More huge news for cult movie fans from Shout! Factory, who look to be keeping pretty busy this year.
Word is currently coming down the pipeline that the company has officially licensed the entire Showa Gamera (1965’s Daikaiju Gamera through 1980’s Uchu Kaiju Gamera) series for release domestically on DVD and will reportedly be working from the latest HD transferred elements. Right now news is slim, though Monster Island News reported roughly two months ago that the company is / was on the lookout for 35mm elements for the American cut of the first Gamera feature.
At present only the first film is listed for pre-order at Amazon.com, with May 18, 2010 as the scheduled release date – Gamera: The Giant Monster
