The independent kaiju film THE GREAT BUDDHA ARRIVAL (????, Daibutsu Kokaiku) will have its North American premiere at this year`s G-Fest, running Friday, July 12 through Sunday, July 14 at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O’Hare in Rosemont, IL. The film will screen on Saturday at 10:00am, and on Sunday at 10:30am. Members of THE GREAT BUDDHA ARRIVAL production team will also be on hand to present the film. Actors Peggy Neal (THE X FROM OUTER SPACE) and Akira Takarada (GODZILLA) are Guests Of Honor at the convention, and Avery Guerra, the movie`s Consulting Producer, Casting Director, and Publicist, will be in attendance the entire weekend. Directed by Hiroto Yokokawa, the movie is a remake of the long-lost 1934 film by Yoshiro Edamasa, which was quite possibly the first-ever daikaiju film from Japan.
