Hollywood #GODZILLA and Japan GODZILLA To Evolve Together Says Godzilla Strategic Conference Head PM, Akito Takahashi--

TOHO's Akito Takahashi says "the company, which licenses its characters and consults on the Legendary films, is happy with the westernized blockbusters." PT1

(Continuing) -- ""We love the Hollywood Godzilla, we think it's really an honor that they wanted to sort of remake their Hollywood version," Takahashi says. "It's so different. We're going to continue that branding and that type of Godzilla universe to expand even more. " PT2

(Continuing) -- "However, the Japanese Godzilla has 29 movies that have already come out. It's a very specific type of Godzilla universe, so we're probably going to see both of them sort of evolving as we go. We just love that there's two sides of Godzilla." --Part 3 #GODZILLA

There have been several sequels in the Toho canon, but in an era of cinematic universes, with some far more successful than others, Takahashi says Toho isn't going to force any multi-movie throughline.

"To be honest, it's probably going to be up to the creators and the directors

According to Takahashi, this is only the beginning.

"One of the things that really works with Godzilla is [his] relevance in our times right now and there's so many different angles to use Godzilla, in such different ways, whether it's visually or with new stories," he says. --

"--- Godzilla just has a lot of width in general as a character, so we're just really excited to see what will come next." (END) #GODZILLA #SDCC syfy.com/syfywire/tohos…
