Kickstarter: Godzilla vs. Wolfman, Gamera 4, Raiga

[RaymondBurr]

Hi fellas!

The Kickstarter for the documentary "Kaiju Gaiden" has now launched. The documentary is supposed to cover several independently made Japanese kaiju productions, including: Godzilla vs. the Wolfman, Gamera 4, Raiga, Matango 2, and Atragon 2.

The way Kickstarter works, if you aren't familiar with the process, is that creators post their project and fans pledge money to support it. If enough people pledge to reach the funding goal, then the project is actually made.

I kind of think of it as pre-ordering. Each pledge level has a reward (e.g. pledge $25 and you will get a DVD of the Kaiju Gaiden documentary), so when you pledge to support the project, you get something tangible in return.

Here are some pics from their Kickstarter site. Check it out and support the project. I can't wait to see more of these films and hear from their creators!!!

I'd like to see this succeed. Hope it can hit its goal.

I was at the G-Fest panel for Kaiju Gaiden and it should be really cool. Its true fan films happen all the time, but these ones have a certain level of craft that sets them apart, partially due to many of them having the involvement of technicians that worked on that actual films involved. I plan on pledging some cash for this one. Should be a really cool doc.

I was at G-Fest this year and couldn't attend the panel. Anyway, pledge this morning and I hope that they succeed.

I was one of the kickstarter supporters so I'll be pissed if I don't get my copy of the film. I'll be looking into how to complain on kickstarter while I follow the updates on this.

Whatever happened with his project?

[Baltan II]

Nothing, judging by the updates page of the Kickstarter. Such a shame that a lot of talent surrounded this project for it to go nowhere. On the bright side, it looks like all the rewards outside of the nonexistent movie were mailed out?

[klen7]

^ nope. They mailed out some posters to some people but none of the other rewards. I was supposed to get a wolfman chibi figure, which the artist delivered to the kickstarter but wasn't paid for. I still have received nothing despite my regrettably larger donation...

At one point it seemed their were two separate projects being worked out of the ashes of the kickstarter, but i havent heard or seen anything on either since last July.

There was a lot of mudslinging on the facebook if you want to see some of the trainwreck. Based on what I've heard and talking to some of the people involved with the project, i tend to trust mark jaramillo's version of events.

Maybe, Legendary or some other movie company could do a movie based on the plots of these unfilmed movies.
