I wish they'd just reissue the Toho Icons set on Blu-ray.

Wouldn’t it be great if Indicator picked this up in the UK.

I believe that Indicator has no intentions of releasing foreign language films. Maybe Eureka will license them.

I'm assuming this is going to have the Japanese cut of the film and not just the dubbed version of the film?

A safe bet. Sony's DVD is dual-language.

I'm not sure that Sony even has the UK rights: virtually none of the Godzilla films got any kind of home video release in the UK even back in the days when it seemed like everything came out on VHS let alone when Sony released the US DVDs, largely because Toho wanted such unrealistic sums for their films in that territory (sometimes as high as £250,000 - and that is UK pounds, not a misprint for dollars), and only a couple of Toho's scifi films made it to DVD there. At present the only three Toho Godzilla films on Blu in the UK are the original, King Kong vs. Godzilla (Universal cut) and Shin Gojira while The Mysterians - one of the few Toho scifi films to get a legit UK DVD release - has never been upgraded. Classic kaiju and Toho scifi just don't seem to sell enough there.
