Shin Godzilla NON-SPOILER news and info

I'll never not enjoy hearing Ifukube's themes in the theater, but I really think "Shin Godzilla" should have had a whole new score to go with a total reboot of the creature.

Obviously I've been complaining about the lack of a UK release, but has Shin Godzilla screened anywhere in Europe yet? The only non-Asian territories I recall hearing about are the US, Canada and Mexico. What happened to these 100 countries that supposedly snapped up the license?

I loved all of the music choices in Shin Godzilla. I've read that some of the cues were stock tracks from Evangelion but I've never seen any of that so all of the non-Ifukube music sounded new to me. Which scenes had Evangelion music?

[Psycho Soldier]

Rando's team's meetings are set to remixes of the track "Decisive Battle." I also haven't seen "Evangelion," but I'm aware of this one.



Relatedly, "Black Angels" (which plays when the air forces first engage Godzilla) is a revised version of a track from "Bleach":

So anybody notice that the Art of Shin Godzilla book got pushed back again to December? I hope it means there will be some really interesting (hopefully english language) content. Dang, though I'm almost wondering if this will ever get released!

*a tumbleweed rolls by*

Is it me, or has the momentum dropped right out of this movie's world tour? I guess the rest of us will have to wait for the blu-ray to be released somewhere.

^ It does seem that way, but it used to take a while before films made their way to other countries. Many of us were lucky enough to get the film so soon, but maybe for the rest the film is on the slower, more old fashioned, trek to their home countries?

The straw Godzilla is impressive. I've considered making a Godzilla out of Keurig cups, but don't have the skills or space for such a thing.

[Gentleman]

Not bad. Call me when the stick and brick Godzilla's show up.

As most are probably aware, Shin Godzilla draws heavy inspiration from the 2011 Tohoku earthquake/ tsunami and subsequent Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. This haunting video really drives that home. If you've seen the film, some imagery will be familiarly eerie.

[Rody]

^That's... Terrifying. I never actually followed coverage of the disaster(s), so this is all new footage to me.
It really does lend context to the film's visuals.

[lhb412]

Jeez. I hadn't seen any of that footage.

On a less somber note: Japanese home video release is March 22.

[lhb412]

Mexican trailer!

I believe it was a pre-order that was listed prematurely then taken down. Specific versions were apparently listed, with multi disc special edition getting most of the attention from fans.
