We have sadly been informed of the death of Koichi Kawakita a long-serving Toho special effects expert.
Kawakita’s work in the world of kaiju can be seen in the Heisei-era revival, beginning with Godzilla VS Biollante and ending with Godzilla VS Destoroyah. The new miniature effects and action sequences created by Kawakita during these films marked a tremendous step forward for the series, with some fans still considering this the greatest Godzilla era ever.
Koichi Kawakita was 72 years old. May he rest in peace…
An article in Cinema Today reveals that Toho Studios is planning a brand-new live-action Godzilla film, to be released in 2016!
Thanks to Legendary Pictures version of the iconic character (released last summer, to mixed reviews but financial success), fan support for the King of the Monsters is at an all-time high, and a revival became possible thanks to that.
No cast or crew details are known at this time but Toho has confirmed that this will be unrelated to the Gareth Edwards version and that projects’ previously announced sequel.
Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Godzilla movie details!
