BigBadBen,

Thanks. Info added. Ultraviolet has also been added as a special feature for the Sony releases.

Found by a fan on Facebook. It gives a release date for Godzilla. Lets not jump the gun though. I'm still looking to see how trustworthy it is.

A new source is now claiming the United Kingdom release date for Godzilla '14 is December 1st. It does not, however, quote a source to verify it:

For those who don't know, Echo Bridge's Godzilla vs. Biollante DVD/Bluray is officially out-of-print. But recently this has been popping up around the fandom:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LVZK1LG

It looks like Lionsgate may be releasing a new version of the movie this October. I'm reaching out to a few sources to confirm this. Stay tuned.

Good to hear that there is going to be another re-release of Biollante. I haven't got that one on bluray yet, and whenever I see it online (eBay or Amazon), it's always been sold for around USD 50 or more. Let's hope that this re-release retains all the extras on Echobridge version (the original pressing, not the later pressing with two other unrelated movies)

Destroy All Monsters was listed for July 22 on Amazon but now says Aug 26. Wonder whats up there?

Adrian,
Yeah, it will most likely just be Echobridge's disc distributed by Lionsgate. There's also a chance it might include an audio commentary that was recorded for the disc, but omitted at last minute due to time constraints. This is of course if the Lionsgate thing is true.

Wraith,
Disappointing, but not surprising. Media Blasters is one of the most unprofessional distribution companies out there. They have a track record of pushing back releases with no explaination or proper announcement.

Bad news for those waiting on the Godzilla vs. Megalon and Destroy All Monsters discs, you'll have to wait a little longer. This comes from Media Blaster's facebook page:

"Godzilla BDs have been keeping us really busy and glad to say that both are done and just waiting for Toho approval. I believe they will see the light of day by end of August."

So apparently both movies have been pushed to mid-August.

Still no confirmation on Godzilla vs. Biollante yet.

This truely sucks. After their last attempt ended up being pulled from the market, it's a safe bet TOHO will drag their feet as long as possible or just flat out say NO. Also Gman, I saw a few forums mention rumors Shout! Factory got the rights to Son / MechaG. I and praying this is not true. I am almost deaf. Shout and all their off shoot companies DO NOT caption/subtitle their content at all. They claim it is too expensive. I had a very insensative reply from them once saying "Can't you just turn it up"? Really??!!

Yeah I've heard about Shout!Factory's captioning policy. That's some awful customer service on their part as well. Apologies. But if they want to appeal to fans at all they're going to have to release the films in Japanese which means they'll have no choice but to at least subtitle the content.

Their Japanese Transformers series were all subtitled and some of the subtitle lines even had captions for noises, which is something I don't really see on 'sub only' options. So if Shout! did pick them up there might be hope. I'll do some digging for you.

I'm guessing you haven't bought Shout Factory's DVD releases of Gamera? They released those movies with subtitle tracks. In fact, for the first two movies, that's the only option available due to rights issues. And while I haven't bought either, I'm assuming that their releases of Ultra Q and Ultra Seven have subtitles as well.

GMAN, thank you.

Angzilla, after that response I will NOT give that company one cent of my money. I have the entire classic gamera collection on the new Mill Creek 2 set blus and the three newer ones on the same label. I will stoop to bootlegs before I will ever buy from them again. Gonna be really upset if you guys tells me Mill Creek is a Shout! company! lmao

What's your beef with Shout Factory? Like I said, they released the classic Gamera movies on DVD with subtitles (and unlike Mill Creek Entertainment and their classic Gamera Blu-Rays, those releases weren't completely barebones and didn't compress four movies onto a single disc).

As for whether or not they're a Shout Factory company (again, not sure why this company is so taboo in your eyes), according to Wikipedia (not a reliable source, I know, but cut me some slack), they have licensing deals with a ton of different companies, including Shout Factory.

FYI, the back covers of the next titles of Sony's "The Toho Godzilla Collection" can be previewed here:

I am almost deaf. As a hearing impaired person I wrote a email to Shout! Factory asking why they don't caption their content and got back a very blunt rude response saying that it was too expensive, that only a small amount of people need them anyway and then asked why i couldn't just turn it up. It was uncalled for and I should have went after the person who sent it with a higher up person. If your not hearing impaired then I can't explain it to you. It's not just turning up the volume trust me. They release more stuff than just kaiju movies. Most of the transformers first and second gen, beastwars and Prime are caption free. I can go on and on. I mean no disrespect to you at all but I'm not going to start an argument here so please just drop it. It's a off topic subject anyway.

Amazon now accepts pre-orders for Lion's Gate forthcoming re-release of Godzilla vs. Biollante. The price is USD 10.49 (discounted from its original USD 14.99 price)

Gman..are there any infos or rumors regarding the content of this re-release? If it's a bare bones release, I'd rather go for the Echo Bridge version instead.

Adrian,
Still nothing on the new Godzilla vs. Biollante bluray. Or even if it's real. I caution that Amazon accepting pre-orders means very little. When the first Godzilla vs. Megalon Bluray was supposed to hit, pre-orders were still in play even though Media Blasters had said it would on hold indefinately.

It's a catch 22 at the moment. The longer you wait for more info on the Lionsgate release, the more likely the Echobridge disc will go up in price. And if you buy the Echobridge disc and find out the Lionsgate release is real, then you've most likely spent way more money on the movie.

My sources are tying to dig for any information, but I don't have a lot of connections with Lionsgate.
