Per streaming from Godzilla Day, Godzilla vs. Megalon '23 has finally premiered online for fans to see! The short is an officially backed sequel to last year's Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex. Gigan Rex was a loose sequel to the fan film, G vs. G, all of which were directed by Takuya Uenishi. The original G vs. G was submitted by Uenishi to Gemstone as the winning project of their Godzilla contest. Take a look at his latest film:
Director Takuya Uenishi has also worked on the effects of both Shin Godzilla (2016) and Monster Hunter. The Godzilla Channel will have the film up for a limited time.
This Godzilla Day, in addition to the CG short film, Godzilla vs. Megalon, another short film (Fest Godzilla 4: Operation Jet Jaguar) will be produced by director Kazuhiro Nakagawa. Nakagawa directed the tokusatsu shorts for the last three years, Godzilla Appears at G-Fest (2020), the Godzilla vs. Hedorah short and Fest Godzilla 3: Gigan Attacks. Nakagawa also directed episodes of Ultraman Z and the current series, Ultraman Decker.
This year's festival will also include the debut of a Jet Jaguar suit replica. Slated to show up in Nakagawa's short, the new suit was built by Shinchi Wakasa, the suit designer for the Millennium series Godzilla suits (sans "GMK") and popular Heisei series villains such as Destoroyah, SpaceGodzilla, MechaGodzilla, Rodan and last year's Gigan replica suit.
Plenty of other exciting announcements and merchandise is expected this year as well. You can watch the events live on the Youtube Godzilla Channel. Stay tuned for more information as it comes.
