I went wandering by the official Gamera website a couple days back wondering if there was anything up from the new film yet but other than that picture to the left all was bare. Apparently I jumped the gun by a day or so because the keen eyed folk at KFC have spotted the trailer and the website is now fully functional. Rumblings were that this would be a kinder, gentler, more kid friendly incarnation of the giant fire breathing turtle and you can consider those rumors confirmed ...
Trailer. (Streaming Windows Media)
What the hell was that?
Makes me wonder why they chose to go this route after the Shusuke Kaneko series did so well.
But the trailer was pretty funny.
Hurrah! Gamera has returned. For he is friend to all children! There he goes! Here!
Poor dubbing curtesy of Sandy Frank. Seriously though, with a more child friendly Gamera, does that mean we have to have one of them Japanese kids with the short shorts running around government bases unchecked and explaining to the well-educated scientists what is going on and what they can do to stop the monster. Cause I can't get enough of that...
