    “Godzilla, a weapon of science, a great battle of wonder and terror! “

    To celebrate the 70th Anniversary for Ishiro Honda’s iconic monster movie “Godzilla” or Gojira to give it its correct title, Bottleneck Gallery have released in association with TOHO Studios a remastered version of the original, country of origin Japanese B2 used in 1954 to promote the film in Japan. As to be expected the modern printing techniques have helped to create a stunning, updated poster, with this limited edition offering further enhanced by being printed on a foil paper. This adds a real depth to the overall effect and allows the lighter colours to shimmer when viewed from different angles – giving the effect of movement. Hand-Numbered #23 of only 100 it presents to excellent effect and is a perfect example of why alternative movie posters are becoming so collectable.

    Trivia: A common misconception is that the name of Godzilla was created by its U.S. distributors. The name was actually the idea of Toho and its international sales division, who would transliterate “Gojira” (Go-ji-ra) into English as “Godzilla” (Go-dzi-lla”).
