Godzilla's march across the Marvel Universe begins next month. Throughout six groundbreaking one-shots, the King of Monsters will face off against iconic Marvel superheroes in battles set during different periods of both Godzilla and Marvel Comics history.

Following a Silver Age bout with Marvel's First Family, an Earth-trembling '70s slugfest with The Hulk, and a pulse-pounding encounter with a Black-suited Spider-Man, Godzilla catches the attention of mutantkind in the pages of Godzilla vs. X-Men #1.

Arriving in May, Godzilla vs. X-Men takes place during the team's '90s heyday and will be written by one of that era's key creators, Fabian Nicieza, known for his iconic runs on X-Men and X-Force. Joined by acclaimed artist Emilio Laiso, Nicieza returns to a time when everyone wanted a piece of Marvel's merry mutants...even Godzilla!

Here's the official description for this upcoming one-shot:

Round Four: Vs. The Uncanny X-men! When a...

Godzilla is a horror icon and has been for more than seventy years. Since its first appearance, the King of Monsters has lumbered its way through various cities around the world in many unique and different designs. Becoming Godzilla, a site dedicated to crafting Godzilla costumes based on every iteration, lists all thirty unique costume designs by year, and Wikizilla includes entries for each design, including versions that never saw the screen.

By looking at each design, one can start to see which ones emerged as the coolest of their era, moving the public's shared memory of Godzilla in different directions. Godzilla started as a basic movie monster and has grown into an environmental statement, and each of Godzilla's coolest designs left marks that led to the monster fans know and love today.

Godzilla (Gojira), the beloved fictional movie monster, is a favorite among viewers. Since 1954, Godzilla has been wreaking havoc on screens, terrifying and delighting audiences. The genesis of this creature can be traced back to something profoundly serious and devastating: thermonuclear weapons and the tangible threats they pose to humanity.

The first instalment in the series was “Godzilla” (1954), directed by Ishirō Honda and produced by Toho Studios. Going beyond a simple horror/monster movie, it drew inspiration from a real-life event involving the ‘Lucky Dragon No. 5' (Daigo Fukuryū Maru) tuna fishing boat. This vessel was navigating in waters near the Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands, not far from the area where the American military had chosen to conduct a test of a hydrogen bomb (a thermonuclear device). The United States government had predicted that the area would be safe, but the power...

The original Japanese version of Ishiro Honda's kaiju classic "Gojira" -- previously bowdlerized by American translators as "Godzilla" -- wasn't released in American theaters until 2004 to coincide with the film's 50th anniversary. Up until then, American audiences had to content themselves with the 1956 film "Godzilla, King of the Monsters!," a heavily re-edited version of "Gojira" that included new scenes of actor Raymond Burr narrating the action. The footage was directed by Terry O. Morse.

When "Gojira" was finally released in 2004, not every critic was pleased. Most audiences accepted that Honda's film more or less birthed the kaiju genre, and established a persistent pop culture icon that persists to this day. Roger Ebert acknowledged that "Gojira" could be significant while also being completely shabby. He gave the film only one and a half stars, saying it was "idiotic." "Godzilla at times looks uncannily like a man in a lizard suit,...

The highest grossing director of all time, Steven Spielberg enjoys high-brow classics as much as crowd-pleasing blockbusters. Known for “Jurassic Park,” “Indiana Jones,” “Jaws,” “West Side Story” (2021), and more favorites, the beloved American filmmaker premiered his semi-autobiographical “The Fabelmans” in theaters last November.

The movie, nominated for seven Oscars (winning none), tells the story of how Spielberg came to be Spielberg — chiefly through the lens of his parents’ traumatic divorce. Boasting a cast that includes not just Michelle Williams and Paul Dano as Spielberg’s mom and dad, but also David Lynch in a rare acting opportunity, “The Fabelmans” was described by IndieWire’s David Ehrlich as an epic rendering of “the breakup that launched a million blockbusters.”

Following the contemplative mood of two-ish years in Covid-19 lockdown, the 2022 fall film season was chockfull of projects meditating on the role — and, in the case of “TÁR,” responsibility — of artists. How...

