SciFi Japan has reported an updated schedule for the film festival running at the Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles, California. The event will now run for the weekend only, from June 30th to July 2nd. In total, there are eight different features attached to the event, although the show is running relatively light in regards to Toho productions this year as only Godzilla (1954), Godzilla 2000: Millennium (1999) and Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001) made the cut, the latter of which is the Japanese version while the previous two are the edited US ones.

Other features to be shown at the festival include: The Great Yokai War, Negadon: The Monster from Mars, episodes from the TV show Ultraman Max directed by Shusuke Kaneko and Takashi Miike. The event will also showcase the US premieres of Gamera the Brave and Mirror Man: Reflex.

Guests for the event include Terry Morse Jr. and Michael Schlesinger, who created the US edit for Godzilla 2000: Millennium (1999), along with some of the crew at Classic Media who will give the crowd a taste of their upcoming Godzilla DVDs.

Ticket prices to the showing, including the double features, are $9 for general admission, $7 for students and seniors, and $6 for members of the American Cinematheque. The theater is located at 6712 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood California. For more information please visit the Egyptian Theatre website.
