Short Godzilla Film Being Made For Eiji Tsuburaya Museum

[LSD Jellyfish]

Those daytime shots make me both wish this would come to western audiences, and also wish for more modern suitmation.

Agreed.

More of what to expect:

[Godzilla165]

Yeah, that suit is absolutely beautiful. I’d love to see full blown suitmation possibly brought back in future Toho films.

[Gailah 1966]

Thank you very much for posting this LSD Jellyfish! The pics are really amazing.

Absolutely. It`s still another kind of action imo.

[Cookson]

Got the book today(surprised as my tracking number hasn’t updated in a few days). Yeah, the suit is absolutely beautiful. Toho really should work with Netflix and get an updated Showa style movie series or something going using this suit. Wow..

Ick, no more streaming service exclusive movies. Godzilla's meant to be seen on the big screen.

Couldn't agree with this more.

I agree too... BUT I understand streaming service deals are the way of the future.

I think it's far more likely if the film ever gets some home release it will be in the form of a DVD extra, or just uploaded to a youtube channel.

This short film yes. The conversation above was about future films using this suit and style

Preach.

I don't see it - even if they go back to suitmation, and that is a huge if, it probably won't be this 54 suit. They're bound to do another redesign of some sort.

That`s why there are 2 sub-forums meanwhile. The monsterverse is for CGI-lovers, the Reiwa-Era is for tradition-lovers.

All Reiwa-era films so far use CGI Godzillas though

Absolutely, but Shin was still made similarly to how a lot of previous films were made. Miniatures were used. I think the word the original poster used “CGI” is a bit incorrect but the sentiment of wanting future Godzilla films to be more like this short film and shin ring true.


If we are talking about the short film, and some materials I’ve been reading, I think it’s interesting that there’s still a lot of untapped potential with miniatures and suits.

What does that have to do with anything? All the Reiwa films so far are CGI, there is no reason to assume that will change going forward, and on top of everything else I'm not sure what that comment has to do with the posts that came before it - I said even on the slim chance they do go back to using suits in future movies this won't be the suit they'll use.

It's be more accurate to say Monsterverse is second America Goji and Reiwa is new Japan Goji.

Of course Toho will use CGI in thier new films (and already has used) but I´m hoping for a niche where films will be produced like in the "good old times"
Godzilla vs the legendary wolfman or the 64th anniversary short film could be the last films using suitmation.
I´m just not satisfied with the new CGI kaiju movies except Shin Godzilla. Just don`t want to see the tradition dying because I´m a kaiju-movie-hardliner

[Jetty_Jags]

When we were discussing using suits, I don’t think anyone meant using the 54 suit, but rather just go back to suitmation, and show what it can offer in this day and age.

Which can be very impressive

Yeah I know that, but that has nothing to do with there being two subforums - this subforum isn't for "tradition-lovers", it's for discussing the Reiwa era films made so far and what you'd like to see in the future, suitmation or CG or whatever (come on hand-puppets!). Personally I'd prefer a mix, a few suitimation films here and a few CGI films there (and I'm talking both from Toho - not that "Legendary does CG and Toho does all suits" idea some have spouted). But for now everything is just theoretical, however I'm skeptical of suits making a comeback any time soon considering the success of Shin's CGI version.

My bad then, the way it was worded I thought it was meant this suit in particular being in future movies, and I just don't see that happening.