Halloween filmmaker John Carpenter will host a Godzilla Day marathon on Shout! TV. The Masters of Monsters marathon will feature eight hours of curated creature content by Carpenter, starting at noon Pdt on November 3. In addition to Shout! TV's marathon, TokuSHOUTsu and Pluto TV will also be offering kaiju content to celebrate Godzilla Day. Pluto TV will have a 24-hour Godzilla marathon on its own dedicated channel.

Can’t get enough Giant Monster movies this Halloween? Well, fear not because Halloween filmmaker John Carpenter is keeping the spooky season alive after All Hallows’ Eve has come and gone. The director responsible for bringing a new “Shape” to horror will host a marathon dedicated to Godzilla Day on Shout! TV. Check out the promo for the Masters of Monsters event below:

The John Carpenter-led Masters of Monsters Godzilla marathon originally debuted in 2022, and its encore will start streaming at noon Pdt and run until 8 p.

U.S. audiences tend to accept Toho's earlier Godzilla movies as being high camp, usually thanks to Gen-x's half-remembered airings of late-'60s kaiju flicks broadcast on Uhf TV channels back in the 1980s. While there are some absurd and terrible Godzilla films from the Showa era (1954-1975), and many of them contained surreal, kitschy plot elements like invading aliens, one might also find several movies -- "Gojira," "Destroy All Monsters" -- that focus on Japanese national pride, the role of destructive weapons in the world, and a barely-simmering resentment lingering after a massive attack on the country. If modern superhero movies sprung from the U.S. subconscious as a fantastical revenge/preventative measure against 9/11, so too did Godzilla spring fully formed from the trauma left behind by the U.S.' atomic bomb attacks.

In the original "Gojira," that is literal. The titular creature, a stories-high amphibious animal,...

Giant ants! Gargantuan tarantulas! Colossal radioactive women! In 1945, the first nuclear bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ending World War II and ushering in the Atomic Age. Americans' fears shifted from the threat of communism to the threat of nuclear annihilation. Families began building bomb shelters in their backyards while school children participated in "duck and cover" drills. Hollywood, never missing an opportunity to exploit the public's greatest panics and anxieties, began churning out nuclear annihilation-themed movies. Some of them were serious pictures with somber themes, like 1959's On the Beach and 1964's Fail Safe. Some were biting satires like 1964's Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Most, however, were low budget schlock fests, produced on the cheap and churned out as B-sides of movie house double features. The plots followed the same basic structure - a nuclear blast or radioactive meteor...

The El Rey Network, the closest thing millennials have to a low power Uhf station, will be running its third annual “Kaiju Christmas” marathon, featuring over 96 hours of the one, the only, Godzilla. The whole thing kicks off Friday, December 23 with the original classic Gorjira (without Raymond Burr), and will wrap up on December 26 with Gigantis, The Fire Monster—er, Godzilla Raids Again.

The marathon features films from multiple eras of the King Of Monsters, including the darkest film from the Showa series, Terror Of Mechagodzilla, 1989’s Godzilla Vs. Biolante, the second film in the Hesai series, and Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S from Toho, which fits in the continuity of the 1954 original. Thankfully, the only appearance of the Tri-Star ’Zilla is when he gets his reptilian ass handed to him by the original Godzilla in 2004’s Godzilla: Final Wars, the last film in ...

“I can’t believe that Godzilla was the only surviving member of its species… But if we continue conducting nuclear tests, it’s possible that another Godzilla might appear somewhere in the world again!”

The original Japanese Godzilla from 1954 is a historical classic. While it may seem a little hokey when considering contemporary special effects capabilities, the film nonetheless seems to rectify the dated destruction scenes with realistic, dramatic, and depressing aftermath scenes where orphaned children are crying, families are destroyed, and lives are lost as a result of the ‘Big G’s’ destructive wake. When analyzing the monster’s destructive capabilities it’s important to remember that Godzilla was produced at a time when the after-effects of the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were still remnant in the Japanese psyche and Western society at large with the looming Cold War and the possibility of a nuclear holocaust. Godzilla...

