Godzilla on Vacation
(via CNN) Godzilla is going into retirement. "Toho studios' executive producer, Shogo Tomiyama, said Thursday that the latest movie -- marking 28 releases and 50 years of Godzilla films -- would probably be the last one for at least a decade. 'We have done all we can to showcase Godzilla, including using computer-graphics technology. And yet we haven't attracted new fans,' Tomiyama told The Associated Press. 'So we will make the 50th anniversary film something special, a best-of-the-best, and then end it for now.' Godzilla: Final Wars is set to premiere in Japan in December, with a U.S. release to follow. The giant, genetically altered dinosaur will fight to the finish against 10 different foes, new and old."
Now I'm definitely going to have to teach Solomon how to play Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters on the GameCube. We've got to get our city-stomping monster fix somewhere.
Or, we'll have to start following the not-so-epic blood-sport of Kaiju Big Battel.
