Heisei lives!-Godzilla Fes (2021)-Some sort of new live action short?

Post by LSD Jellyfish »

Unsurprisingly, there will be another GFES this year, held online.

https://godzilla.store/gfes/2021/

Apparently, the first item on the list, is a special effects short film, directed by 中川和博! I believe this is by the same guy that directed that other one with the revamped 54 suit. The guy refers to it as a “mini-movie”. I have to wonder, if it’ll be 2 mins, or 10 minutes? Will another monster return?

You can see a brief preview of it at 1:15:

That suit actually looks fantastic!.. save for the mouth not moving.

A guy who randomly stumbled upon this place one day, invested much too much time into it, and now appears to be stuck here for all eternity..and strangely enough, i do not regret it!

With "that other one with the revamped 54 suit" do you mean that coffee commercial? It's the only video I remember seeing with that suit to date, which is a shame because it's darn nice and deserves more use - hopefully it will see it. If you were referring to something else I missed I'd love to know about it!

I don't think another monster will show, it's a mini-movie so I imagine the budget was such that remaking the Heisei suit was as much as they could do suit-wise. Think you'd need a full movie or show to justify more than one monster suit.

It looks great, love what little we see of the city destruction.

Yeah, the open mouth is very noticeable here. Guess they didn't have the budget for the mechanical bits that make the mouth open and close?
I unapologetically, wholeheartedly, and without a doubt hate Godzilla vs Kong.

Perfect timing, here's the short from last year. If there'll be a "sequel" to this, hope it's just as fun!

I think he's talking about the one for the Eiji Tsuburaya museum,

Did Toho manage to preserve the suit? Wonder what it's being used for now.
