Godzilla going away!

Say it isn't so!!! From CNN/Entertainment comes the sad news: bq. Godzilla taking a break -- for now Five decades after Godzilla first rose from the ocean, this monstrous movie star is about to take a break from show business. bq. Hit by slumping box office sales for the iconic series, Japan's Toho Co. is planning to shelve its Godzilla films after this year's finale. bq. Toho studios' executive producer, Shogo Tomiyama, said Thursday that the latest movie -- marking 28 releases and 50 years of "Godzilla" films -- would probably be the last one for at least a decade. At least there is a chance for a reprieve. He is a classic and will be sorely missed. Posted by DaveH at March 5, 2004 12:47 PM
