I know some of you have already heard of or seen these links, but for those who are unaware, I'm in the process of making a Godzilla fan film called GODZILLA: BATTLE ROYALE or "GBR" for short.
The 1st link is the trailer for Godzilla Battle Royale that premiered at G-fest XVIII @ the Pickwick Theatre July 16th before the Gamera II: Advent of Legion film (alongside with Lobsterdance's [kiryugoji04's] classic OGGRA: VOODOO MONSTER FROM HELL/ULTRAMAN SORTA trailer)
The 2nd link is G-FANTIS: WORLDS COLLIDE (which also premiered @ The Pickwick ) which was a side project I did for G-fest itself using the same clips from my trailer GODZILLA: BATTLE ROYALE. However this is more of a pilot/webisode I edited which will be in my fan film as well (minus the ending) when its finished. This is more or less a big taste of things to come .
This project will include many of the greatest kaiju fan made suits from G-fest and the US that I am taking the liberty to film. It will feature my Godzilla, Hedorah, Ebirah, and Zombie Kong suits. Also appearing will be Krys Baioa's Millenium Angurius & Gigan suits as well as a Manda prop. Paul Gavin's Mothra Zilla & Shirakuna props. JD Lees G-Fantis suit. Brant Morrin's Gezora suit. Rich St. Andrew's Orga suit, Jeff Magnussen's Mechagodzilla suit (you may remember him as Kiryu from 30 Rock!!!). And of course Kyle Jacob Bakers Varan and Hyper Godzilla suits
. The story is set after the events of Destroy all Monsters (the technical end of the Showa era) and was written by Josh Oshkosh Bgosh and myself. Its been over a decade since Godzilla and the monsters of Monster Island defeated the reign of the Kilaaks and King Ghidorah. Then out of no where, Godzilla, Angurius, Varan and Manda show up in Chicago, IL USA to wreck havoc. Enter US Air Force pilot Matt Kennedy, callsign: "Razor Shark." Put in charge to pilot America's only Anti-Kaiju Weapon, "X-Rider." But as he enters the battlefield, Matt realizes there's more to this disaster than what it seems. And the real "battle royale" is about to begin . . .
My intention is to make a fan film that focuses alil more on the monsters than the human story. Yes there will be a human plot in the middle of it, I just don't want it to overpower the monster plot like it has in so many other films. I also want to focus a little more on the monsters I felt never got the notoriety they deserved (ie Varan, Manda, Ebirah, Hedorah). So you can expect a bunch of mix and match battles that won't involve Godzilla. And on top of that, I intend to bring the best of all Godzilla eras into this project.
So far I have filmed a ton of stuff. In the last 2 weekends I finished filming all the green screen scenes I need for the Mothra fairies, Mechagodzilla, Varan and Hyper Godzilla. Now I have more stuff to film with all my suits, Gigan/Angurius, G-Fantis, Orga, and all the human scenes to go with it.
So far alot of ppl (esp the names mentioned above) have helped me out tremendously with this thing. I hope to find more help along the way by anyone who might be interested in assisting me in one way or another. And NO, i'm not asking for donations, just any time/talent anyone would want to contribute would be awesome as far as art, critique, suggestions, or g-fans in the Chicago area who would love to act in this thing. Need actors.
Anyways I hope you all enjoy the videos. Appreciate any comments/likes/suggestions/discussions/questions for this on youtube or here.
