With the 60th anniversary quickly approaching, Rialto Pictures has announced they will be releasing a restored and uncut version of Honda Ishirô’s 1954 movie Godzilla. Rialto will debut Godzilla: The Japanese Original at the TCM Classic Film Festival on April 12th, with the film screening around America.
“The original GODZILLA holds up as one of the greatest science fiction/monster films ever made, boasting still-impressive special effects, as the radiation-breathing prehistoric monster, awakened after millennia by Hydrogen Bomb testing – and impervious to repeated shelling by the Japanese army – wreaks destruction on Tokyo.”
Way back in 1956, the original film was reedited and redubbed for American audiences, with Raymond Burr as the protagonist in the film titled Godzilla: King Of Monsters. Rialto promises that Godzilla: The Japanese Original will be the complete and uncut Japanese version. The film will be screening in the following cities across the US:
- April 18 – 24 NEW YORK, NY Film Forum
- April 25 – May 1 SANTA FE, NM Jean Cocteau Cinema
- May 2 – 5 PORTLAND, OR Hollywood Theatre
- May 2 – 8 SEATTLE, WA SIFF Cinema Uptown
- May 23 – 26 HOUSTON, TX The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
- May 28 LEXINGTON, KY Kentucky Theatre
- July 17 COLUMBUS, OH Wexner Center for the Arts
