Gamera trailer

There's a new trailer for Gamera: Little Braves. It looks good. It's totally different in tone from the early '90s films and picks up the idea of a defender of children from the '60s series. I'm hoping this will be excellent.

Negadon Web site

If you haven't checked out the Negadon Attacks Web site yet, go do it. It's got a new trailer for the film and a personal message from director/creator Jun Awazu. It looks like they are trying to add more features to the site. I hope we learn more about the DVD, which will be released "Summer 2006", sometime soon. Considering this is a short film, how are they going to pad out the disc? Or are they going to sell it at a cheaper price point? Regardless, I'm looking forward to seeing a new film from a real kaiju fan.

Original Gojira DVD announced

According to ScifiJapan, Classic Media has announced it will release a Godzilla 2-pack DVD of the original Gojira with the Raymond Burr version. This is good news. It will be released in September.

There is talk of adding extras to the DVD. I hope they do, because I am still seriously considering buying the BFI version of Godzilla from the UK. But I will wait to see how Classic Media handles this. Cross your fingers G fans and hope for the best.

SciFi Japan

There's a new site on the Web that I think my readers would be very interested in: SciFi Japan. It purports to offer complete coverage of Japanese SF films. It's staff, which includes experts such as Ed Godziszewski, Richard Pusateri and Steve Ryfle among many others. I'm looking forward to what this site will have to offer.
