Restored “Godzilla” To Be Released
Jeffrey Wells observes: ‘A new restoration of Toho’s “Godzilla” (a.k.a., “Gojira”), the 1954 monster classic “that has spawned six decades of sequels, imitations and remakes,†will debut on 4.12 at the TCM Classic Film Festival in Hollywood, followed by a national release beginning at New York’s Film Forum (4.18 to 4.24). But of course, a 50th anniversary re-release happened ten years ago plus Criterion released a Bluray “Gojira” in 2012, so why is this happening again?’
