Recent TV commercials for Canon have been featuring a bunch of kids and
GODZILLA sporting rather fetching trademark KISS 'Starchild' make-up.

You can watch it on Youtube, HERE:

This prompted me to wonder if a new movie was perhaps in the offing.
Sources close to the film industry (my mate Ken at Blockbuster)
inform me that it's due in 2007/2008 and is provisionally entitled ...

...(wait for it)...

"Godzilla vs. Hedorah".

Which version of Hedorah they will use, and whether this is to be a remake or not
I don't know...
...BUT I THINK WE SHOULD BE TOLD!

They could use the Hedorah suit from Final Wars.

It's very lightly used.

They said a new movie wouldn't come out for 10 years. I suppose strong DVD sales may have changed their minds.

Wasn't this supposed to be some sort of IMAX movie?

Roger, the deal on that is that Yoshimitsu Banno, director of Godzilla Vs. Hedorah (the only Godzilla film he did, btw), will be helming a new Godzilla movie made for IMAX 3-D presentation ( ). Haven't heard yet if Hedorah will be featured in it or not.

Superb article on Banno and his landmark Godzilla flick here:

3-D IMAX !!!!

O MY GOD

That would be the best thing ever to hit IMAX ...... period !!!

I like the original Hedorah much better than the Final Wars Hedorah, so if Hedorah makes another appearance, I hope a new costume is made for the character.
