Toho's "Godzilla Crew" Thoughts on the MV

Post by Mac Daddy MM »

Got in thinking about this for some reason. It's a well known fact that in 1998, suit actor Kenpachirô Satsuma walked out of a screening saying "It's not Godzilla, it doesn't have the spirit." I'm curious what his and other actors/staff involved in the Japanese films have to say about the MV. I know there's plenty of photos showing MV Godzilla's mo-cap actor messing around with the Japanese suit actors, so that is a huge plus. But has anything ever been said "officially?"

I do know that Haruo Nakajima was given and used an invitation to 2014's premiere, and seemed quite pleased with the result; both watching the film and seeing other's reactions to the character he helped start.

I need a source but I believe I remember hearing some of the producers (including Shogo Tomiyama?) cried at the end of G14 and said they were so happy to see their creation done justice.

Other then that and Namikawa being happy enough to watch it and pose with a 14 toy, idk.
