GODZILLA MINUS ONE Blu-ray is Coming and Toho Shared a First Look

Godzilla Minus One had an incredibly strong box office run at the movie theaters and fans flocked to the cinemas to watch it. That theatrical run has ended and now Toho is teasing the upcoming Blu-ray and DVD release of the film.

The home video teased below will be made available for Japanese consumers, but I think it’s safe to say that the United States will get something very similar.

The movie will be released in both its color and Black and White versions. The home release of Godzilla Minus One is set to hit shelves in Japan on May 1st. There’s no word on when the movie will hit home video in the United States.

The movie was written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki, and the story is set in the days after the end of World War II, when Japan is reeling from the devastation left behind after the war. The emotional toll has brought the country to its lowest point.

The story follows the failed kamikaze pilot Kiochi (Ryunosuke Kamiki) and Noriko (Minami Hamabe), a woman pushed into homelessness, taking care of an abandoned child. During this low point Godzilla marches ashore, pulling Japan even deeper into chaos and devastation.

Enjoy This 1984 Behind-The-Scenes Making Of Video For The Original GHOSTBUSTERS Movie

If you’re a fan of director Ivan Reitman’s 1984 movie Ghostbusters, I’ve got a behind-the-scenes making of video that you’ve got to watch! As a longtime fan of the original film, this is a video that I’m not sure I’ve ever seen before and it’s really cool to get a look at the cast and crew developing this incredible movie.

While we wait for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire to be released, I thought it’d be worth sharing this. It features members of the the cast including Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, and Rick Moranis talking about the movie and what they were looking to do with the film. It even features the VFX team working on their ghostly aspects of the movie.

Enjoy the video!

Adam Savage Transformers The Infamous DUNE: PART TWO Popcorn Bucket Into Something Cool!

That Dune: Part Two popcorn bucket might be one of the craziest popcorn buckets ever created. I’m kinda surprised that they actually pushed that monstrosity out! It got a lot of attention on social media, though! Maybe that’s what they were hoping for.

Anyway, Adam Savage got the popcorn bucket and then transformed it into something incredibly cool! You can watch the transformation process in the video from Tested below. It came with the following note:

Adam Savage takes apart the infamous Dune 2 Sandworm popcorn bucket and gives it a makeover, converting it into an Arrakis-inspired diorama complete with Ornithopter and tiny z-scale Paul Atreides! Even the sand used in the build has some special moviemaking lineage. And yes, the diorama still works as a popcorn dispenser!

Did any of you end up buying the Sandworm popcorn bucket?

Danny DeVito Makes The Perfect Wolverine in New Corridor Digital Video

The gang at Corridor Digital had a little creative fun recently by creating a video that imagines Danny DeVito as Wolverine. Using AI animation tools and heavy influence from his character Frank Reynolds from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, they replace Hugh Jackman with DeVito as Wolverine from the X-Men films.

Jallen and Matt set out to prove that Danny DeVito would make a perfect Wolverine by making their very own Wolverito. Somebody’s gonna get stabbed!

I don’t know if you remember or not, but in 2019 a petition was launched for Danny DeVito to be the next Wolverine. It read:

The only man able to take the throne after Hugh Jackman. We believe that if Wolverine is to make an appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that the only man able to pull it off is Danny DeVito.

A couple good reasons as to why I believe so strongly that he suits the character:

Danny DeVito’s height is a lot closer to the comic books portrayal of Wolverine. With Danny being 4’10” and Wolverine 5’3″.

Secondly, we all saw Danny’s portrayal of the Trashman. So, we know he is fully capable of fighting, and that he is not afraid when things get dirty!

I’ve included the complete video along with a making of video that they released. You know, DeVito really would be pretty awesome to see as Wolverine.

Fallout is the story of “haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them.”

The world of Fallout is “one where the future envisioned by Americans in the late 1940s explodes upon itself through a nuclear war in 2077. In Fallout, the harshness of the wasteland is set against the previous generation’s utopian idea of a better world through nuclear energy. It is serious in tone, yet sprinkled with moments of ironic humor and B-movie-nuclear-fantasies.”

As for the series, it is set in future post-apocalyptic Los Angeles it will tell an original story based on the Fallout games and this new story will be part of the canon of the games. 

The series comes from Westworld creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, and it stars Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins and more.

Fallout is set to arrive on Prime Video on April 12th, 2024.

