In July, 2011, it was announced that David Goyer is the new writer for the Godzilla 2014 film in development by Legendary Pictures. Goyer replaced the original scriptwiter David Callahan who wrote the screenplays for "The Expendables" and "Doom". I think the change is good news for Godzilla fans. David Goyer's name might not be familiar, but he's a heavy hitter in Hollywood screenwriting. His resume includes the new "Ghost Rider"sequel, Zack Snyder's "Superman: Man of Steel", as well as all the Chris Nolan Batman movies including the upcoming "Dark Knight Rises.", which were also produced by Legendary. David Goyer's scripts help successfully re-boot the Batman franchise. These films were innovative, yet remained true to the original character. This is part of Legendary's style and was one of the main reasons Brian Rogers brought the Godzilla project to Legendary in the first place. We can hope that David Goyer can work the same magic for Godzilla as he did for Batman.
