‘Godzilla’ Lawsuit Looks Trial-Bound After Court Denies Arbitration Request
From Deadline
The legal battle between Legendary Pictures and producers Roy Lee, Dan Lin and Doug Davison over the Godzilla reboot seems more and more certain to be headed to trial. “We’re not interested in arbitration, we want a jury to hear this case”, said the producers’ lawyer Stanton L. Stein in a hearing today in LA Superior Court. With his clients Lee and Lin looking on, Stein made clear that a jury trial is still his goal despite an agreement today by all parties to pursue mediation. “I understand why they don’t want public scrutiny of this case. I understand why they don’t want their behavior being made public”, he added of Legendary’s efforts to have the case moved to private arbitration.

From My San Antonio
A good reason to catch Matt Frank at a convention: The “Godzilla” artist tends to whip up a cool print of the kaiju just special for the event. Case in point: this dynamic Godzilla vs. Power Rangers poster for Comicpalooza, which runs May 24-26 in Houston.
Frank’s print features Godzilla taking on the mighty Megazord, a giant Voltron-like robot that stomped into the debut episode of “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.” Megazord is a combination of Dinozord battle machines, which are piloted by those colorful Power Rangers of the ’90s TV series. Behind the Megazord lurks Dragonzord, even more eye candy for Power Rangers fans and more trouble for our favorite movie monster.

The Guy in the Godzilla Suit Was a True Actor
From Man Cave Daily
Kaiju (giant monster) movies have been around for decades, and with the release of Pacific Rim just around the corner, we wanted to pay tribute to perhaps the greatest actor to have ever lived, Haruo Nakajima AKA the guy in the Godzilla costume.
Though that statement may seem a little, presumptuous, we’re not kidding when we say that Haruo probably worked harder than any actor in history. For starters Haruo has a list of film roles longer than a male giraffe’s nether regions, most of which involved him wearing a 200 pound Godzilla costume.
That’s not an understatement we’re making, the original costume from Haruo’s most famous role in the OG Godzilla movie weighed in excess of 200 pounds. If you want to experience what that feels like, try wearing your sofa as a coat then having a guy dressed as a gorilla drop kick you in the small of the back.
