GODZILLA VS. BIOLLANTE DVD/Blu-ray from Echo Bridge

[Starsteam]

So Echo Bridge has it, eh? Wonder how many multi-movie packs this one will get released on.

I only own one EB Blu-ray, which is Halloween H20 but the quality was decent and not as grainy as most of their DVDs. I'm not sure how good their GvBio release will be, but I'm rooting for it's release.

Seriously, dude, go back and read this thread. The guy from Echobridge is trying his best to make this a decent release and is listening to our input.

And that's why I'm looking forward to this release. Someone who is working on this release is talking with the fans and seeing what they want from it. If more companies could do this then there would be so much less complaining.

HAHAHA, that makes me laugh. That is one of my least favorite things about our company and the state of retail B&M DVD sales, but if you look back in this thread I explained why we do it. Its a demand vs value proposition.

Also, sorry for going silent for so long guys, especially @Crimson_Raptor Life and the 4th of July holiday got in my way.

Ok, update... umm... nothing exciting. I am waiting for our HD master to make it through QC and final delivery at FotoKem. (The first clone didn't sync correctly with the english dub on first try, so they did a second attempt) I am waiting on approval for domestic use of the Toho bonus features from their Japanese BD, which it sounds like we may not get all of? but I am not sure on that part because Miramax is handling that and I have not been part of the communications on that.

I talked to Ed G and I am kind of waiting to see what we get from Toho for bonus features before I ask him for a lot of stuff because I don't want to end up with so much bonus material that some doesn't make it onto the disc. (I am trying to make sure the disc doesn't get too compressed as well)

Other news, it looks like the sales team may have it locked in for a late November or early December 2012 release. How do you like that? :p

Hey, progress is progress!!

It will make for a great Christmas gift!!! Also, have you decided on a coverart for the case or is that still being worked out? Also, I'm guessing they synced the English audio correctly on the second attempt....right? Also, call me cautious, but be careful regarding the extras Ed supplies you with and make sure that Toho approves them before you put them on the disc....(I just don't want another Media Blasters type debacle on our hands... ). Again, thanks for all your efforts........can't wait for this release.

Umm I'm afraid to show it to you guys... I'm hoping its getting revised now that I've convinced a couple people of the importance of this release.

It's here for now...

Please don't download it or repost it to large media outlets or something, I'm not sure what the policy is on leaking pre-release art.

[tymon]

^I dig it, but would like it a lot more if the colors were changed around a bit.

Adding another "thank you" to the list, mxg744. Your communication with us is immensely appreciated - seems this will be a great release.

Wow, I love that cover design..thanks for sharing!!

Thanks mxg744. With all the wonderful information you gave us, I am in no way shape or form going to hold Echo Bridge to that approxamate time. You said "may" as in, not for sure, But its enough to keep fans here happy. Oh yes and as others have mentioned PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE... double, triple, and quadruple check all your extras with TOHO. Make them sign in blood that they aprove all extras. I want a mini cert of authenticity with my BRD as well (j/k on that last part...) But if you know anything of the Media Blasters debacle, you understand why so much caution.

Oh and dont worry about the BRD concept cover art link. I cant see it from work anyway. I'm sure whatever it islooks great. But just FYI... You can never go wrong with the original advance theatrical poster art (if Toho would approve it that is...)

Oh and at the risk of sounding overly anxious. I was wondering, if you would have any idea approxamately how much profit (in dollars or units sold) Echo Bridge would have to see from this release in order to warrant a viable interest in obtaining distribution rights to other Godzilla or Toho films?

[omgitsgodzilla]

Love that cover, though the "First time on DVD!" blurb would probably be better on the back.

[Showa Gyaos]

That cover art made my jaw drop.

[omgitsgodzilla]

It has an aesthetic to it that I like, but I can't quite put my finger on what to call it.

Biollante is drowning

Boom, keep it simple and it looks great.

[Proofpoochie]

Echo Bridge.....meh. I'll keep my Japanese import Blu-ray.

[MaxRebo320]

I like it. Delightfully cheesy.

Great looking pic. this looks great it needs a little changes in colors but overall is ok.
Nice to hear this moving along and i hope this gets aproved in time for Christmas.

Also i found this just to know your opinion:



Fanmade sure...but it looks cool.

For the most part that cover looks amazing IMO. I especially like the pic of Godzilla and the colors. However, Biollante being at the bottom is a bit baffling.

I really like it. That shot of Godzilla is awesome IMO. No complaints here if you choose to stick with that cover art.

[UnCanny Studios]

I'm digging the cover art. Can't wait to own this!