At the beginning of (and throughout) every month, Netflix Streaming adds new movies and TV shows to its library. Here is a quick list of several that you might be interested in. Some of these were added halfway through or near the end of April, but we're going to include them in this roundup anyway, since you may have missed them. Some may also have previously been on Netflix, only to have been removed and then added back. Feel free to note anything we've left out in the comments below.Godzilla vs. MothraJust in time for Hollywood's latest stab at the King of Monsters, many of Toho Company's “Shōwa”-era Godzilla movies, from the defining 1954–75 run, are now available for your binge-watching preparation. Those looking for the reptilian behemoth in his purest, most metaphorical form should turn to Godzilla: King of Monsters, the Americanized version (now with more Raymond Burr!

The 1949 music-filled comedy Love Happy was the final film starring the legendary Marx Brothers (Duck Soup, Animal Crackers).

In the film, Harpo Marx is a true patron of the arts, taking from the rich to help feed a group of poor actors struggling to open a new musical without financial backers. He unknowingly makes off with the missing Romanoff diamonds when he shoplifts a tin of sardines from a classy Manhattan market. The diamonds have been smuggled into the country by a sinful yet sizzlingly beautiful jewel thief, Madame Egelichi (Ilona Massey). The Madame traces the tin back to the theater and becomes the show’s financial backer. Hoping to recover the missing diamonds, she and her henchmen nearly bring the whole house down in a madcap race to retrieve the jewels on opening night.

In addition to Harpo,...

Six decades, countless sequels, two remakes and god knows how many imitators, Toho's movie monster "Godzilla" has cemented itself in legend.

Now, to celebrate the film's 60th anniversary, Rialto Pictures is re-releasing the original film under the moniker "Godzilla: The Japanese Original".

The 1956 western release version of the movie, "Godzilla, King of the Monsters," was dubbed and heavily re-edited with American actor Raymond Burr inserted into the action.

Ultimately, only an hour was used of the original Japanese film's 98 minute running time. Boasting a new restoration, this re-release will be of the uncut original Japanese film which boasted both darker themes and dark comedy.

The monster classic will debut April 12th at the fifth TCM Classic Film Festival in Hollywood, followed by a national release starting at New York's Film Forum from April 18th-24th.

Gareth Edwards’ debut film Monsters was a labor of love – a quiet little character study that happened to be set against the backdrop of an alien invasion. But four years and hundreds of millions of dollars later, that personal filmmaker is tackling the King of All Monsters – Godzilla, who’s set for a big-screen reboot featuring Bryan Cranston, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen. Retaining that intimacy and that personality is, of course, the film’s biggest challenge, but evidenced by the footage Warner Brothers premiered in Hall H at Comic-Con, Edwards has made great efforts to do just that.

Following the film’s panel, Edwards, Cranston, Taylor-Johnson and Olsen sat down with press at the nearby Bayfront Hotel for a longer and more in-depth discussion about the process of reviving Godzilla. In addition to talking about the character’s origins, and the challenge of preserving them while updating him for modern audiences,...

Part of me feels bad for human actors who are cast in the latest Godzilla movies. Unless your name happens to be Raymond Burr, chances are you won.t be able to emerge from the long shadow cast by the massive reptilian lead character, because you know audience members are grabbing a ticket to see Godzilla, and not them. Happy-Go-Lucky star Sally Hawkins will be the next actress to try and steal screen time away from the radioactive creature in Legendary and Warner Bros.. new Godzilla reboot, Deadline reports. Directed by Gareth Edwards (Monsters), the new Godzilla began filming a few weeks back, and already stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass), Ken Watanabe, Elizabeth Olsen, the brilliant Bryan Cranston and Juliette Binoche. That.s an amazing cast for what some might dismiss as a simple monster movie. Hawkins, meanwhile, joins the ensemble as a scientist, though details beyond that are scarce.

