‘Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla’ to Play in US Cinemas for the First Time
For the first time ever, the 2002 feature Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla will grace theater screens in the United States for one day.
Godzilla Day is a day established to celebrate the iconic 1953 film’s original release in Japan. This year to celebrate everyone’s favorite kaiju, Fathom Events has teamed up with Toho International and theaters nationwide to bring this event to U.S. fans. Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla was only released in theaters in Japan, with international fans only getting a home release years later. Now, fans in the U.S. will not only get to see the movie on the big screen but it will be shown with subtitles, a “never-before-seen featurette direct from Japan”, and a message to fans from Keiji Ota, Toho International’s Chief Godzilla Officer.
A new Godzilla causes the JSDF to construct a cyborg countermeasure from the original monster’s remains. The beast’s restless soul is discovered to inhabit the machine as the pilot must learn to find value in her own life.
