so that they fit the prototype of the
actors they would like to target. Sources also told Variety that Pearce is now being brought in to do a four-week polish on the script. Casting is expected to begin soon.
