Godzilla Resurrection (2018): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 2018, Godzilla Resurrection is a thriller, science-fiction, horror and action film directed by The Movie Maestro, running about 113 minutes.

What it’s about. This is a hybrid cut of both the original Japanese version The Return of Godzilla and Godzilla 1985, meant to combine the best aspects of both. This re-edit seeks to accomplish a happy medium between the two versions. The film will still be highly critical of both the United States and the Soviet Union, and will work to marginalize the more humorous aspects of the added Pentagon scenes. Their inclusion will fit better with the bureaucratic behind-the-scenes narrative of the original cut, and most additional music from the American cut will be included. All Japanese dialogue will remain intact, with English subtitles. Finally, this cut will feature a brand new opening to the film, one that seeks to definitely tie the new Godzilla to the original beast in an eerie and unforgettable way. In short, Godzilla: Resurrection will aim to be my definitive version of the return of the King of the Monsters.

Who’s in it. Godzilla Resurrection stars Raymond Burr as Steve Martin, Keiju Kobayashi as Prime Minister Mitamura, Ken Tanaka as Goro Maki and Yasuko Sawaguchi as Naoko Okumura, among others.