What once was old is new again! Even old stuff that you probably only sort of remember, which is why we are being bombarded with a reformatted “Red Dawn,” a vaguely apocalyptic action thriller full of hot young actors (among them, Asgard's protector Chris Hemsworth, Hunger Gamer Josh Hutcherson and Nickelodeon superstar Josh Peck) who were probably too young to remember the original. Well, no matter. The teens need something to watch now that the glittery vampire luster of “Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 2” has faded. Now, the real question is: will you, hard-working moviegoer, want to pluck down for the new “Red Dawn” or is it something you'd rather just let fade into the sunset? Read on to find out! Con: It's a Completely Unnecessary Remake The original “Red Dawn,” released in 1984, is little more than a Reagan-era curio, one whose longevity has been assured, not because of some cult status or critical reevaluation,...

In less than two years time, movie monster Godzilla will kick off the Summer moviegoing season on May 16, 2014. Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures made the announcement today about the classic franchise. As par for a big tent pole film like this, expect to don those glasses. Godzilla stomps to the silver screen in nothing less than 3D.

Have a look at the iconic big guy in action below. In the new film, the partnering studios will return the character to its epic roots with a gritty, realistic actioner.

Godzilla is under the direction of Gareth Edwards, who earned worldwide acclaim for his feature directorial debut, .Monsters.. Edwards directs from a screenplay by David Callaham (.The Expendables. films), David S. Goyer (the .Dark Knight. trilogy) and Max Borenstein (upcoming .The Seventh Son.).

John Carpenter Interviewed by Michael Juvinall, MoreHorror.com

When you talk about film directors in the horror genre, very few names can be mentioned as being “masters” of their craft, it’s a short list which includes the likes of, Romero, Argento, Craven, Bava, Hitchcock, Fisher, Cronenberg, Whale, and my favorite John Carpenter. Carpenter single-handedly reinvented the slasher genre with his seminally groundbreaking film, ‘Halloween’. At one point, ‘Halloween’ was the most successful independent film of all-time.

‘Halloween’ influenced every slasher film that came after it. Without “Michael Myers” we wouldn’t have ‘Friday the 13th’, or any of the other masked killers that came afterwards. Not only was ‘Halloween’ a highly influential film, it was truly frightening, even to this day it scares audiences worldwide. John Carpenter’s career has spanned over 40 years in Hollywood and has directed 30 films.

He has directed such cult classics as ‘The Fog’, ‘Assault on Precinct 13...

When I was a child, I loved the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers; I can fully say this statement without hyperbole. And I wasn’t the only one; Power Rangers saturation overloaded the pop culture lexicon. Kids everywhere dressed up for Halloween as their favorite Ranger. Celebrities as famous as Mike Myers, Gene Simmons and Jean Claude – Van Damme visited the set. It was mania, pure unfiltered mania. But, like many of my youthful cohorts, I grew up and moved on. But I never forgot the invigorating feeling I got from watching Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and when I cracked open Shout Factory’s new DVD of the first half of season one of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, I instantly got transported back to 1993 when the series premiered.

If you don’t know or aren’t aware of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, allow me to describe the show for you (and...

Can Legendary Pictures remake Godzilla in a way that Toho Pictures originally intended many decades back? Their resume is good, but it has been a mixed bag of hits and misses. During San Diego Comic-Con '12, they have released a telling teaser poster and a trailer. Both of which may pay tribute to what the Japanese vision is. In a poster that spells out the name of the beast in Japanese (ゴジラ) and placed behind the American spelling, maybe not. The kanji are painted in muted red. The poster design is also familiar. Just look at the DVD Steel Book release of Akira Special Edition by Pioneer. The layout is different but the steel font is very much the same. The Japanese text is placed in front of Akira, and with Gojira, it's pushed back, making for a nuance to tell viewers which interpretation takes precedence. Ever since 1954, the vision...

While absolutely no one was sneaky enough to nab the whole trailer, one fan was able to snap a picture of the Godzilla reveal from the trailer shown at the San Diego Comic-Con. Read on for the trailer description along with a video of the panel.

