Trailer Drops for Official Godzilla vs. Hedorah Short

Trailer Drops for Official Godzilla vs. Hedorah Short

By G. H. (Gman)GodzillaPublished: October 20, 2021

Although the Alamo Drafthouse will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of Godzilla vs. Hedorah with North American screenings, Toho has their own ideas. On November 3rd, Godzilla's 67th birthday, the Godzilla Festival will premiere a new, live action Godzilla vs. Hedorah short in Japan. On the same day it will drop on Toho's Godzilla Youtube Channel.

You can watch the trailer below:

The short is directed by Kazuhiro Nakagawa who is no stranger to the genre. He was an assistant director on the Attack on Titan live action films, Shin Godzilla and the upcoming 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.

Nakagawa shot the new short film on Toho's lot in just over three days using the 2004 Godzilla and Hedorah suits from Godzilla: Final Wars. Fans may also recognize Akira Ifukube's piece from Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah in the trailer.

Get ready for some traditional, tokusatsu action November 3rd between Godzilla and Hedorah in honor of Godzilla vs. Hedorah's 50th Anniversary!

Finally, Hedorah is getting some more attention, it's interesting that they used the Final Wars designs. Can't wait to see it.

He's fighting Hedorah, so clearly he's going to use his atomic breath to fly like in the older film...

just imagine actually seeing that. you're walking down the sidewalk, enjoying the fresh air, when you hear the sound of what seems to be a lazer. then you look up.

it's a giant radioactive dino-lizard thing curled up like a shrimp firing a lazer beam from its mouth, flying backwards through the air.

The 2004 Hedorah (which is the suit being used) has tubes spewing smog which is apparently just a trait in males.

The Showa Hedorah was female.

Showa Hedorah was female? I always assumed that it was a hermaphrodite.

SasquaDash,
I suppose since the Hedorah from the Showa series is in a different continuity, and I don't know of a source explicitly stating it as female, it's possible. The assumption has largely been that since it does not have the protruding tubes, and elongated appendage, ala Final Wars Hedorah, that it was female.

monsterzero9,
What specifically? It's certainly confirmed the Hedorah in Final Wars is a male.

monsterzero9,
Designer Shinji Nishikawa confirmed the inclusion of tubes as genitalia in the Godzilla Final Wars Super Complete Works. Godzilla Defense Force was the first English language source to confirm it.
