In the quote above WoGzilla wrote "it took a long time to get funding approved from Toho" but Toho isn't funding the film.

"The film was stuck in a state of "production hell" for about a year"... Banno's first story treatment was written in 2003 so we're going on 5 years, not 1.

"As of February 2008, funding has been received and the movie is scheduled to be released in early 2009."... from what I've heard, that's not true either. Based on the errors, I wouldn't put too much faith in the quoted statement.

Now here's the "however" part...

Kadokawa Pictures held a special screening of their restored RASHOMON last month in Japan. Yoshimitsu Banno attended the event and told some friends of mine that he just lined up funding for GODZILLA 3-D.

It wasn't clear if that was a done deal or if Banno just has a strong prospect for financial backing, but that's the latest news that I know of from Japan.

Thank you.

Thank's for that Keith, but Banno's been saying that on and off for a long time now I think. Why believe anything this guy says anymore?

This whole thing has devolved into a Farce as far as I'm concerned. On again, off again, on again ... Blech! I miss Godzilla too but I would rather wait ten more years instead of needlessly getting excited about this retarded project that has really gone NOWHERE. In the bizarre case that it ever gets released I'll watch it just like all of you guys but come on man Five years?? It's not like we are talking about something like James Cameron's AVATAR being developed or something like that. I say it's just B.S. ------

I wonder what did thought when he heard about this project.

IN October 2005, Yoshimitsu Banno and Kenji Okuhira signed a contract with Toho for the rights to use Godzilla in Banno's planned IMAX movie. Since a contract was in place before Legendary tried to option Godzilla they would have needed to wait for it to expire, buy Banno and Okuhira out, or bring them in as part of the new project. Obviously, they chose the latter option.
