Author: Andrew Nguyen From August 10-30, the Hashimoto Contemporary served as the site of an art exhibit in honor of the Godzilla series' 70th anniversary, hosted by Spoke Art and Ghost X Ghost along with the support of Toho Studios. Titled "70 years of Godzilla," the exhibit contains officially licensed art pieces from 40 artists with a variety of different styles presented. Several of the art pieces were created by well-known artists that have previously worked on Godzilla related merchandise. The opening ceremony was on August 10 and on the day before the opening of the exhibit, the two companies hosted a screening of the original GODZILLA (1954) at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. The art exhibition will gradually release copies of the pieces presented in the exhibit with the last of them being made available

    Interviews, Never-Before-Seen Photos, Storyboards, and Production Art from Sony Pictures` Abandoned First Attempt Author: Keith Aiken Special Thanks to: Please See ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Below A SCIFI JAPAN EXCLUSIVE On May 16, 2014, Warner Bros. Pictures released GODZILLA, a $160 million American adaptation of the long-running Toho Co. franchise. Co-produced by Legendary Pictures and directed by Gareth Edwards, the film finally gave many fans what they had long hoped to see... a big-budget, Hollywood take on the King of the Monsters with state-of-the-art visual effects. Well-received by critics and audiences, the new GODZILLA was a box office success, with a sequel announced for 2018. The generally positive reviews for the 2014 film were a sharp contrast to the reception given the first Godzilla movie made by an American studio. In October 1992, TriStar Pictures (a subsidiary of Sony Pictures Entertainment) announced that they

TM & ©TOHO CO., LTD. The Criterion Collection has announced that Akira Kurosawa's SEVEN SAMURAI (七人の侍, Shichinin no Samurai,1954), one of the most thrilling warrior epics of all time, will be released November 12th in a 3-disc 4K UHD + Blu-ray set. The previously released two disc Blu-ray and three disc DVD editions are also available for purchase. SEVEN SAMURAI tells the story of a sixteenth-century village whose desperate inhabitants hire the eponymous warriors to protect them from invading bandits. This three-hour-plus ride from Akira Kurosawa—featuring legendary actors Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura—seamlessly weaves philosophy and entertainment, delicate human emotions and relentless action, into a rich, evocative, and unforgettable tale of courage and hope. 1954

The previously released single disc Blu-ray and two disc DVD editions are also available for purchase. GODZILLA is the roaring granddaddy of all monster movies. It’s also a remarkably humane and melancholy drama, made in Japan at a time when the country was reeling from nuclear attack and H-bomb testing in the Pacific. Its rampaging radioactive beast, the poignant embodiment of an entire population’s fears, became a beloved international icon of destruction, spawning more than thirty sequels. A thrilling, tactile spectacle that

From his origin as a symbol of the atomic menace, through his years as a colossal defender of the Earth, to modern incarnations that continue to reimagine his identity, Godzilla has proven to be a remarkably malleable cinematic icon, his image as indestructible as the monster himself.
