Janus Films/Criterion have obtained the rights to nearly all the Showa era films (except King Kong Vs Godzilla, Godzilla Vs The Sea Monster, Godzilla Vs Hedorah, and Godzilla Vs Gigan) as well as Rodan and War Of The Garganuas (International Dubbed Version). The films have already hit the Starz cable network but could there be more to come. The place cards on Starz (which look like potential Blu-ray/DVD packaging) are all very similar with basic styling. So what does this all mean going forward. It is odd that they would go to Starz first rather than get a Blu-ray/DVD release first, Sony's Godzilla films were first released on video and since have shown up on multiple cable networks and services (Hulu, and Starz most recently). It is possible they are waiting on release of Legendary's Godzilla 2, and/or Godzilla Vs Kong to piggy back on their popularity, another possibility is waiting on Toho's 4K restorations to be completed (although that could be a while). Some rumors have suggested a box set which could be nice if it was the complete Showa era. The big question is will fans get these if they are released most fans more than likely have most of them and wouldn't probably get them unless there was some added bonus. Hopefully we will get more info soon on the potential releases. (Note: some info here is from various posts from Facebook and the web (like August Ragone and others).
