Author: Andrew Nguyen From August 10-30, the Hashimoto Contemporary served as the site of an art exhibit in honor of the Godzilla series' 70th anniversary, hosted by Spoke Art and Ghost X Ghost along with the support of Toho Studios. Titled "70 years of Godzilla," the exhibit contains officially licensed art pieces from 40 artists with a variety of different styles presented. Several of the art pieces were created by well-known artists that have previously worked on Godzilla related merchandise. The opening ceremony was on August 10 and on the day before the opening of the exhibit, the two companies hosted a screening of the original GODZILLA (1954) at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. The art exhibition will gradually release copies of the pieces presented in the exhibit with the last of them being made available

Pictures released GODZILLA, a $160 million American adaptation of the long-running Toho Co. franchise. Co-produced by Legendary Pictures and directed by Gareth Edwards, the film finally gave many fans what they had long hoped to see... a big-budget, Hollywood take on the King of the Monsters with state-of-the-art visual effects. Well-received by critics and audiences, the new GODZILLA was a box office success, with a sequel announced for 2018. The generally positive reviews for the 2014 film were a sharp contrast to the reception given the first Godzilla movie made by an American studio.
