A gala event for Godzilla was held today in Tokyo.
Japan Today reported:
TOKYO —Tokyo is rolling out the red carpet for Hollywood’s “Godzilla” remake although the nation that gave birth to the fire-breathing monster is seeing the latest movie after it opened everywhere else.
“Godzilla,” opening in the U.S. May 16, has grossed more than $488 million globally.
But trepidation remains about its reception in Japan because of the intense loyalty fans feel toward the original. The film opens in Japan on July 25.
Director Gareth Edwards, present in Tokyo for the gala Thursday, stressed he had merely parented what was the child of Japan.
“It feels like a homecoming,” said Edwards. “His home is Japan.”
Ken Watanabe, whose “Godzilla” role is one of several appearances in Hollywood films, acknowledged pressure was high for how the film may be received in Japan.To read the full article, go here.
