The first Godzilla film was released in 1954 and was quickly adapted by an American company into Godzilla, King of the Monsters.  The latest Godzilla film was Godzilla: Final Wars which played in theaters in 2004.

Update: 1/18/13 – It has been reported that Dan Lin and Roy Lee departed the project. Officially the exit was due to time constraints but according to The Hollywood Reporter, the pair left over creative and financial differences with Legendary Pictures (Legendary wanted the pair to reduce their fees for the film), and Legendary was buying out their producer contracts. The next day it was reported that Frank Darabont was added to work on the film script and Mary Parent would join the project as a producer.