Trailer Description

A city decimated. Completely destroyed. The camera pans by the wreckage of a train, A distant voice is heard giving a speech about the dangers of atomic weapons from J. Robert Oppenheimer. Dust everywhere. Cars crushed. Holes in skyscrapers.

We then see a giant centipede-like creature with many arms and legs smoldering. (You know what that means? Monster battles!) The city appears dead as a doornail. Then blackness. The Roar. As in The roar. Huge bass drop. Raymond Burr finishes his famous speech. Dust...then an arm... a hand... with claws. Pan up... holy shit... the fins. The head. Godzilla. As we know him.

The moment you have been waiting for has arrived. The teaser trailer for Legendary Pictures' Godzilla has made its debut in Hall H, and we've got a full description of what was shown. Without further ado...

A city decimated. Completely destroyed. The camera pans by the wreckage of a train, A distant voice is heard reading from the Book of Revelations. The voice sounds very familair. Dust everywhere. Cars crushed. Holes in skyscrapers.

It becomes obvious that the voice belongs to Raymond Burr from the original. We then see a giant centipede-like creature with many arms and legs smoldering. (You know what that means? Monster battles!) The city appears dead as a doornail. Then blackness. The Roar. As in The roar. Huge bass drop. Raymond Burr finishes his famous speech. Dust...then an arm... a hand... with claws. Pan up... holy shit... the fins. The head. Godzilla. As we know him.

Robert Downey Jr. will soon be his own lawyer.

The "Due Date" star has slammed evil as a superhero in "Iron Man" and investigated dastardly deeds as a detective in "Sherlock Holmes." Now he'll fight crime in the courtroom as the new incarnation of the famous lawyer character, Perry Mason, according to Variety.

Warner Bros. and Team Downey are teaming to relaunch the "Perry Mason" franchise as a feature film, with Downey Jr. looking to play the title defense attorney role.

The new "Perry Mason," like the original novels by Erie Stanley Gardner, will take place in 1930s Los Angeles and will feature such fan favorites as Mason's secretary, Della Street, private investigator Paul Drake and Mason's longtime courtroom nemesis, Hamilton Burger.

Gardner's 82 "Perry Mason" novels and dozens of short stories have been published in 37 languages worldwide. At the height of his popularity, Gardner sold something like 26,000 "Mason" novels per day.

Y2K hysteria and vicious hillbillies. They go together almost as well as peanut butter and jelly, right? At least that's what director Kenneth Cran is hoping with his latest flick, The Millennium Bug, slated to screen during the 2011 Shriekfest Film Festival in Los Angeles on Friday, September 30th at 10:15 pm at Raleigh Studios (5300 Melrose Avenue, Hollywood).

In The Millennium Bug the normal, "everyday" Haskin family must seek refuge from Y2K hysteria in the isolated forests of the Sierra Diablos Mountains, only to have both madness and terror find them hiding there. Abducted by the vicious Crawford hillbilly clan, the Haskins fight for survival, but neither they nor their abductors can comprehend the monstrous nightmare about to erupt from the bowels of the earth.

Recently Dread Central checked in with Kenneth Cran, the up-and-coming director of The Millennium Bug, and talked with him about the real-life Y2K phenomena that inspired his script,...

It was recently made known that Criterion was working on a new Blu-ray/DVD release of Gojira (1954), but there have been some very exciting developments regarding the Us version titled Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956). A rare unedited print of the Us version has been found and should be included with Gojira on the Criterion release.

From August Ragone, via Twitch: “Yesterday, I posted the fantastic news that the Criterion Collection had slyly announced, with a simple photo, that they will be prepping a DVD/Bd release of the original Japanese version of Godzilla aka Gojira (1954), and while, it seems, that Honda’s seminal film will be getting a much-needed restoration, some have been asking if the corresponding Us version helmed by Terry O. Morse, Godzilla, King Of The Monsters! (1956), starring Raymond Burr, will be included in this release. Previous home video releases of this film — and all versions screened on television,...

You see now, news like this? You cannot imagine how happy it makes us to share it with you. For years the Criterion Collection has been the gold standard in home video releases. The true mark of excellence. Now not only is Godzilla getting the royal Criterion treatment, but a rare print has been discovered that will be the icing on the cake!

