At the SDCC Legendary panel, Director Gareth Edwards announced that he will be back to direct Godzilla two, and then show the attendees at the panel a teaser featuring “historical” footage and a voiceover by JFK revealing that there are more threats out there as the names of creatures flashed on the screen, they were: Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah.
Gareth will be directing another film before tackling Godzilla 2.
Straight from the just concluded Shout Factory SDCC panel we have a huge official announcement from the company. A complete series release of Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, fully subbed, is happening!
That’s right folks, the show from which Mighty Morphin Power Rangers drew it’s source material will be released on a complete series DVD set with full subtitles! And chances are that with Shout Factory’s history of including incredible extras, this set will have some great surprises! When asked about the release itself Shout Factory’s Brian Ward confirmed that this was Saban Brands idea. So this came directly from them, as in Saban approached Shout Factory about putting this release together.
While at the panel we also asked about the black sheep of the Saban Tokusatsu family, Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog. This often forgotten but excellent series is a personal favorite of mine and I was curious as to whether it could ever see a release. Brian Ward put it this way, there are legal rights issues to releasing certain series such as Mystic Knights and he went on to specifically mention that Masked Rider falls into that same category. The rights for shows like this don’t necessarily sit in Saban Brands hands, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they won’t happen.

It’s a busy week for the hosts of the Talkin Toku Podcast!
Joining Kickback/Chris, Den-O/Jordan, and Sentai Tamashii/Tom is none other than Deefuzz/Dan, known for his work with the PreOrder 66 Podcast. This means the entire news team covering this year’s SDCC is altogether for a podcast to discuss everything they’re looking forward to at SDCC 2014!
First things first – the group shares their thoughts and reactions to the news of Roberto Orci as the executive producer for the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie. Is it good news or bad news? How can he take the premise of Power Rangers and turn it in to a successful movie franchise? The guys discuss!
The topic quickly turns to SDCC 2014 – the guys talk about the coverage plans, tease at some stuff they can’t announce that are planned for SDCC 2014, and of course, they talk toys – what toys they want, what toys they don’t want, etc. Are any of them planning to grab the Bandai of America toys this year? And exactly what secret item is Kickback/Chris planning to bring home to his lady friend?
The show ends with the group discussing conventions in general and in specific TFCon Chicago, where they make plans on-air to attend the show together. D’aww.
