Possible Godzilla movies on Blu Ray ?

[dsman71]

Saw something very interesting when I typed Godzilla on the search field. There were listings for Godzilla 1985, Biollante, Final Wars, Godzilla vs. Mothra.
I thought that was very interesting if nothing else. Ive heard Biollante is going to be released from Echo Bridge and 1985 may be in the Image library. Final Wars is a Sony owned title.
Anyone know anything else about these titles coming to Blu Ray ?
The thought of them on HD sounds wonderfully monstrous !

Japan has released the '89 to '95 movies on Blu-ray which I will be getting with each volume of Go-Busters.

the sony movie channel will be showing Godzilla movies all this month in Hi-DEF, so this could lead to a possible bluray release for the following:

Godzilla vs Space Godzilla (uncut international version)
Godzilla vs Destoroyah (uncut international version)

Godzilla 2000
Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah
Godzilla Against Mecha Godzilla
Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.

and Mothra 3!!!

if they are showing these movies in hd, than a bluray release cant be far behind

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony licenses these to Twilight Time.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do. The HD versions of these films have been out for a while now. You can even do the whole VUDU disc to digital thing and take in copies of the ones they have available in HD and pay $5. I was contemplating doing that for the ones that they had available that I could sync Japanese audio too and have a BD-R made.

just finished watching Godzilla 2000 and GMK, and i was quite impressed, after doing some comparisons with the dvd's upscaled through the oppo dv981hd, i look forward to these movies on bluray, especially if sony provides lossless audio (preferably dts hd ma, the dialog normalization with true hd just takes the fun out of everything) so heres hoping that sony just wanted to see how many people would tune in, so they could gauge the popularity of these movies and realize that we want them on bluray.

Shhhhh! DOn't ruin my life like that.

Go figure. The one movie I'd love to get an HD version for Vudu (Godzilla: Final Wars) and it's only available in SD.

King Kong vs. Godzilla needs a Blu Ray treatment and a Criterion treatment. It's the most commercially successful Godzilla film of all time and the one that sold the most tickets.

twilight time did a great job with "as good as it gets" , so if they are using the same transfers, the Godzilla movies should turn out pretty good, assuming they will release them.

and that would be a hell of a lot better than media blasters

i agree 100%, and criterion has a great relationship with universal, so this wouldn't be unheard of

I'm not saying Twilight Time releases bad transfers. I'm saying that I don't want to pay $30 plus per movie.

yeah, i just caught that.....good point

[OrlandoEastwood]

Classic Media was bought out by Dreamworks. So, those titles now belong them. And that means, they'd probably get releases by Fox if Dreamworks has any interest in putting those out.

[amlop71]

well just finished Mothra 3, and thus far Sony hasn't disappointed, hopefully enough people tuned in to get Sony's attention, and maybe now they will see that there is huge market for these films, lets all keep our collective fingers crossed.

This is nothing to be confirmed but this could mean something big eventually, or not..

But who is the company?

[dsman71]

Nevermind, I looked into it and chatted with one of the biggest authorities about Godzilla..
its fake was the verdict.. total bullshit

[Mando54]

I'm thinking it's a hoax.

There's no way that we wouldn't hear about the rights getting sold off to a company before anything else.

And all those special features. Toho has nixed ALL special features after Media Blaster released DAM with that API dub on it that started out very warped as an extra.

Dsman, who'd you talk to? I haven't seen anyone hardline deny it yet, but expect it to be soon enough.
