Godzilla Fest 2024 is upon us! That means the 70th Anniversary Godzilla celebration is here! Godzilla Minus One returns to theaters to the US this November! And we celebrate the 60th and 50th anniversaries of King Ghidorah and MechaGodzilla respectfully! Due to the difference in time zone, the live stream will start for U.S. fans on the night of November 2nd. Take a look at the following schedule:
12:00 JST - 11:00PM EST - Godzilla Fest 2024 Opening Ceremony!
12:30 JST - 11:30PM EST - Latest Godzilla News Announcements
13:35 JST - 12:35AM EST - Godzilla: Battle Line - Travel Edition

16:15 JST - 3:15AM EST - Fest Godzilla 5: All Monsters Showdown
17:20 JST - 4:20AM EST - Godzilla Bar
After the events, attendees will be treated to a screening of a 4K remaster of the original 1954 masterpiece that started it all! While the list seems sparse compared to last year, part of the reason is because meet-and-greets with the monsters, such as the 1954 Godzilla, the 2004 Godzilla, Chibi Godzilla, Gigan and Jet Jaguar, will take place on a different stage.
Additionally, Fest Godzilla 5: All Monsters Showdown will premiere! The short is directed by Kazuhiro Nakagawa. Nakagawa directed the last three Godzilla Festival shorts: Godzilla vs. Hedorah, Fest Godzilla 3: Gigan Attacks and Fest Godzilla 4: Operation Jet Jaguar. He was an assistant director on the Attack on Titan live action films, Shin Godzilla and Shin Ultraman. Additionally, he directed shorts for Godzilla theme park attractions including, Godzilla vs. Evangelion: The Real 4-D and the zip line attraction, Godzilla Interception Operation Awaji. He's also directed two episodes of Ultraman Z during the pandemic.
But what other surprises could be in store for fans on Godzilla's 70th? Will
Gemstone release a surprise sequel to their Godzilla vs. Megalon short from last year? What new projects will be announced, if any? And what kind of merchandise can we expect?