Randy grabs a glass and gets down with Godzilla!

If Godzilla, King of Monsters doesn’t put you in the mood to drink some wine, I can’t say I blame you. Sake, maybe. A special Jolt Cola/Espresso/Red Bull blend, definitely. But we don’t think of wine as a beverage that puts us in the mood to destroy major cities – not good wine, anyway.

The motif of monsters – particularly Godzilla – runs fairly deep in wine culture, though.

I picked up the scent of a Napa Valley wine called Cabzilla, which appeared briefly in 2002. It didn’t take long for the people who own the rights to Godzilla to step in and trash that copyright infringement in good ol’ Godzilla fashion, except without the firebreathing.

There’s the TV ad for yellowtail Chardonnay, in which Godzilla stars. He sports a yellow tail, which is apparently where the connection ends.

From the pages of Deep Red in 1986, Joe Dante interviews a real monster’s monster.

It was 1986 and Godzilla had just made a comeback picture called Godzilla 85: The Legend Reborn.

He didn’t usually give interviews, due to his speech impediment, but the lure of a few drinks with an old pal (I directed him in my first picture, Hollywood Boulevard) got him to open up. I wouldn’t say he was bitter, exactly, but he’d been though a lot. I have no idea what he’s up to today, but I ran across this interview while cleaning out the garage, so here’s where his head was at 25 years ago…

I met with Godzilla at a Ginza sushi bar on a recent visit to Japan. Although in seemingly good health, he pretended not to remember me as the director of his only American picture of the past 30 years,...

Assuming you have a humongous front door or outstanding insurance, Thursdays in June will be good night to pull your car into the living room, park it in front of your flatscreen, turn the channel to TCM, and try to relive the golden age of drive-in monster movies as TCM is loading its schedule this month with nothing but classic old school monster movies.

As if Turner Classic Movies wasn't already a fantastic channel as is (they're airing the 1977 Jaws with claws cult classic Grizzly this Friday at 2:00 Am Et), every Thursday in June they'll be running all-night Atomic Age monster movie marathons. From Godzilla to Harryhausen, from classics like The Thing from Another World to not-so-classics like Creature from the Haunted Sea to bad movie greatness like The Giant Claw... Here's TCM's own press release:

It came from the drive-in! The al fresco movie theater, a rage of the 1950s and '60s,...

There really is nothing more intoxicating than living as a horror fan and being surrounded by monsters and madmen, as witnessed by the 3rd Annual Monsterpalooza in Burbank, California.

When you scrape away the death obsessed subtext and technicalities of the process, watching and loving horror films should be just plain fun, exhilarating fun, a complete escape into another parallel world that echoes our own. If it's not, if you find yourself labouring to find that simple joyous eye of the proverbial needle, well then, perhaps you should just give up the pursuit of terror geekdome altogether.

For me, speaking as someone who was literally born into a world where the people that done made me loved dark movies and weird entertainments and fully endorsed my obsessions with my growing "id", horror films will forever be tied to the sweetest moments of my youth. From those secret late night, school night, TV movie binges to sneaking into R rated films after buying PG tickets, horror was my first rebellion against the mainstream so embraced by my peers and the...

Godzilla is capable of firing a blue ray so it only figures his movies should also be released on Blu-ray (This pun works better when spoken). The King of the Monsters will finally stomp his way onto Blu-ray DVD on September 22nd when the original Japanese masterpiece gets the Blu-ray treatment.

Fangoria got the scoop and first look at the artwork for September 22nd Gojira Blu-ray release. Though being distributed by Genius Products, the Blu-ray release will be the same as last year's Classic Media release of the 1954 classic. Well, not exactly. You'll only get the uncut English-subtitled version (Sorry, fans of Raymond Burr and bad dubbing!) and the audio commentary track from two noted Godzilla experts will not be included. The disc will still come with theatrical trailers and features on the designing of the Godzilla suit and development of the film's story. Retail price ill be $29.93.

This marks...
