Godzilla vs. Hedorah director Yoshimitsu Banno is seeking investors for a proposed Gamera 3-D movie that is scheduled to be produced next year with the cooperation of Kadokawa Pictures.

Banno is seeking individual investors who would invest 15 million yen to the project.

To clarify, here's what 15 million yen is in today's dollar/yen exchange rate:

15,000,000.00 JPY = 184,430.41 USD

This means that an American investor would have to come up with $184,430.41 (simple, eh?).

Currently, Banno is executive producer of Godzilla 3-D that is being produced by Legendary Pictures and Warner Brothers. It is slated to be released in 2012.
