The kaiju must battle! SRS Cinema has revealed a short official trailer for War of the Ninja Monsters: Jaron vs Goura, a homemade kaiju movie from Japanese filmmaker Shinpei Hayashiya. It’s set for a Blu-ray release this summer from SRS Cinema – available to pre-order already on their site now. Hayashiya has been making super low budget, modern monster battle movies for years, also of the Reigo / Raiga / Ohga series (Reigo vs. Yamato and Raiga: The Monster from the Deep Sea) before this. The ninja monsters Jaron and Goura appear in the city of Chichibu, and rival ninja clans manipulate the ninja beasts into a fierce battle. The cast and crew includes suit actros Mizuho Yoshida (Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, Zeiram) and Akihiko Ohashi (Gamera 2: Attack Of Legion, Gamera 3: Revenge Iris), cinematographer / VFX / editor Masayuki Nagata, composer Yasuhiro Ueda, monster designer Shinji Nishikawa (Godzilla vs Biollante, Godzilla 2000), suit and prop makers Naofumi Kanamori and Tomohiro Matsumoto, and many others. This looks fun! I suppose the clunky look & feel is supposed to be an homage to all the classic Gojira / kaiju movies. If you love those movies, this one is for you. Have fun. // Continue Reading ›
