From The Good The Bad And Godzilla
While Toho’s Visual Effects films have been run before on the Nihon Eiga Senmon Channel (Japanese Movie Specialty Channel), and this past spring and summer saw a countdown of every Godzilla title on the Satellite Cable station to usher in the domestic release of Gareth Edwards’ GODZILLA (2014), there was more amazing news dropped on their website this past Wednesday morning in Japan, that will be another great cause for kaiju eiga fans across the globe to rejoice.
For "Unearthed! Treasures of Visual Effects Collection," four films will be broadcast during the Big G’s 60th Anniversary — a cross section of Honda and Tsuburaya’s best, which isn't special in of itself, nor the premiere of new HD transfers, but rather that two of the films will be hailed as celebrations in of themselves. One of them, fans have been hoping on for decades, while the other is a completely mind-boggling surprising announcement, which I never saw coming.
Here’s the biggest news, first: According to the NESC website, some of the lost negative elements for the full-length theatrical version of KING KONG VS. GODZILLA (1962) have recently been discovered and have been given a HD makeover. There is no word on how, when or where the footage was discovered, but this is extremely good news since the missing footage had been previously sourced from a worn anamorphic 16mm roadshow print.

The Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival in Korea will have aspecial program for Godzilla's 60th Annivesary, The Great Kaiju, Godzilla 60 Years. I will feature program for the annivesary as well as showings of seven Godzilla films. The festival is from July17th to the 27th in Puchon, Kyounggido, Korea. Details from there site below and check out the full details here.The legend of the present, and way into the future, of the monster, Godzilla! It is no exaggeration that all western and eastern monster-characters are, in some way, influenced by the great Godzilla. The legendary monster is still alive today, and will, no doubt show up again – in a different guise perhaps – before too long in the future. To mark the 60th anniversary of Godzilla’s birthday, PiFan has organized a special exhibition called, ‘The Great Kaiju: Godzilla – 60 Years’ this year. From the original Godzilla of way back in 1954, which spawned the monster-movie genre, to Invasion of Astro Monster and Destroy All Monsters – which featured a showdown between Godzilla and King Ghidorah – to Godzilla vs. Hedorah, and Terror of Mechagodzilla. Then there was Godzilla vs. Biollante, cited as one of the most precious masterpieces among all 'Godzilla VS' series, leading ultimately to the all-star monster-movie: Godzilla: Final Wars. So, sit back and enjoy the greatest of the original monster-movies, in the Great Kaiju.
