Lost Projects: Bride of Godzilla?

[SoleMan]

I thought that it was like a comic book, and was just something they sold for no reason.
It would make more sense that I had never heard of it before then, though...

Well, I tried to buy the book this info is from this morning...but the only vendors that would ship internationally are charging $150.00! I'm not prepared to pay that much for a book right now, maybe in a couple more weeks after I get paid again. As long as it's available, though, I WILL OWN THIS BOOK.

seriously. that's crazy. i wish that they'd take the proto-Rodan plot and run with it.

I've seen this book quite a few times in book stores around Tokyo last year...it's not rare at all, so definitely don't waste $150 on it. I considered getting it, but even at 5000 ¥ ($50), I found it a bit pricy for a text-heavy book. Of course, it's 100% in Japanese with basically little to no photos (i.e. no concept art/storyboards/etc.), so unless you can read Japanese or are really interested in studying kanji, I would advise passing on it...

well then to heck with the book. the novelty value is diminished by its lack of use. i'd only get it for the concept art, anyway, so the purpose is defeated. ah well.

I'm gonna be in Tokyo in the Spring. Whereabouts did you see this book?

That I can't read it doesn't bother me. Hmm...I wonder if Kinokuniya has it? I should go to one and check.

[Young Guy]

If this is so true, how come the folks at Toho kingdom don't have it in their lost projects section?

Probably being cautious after having a few fake projects up in the past (like godzilla vs the devil). Plus, there are parts of this site that have been needing to be updated.

Also, is that "Space Godzilla" thing where he came from another planet true?

That was the one that the director of "House" wanted to do, right? It was areal idea from what I've heard, but I don't think it went very far.

You mean this House?

Haven't checked for awhile...I believe the most recent copy I saw was a few months ago at Kinokuniya in Shibuya. I've also seen used copies at some Book Offs from time to time, as well as a used copy at Mandarake in Nakano Broadway....

[KaijuFiend]

Eugh. Not a fan of Godzilla falling in love. Perhaps if they changed that element of the plot, this could have been pretty good.

yup, that's the one.

So bad it's good, honestly. I'm glad the idea exists, but I' mglad it was never made.

giant naked robot girls? Godzilla?

alas, things ahead of their time often meet disastrous fates. ever heard of jan hus? preceded martin luther by about 100 years (no, not that martin luther --- the one who wrote the 95 theses). he ended up dead, but his plan worked later for a different guy.

skip forward 20 years and this movie fits like a new glove, man.

It probably would, assuming the naked robot wouldn't have nipples and a vagina. I think after the kid-friendliness they wouldn't go that far.

XD hahahahaha

i mean in general 70s tone. i didn't mean just the Toho market. (my american horror influences got the better of me with that comment).

[MechaGodzillaShowa]

This is the 1st time I ever heard of this and it's got me curious. Interesting subject.

Where did it say the robot was naked?
