^The transfers they got for the Showa Gamera's weren't the greatest, but they made up for it by making the releases super cheap (and they're still a noticeable upgrade and feature better subtitles than Shout's releases).

I'm sure Son of Godzilla and Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla will be fine regardless of who picks them up, assuming they use the Sony transfers like Kraken.

Columbia was the original distributor of Mothra '61 which now belongs to Sony. It appears that Toho has licensing power over those films that were distributed by companies that no longer exist, Sony's Columbia not being one of them. Sony should be the one that has Licensing power over that film if they decide to do so.

Would said "issues" concerned mistimed subtitles? That's the only thing I can think of, since I had that problem watching some of them on my PS3.

Sony purchased Columbia Pictures and TriStar from Coca-Cola in 1989, and the two companies still exist as divisions of Sony Pictures. Columbia invested money into the production of MOTHRA back in 1961, and has worldwide rights to that film (excluding Japan and a few Asian and European countries) in perpetuity.

MOTHRA was one of the hundreds of Sony titles sub-licensed to Mill Creek and was included in a DVD budget 4-pack early this year. I haven’t heard of any plans for a MOTHRA Blu-ray but will bring it up next time I talk to my contacts at Mill Creek.
