Sony Releasing More Godzilla -- And Mothra -- Blu-rays!

[kpa]

SciFi Japan has posted an update with product specs for the upcoming "Toho Godzilla Collection" Blu-rays from Sony. This isn’t necessarily everything that will be on these discs; just what has been confirmed so far.

Nice to see the audio commentary included with G2000. It would be cool if they gave us trailers like they did on all the Heisei blus.

Putting two 90-minute movies onto a blu-ray isn't really "cramming"

Oh man, I just realised; major buzzkill for me. These are going to be locked to Region A, aren't they? Do any of the current Sony Godzilla Blu-rays play on non-American players? Looking on Bluray.com it looks like none of them do, and if G2K turns out to be region-locked as well then I'll probably have to continue waiting indefinitely for a version that features the original Japanese cut and English subs that I can actually watch.

About freaking time!

Now where is Godzilla Returns/Godzilla 1985???

[lhb412]

This is actually much more exciting than their original spate of releases for me because G2K and GMK are two of my favorite post-Showa Godzilla films, coupled with seeing the original version of G2K and Mothra 3 for the first time - I'm excited!

This is pretty much *exactly* what I wanted for G2K. I hope the bluray transfer is a big step up from the dvd which I thought could have been a lot better.

Probably just easier to slap the DVD content they already have on one disc then put the Japanese cut on another rather than create a new (and probably more expensive to produce), seamless branching version specifically for this release.

You can't really branch the two versions. There are more than one hundred edits.

BTW, was there ever a reason as to why Destoroyah was in 2.0 even though MEchaG and SpaceG were in 5.1?

[H-Man]

It would be really nice to get the Tristar version's original end title as an extra (or something). Pretty doubtful since Toho didn't like it back in 2000.

I thought the question mark end title was removed because people thought it was cheesy? I seem to recall reading that after the movie came out here.

I think Schlesinger had it removed because the wrong font was used. Wonder why they didn't simply correct it instead of removing it completely.

[Dr Kain]

OH, I forgot that was on there in the theater.

Signing off with "The End?" certainly fits into the 50s/60s tone the English version has. The right font makes a big difference cause it could've have been done with a modern twist (like the rest of the film) but unfortunately came out goofy and against the movie in a way.
