London:
Guillermo del Toro, who walked off the directorial duties of The Hobbit because of delays, is in talks to helm a new version of Godzilla.
The new version of the Japanese story about a sea monster ready to destroy a city is being written by Travis Beacham of 'Clash of the Titans' fame.
Entitled 'Pacific Rim', the film's story sees the earth threatened by a group of "malevolent creatures", Contactmusic reported.
However, there is a small hitch. Guillermo is currently working on horror film Mountains of Madness, which may prevent him from signing on to the project, which is due for release in 2012.
He is currently set to work on a number of films as executive producer, including Kung Fu Panda 2 and Puss in Boots, and he also has a writing credit in the currently-troubled Hobbit.
The Mexican director is also working on a brand new version of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
