I still remember when it took THIS LONG to actually get the Big Guy in America, because Toho was so paranoid about the US making their own DVD's ahead of time, and Japan being invaded by US-import sales...

Thankfully, we've got negotiations now, with Weinsteins/Classic Media in charge of classic-Godzilla marketing, and even though Toho wants their own first crack at Blu sales, at least we can hope that both countries are talking and that it's When, Not If.

(Similarly, there were rumors that Sony was going to clean up their three last remaining non-Classic Toho's for '09--Mothra, H-Man and 90's-Mothra #3--for SD later this year, but there's been no word for a while now.)

I lost all faith in ever getting a domestic copy of a Godzilla film on BD the second you mentioned Weinstein.