MAD MAX: BEYOND THE THUNDERDOME Collectible Poster Art From Artist Casey Callender

Hero Complex Gallery has revealed some awesome collectible poster art for director George Miller’s 1985 action film Mad Max: Beyond The Thunderdome. There are two prints and both of them were wonderfully created by Casey Callender. This is some great art!

Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome is the third installment in the Mad Max franchise. The movie is set in a post-apocalyptic world, and follows the titular character, Max Rockatansky, portrayed by Mel Gibson, as he navigates the challenges of a desert wasteland. After being robbed of his belongings, Max finds his way to Bartertown, a community powered by methane gas derived from pig waste, ruled by the iron-fisted Aunty Entity, played by Tina Turner.

Max becomes embroiled in the town’s politics and is forced to fight in the Thunderdome, a gladiatorial arena where conflicts are resolved. The film’s narrative evolves as Max is exiled into the desert, where he encounters a tribe of lost children, leading to a series of events that prompt him to return to Bartertown for a final confrontation.

The posters are limited to only 250 and if you want a 24×36 print, it’ll cost you $75. The first is the Bartertown Variant and the second is the Tomorrow-Morrow Land Variant.

Two New TV Spots For GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE Show Off More Footage

“Kong can’t stop this on his own.” Here are two new TV spots for director Adam Wingard’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, and if you’re excited about the film, there’s a bit of new footage. The studio is really trying to get audiences pumped up to see this movie!

I’m really curious to see how it ends up doing at the box office during this time where audiences are being really picky about what films they spend their money on to see in theaters. Initial reactions for the movie have been mixed, but some people have enjoyed it.

In the upcoming film, “The epic battle continues! Legendary Pictures’ cinematic Monsterverse follows up the explosive showdown of Godzilla vs. Kong with an all-new adventure that pits the almighty Kong and the fearsome Godzilla against a colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world, challenging their very existence—and our own. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire delves further into the histories of these Titans and their origins, as well as the mysteries of Skull Island and beyond, while uncovering the mythic battle that helped forge these extraordinary beings and tied them to humankind forever.”

The director previously talked about the relationship between Godzilla and Kong, saying: “There’s a bit of a truce — Godzilla’s in control of the surface world and Kong is down in Hollow Earth. It wasn’t, ‘Okay, give me a call when something goes wrong, Kong. And I, Godzilla, will rush to the rescue!’ The buddy-cop dysfunctional relationship dynamic is probably the best one to describe Godzilla and Kong. My influences are always embedded with the ‘80s, and the ‘80s were prime for [that] storyline. There’s a lot of misunderstanding – the way that the monsters communicate isn’t straightforward.”

The film stars Rebecca Hall (Godzilla vs. Kong), Brian Tyree Henry (Godzilla vs. Kong), Dan Stevens (Legion), Kaylee Hottle (Godzilla vs. Kong), Alex Ferns (The Batman) and Fala Chen (Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings).

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire opens in theaters on April 12, 2024. Will you be watching the film in theaters?

Juliette Lewis, Kathryn Newton and Others Join Woody Harrelson and Owen Wilson in 1984 Olympics Thriller LIPS LIKE SUGAR

Filming is kicking off this month in LA on neo-noir thriller Lips Like Sugar, which will star Oscar-nominees Woody Harrelson and Owen Wilson. Juliette Lewis (Yellowjackets), Sasha Calle (The Flash), Kathryn Newton (Big Little Lies) and Erin Moriarty (The Boys) have joined the cast of the movie which is set against the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

Harrelson and Wilson will play detectives John Carr and Phil Harris, a pair of homicide cops working to solve a possible serial killer case while police and city officials demand that all murders in LA be labeled Missing Persons until the Olympic torch is doused and the international media has left town. The detectives’ paths cross with Tracy Anderson and Andi Campos (Newton and Calle), a pair of teenage girls that have formed a fast and intense friendship, with Montana transplant Tracy recently arrived in town with her mother (Lewis) and enamored of all things Hollywood. When Tracy disappears, Carr, Harris and Andi race a ticking clock to find her. 

Music video director Brantley Gutierrez (Paul McCartney: Who Cares) is helming. The script is written by Anthony Tambakis (Warrior). Oscar nominee Win Butler of Arcade Fire fame is set to compose the score.

This is an incredible cast, and it sounds like it will be a great mystery thriller. Stay tuned for more updates as the project moves forward.
