A Godzilla/KISS crossover in a Canon commercial. Why? I don’t know. But the world needs to be informed. [x]
This week I’ll be focusing on Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, which was directed by Masaaki Tezuka, and originally released in Japan on the 3rd of November, 2000. Here’s the film’s Japanese theatrical poster.
Sony-Tristar originally had hoped to give Godzilla vs. Megaguirus a theatrical release in the US, but after Godzilla 2000 underperformed, the plans were scrapped, and the film went straight to TV and DVD.
- Animal Icons: It Came From Japan - An Animal Planet special produced in the runup to Godzilla’s fiftieth anniversary in 2004.
