Sinopsis

You&rsquo,ve seen books dedicated to the special effects ofáJapanese monster movies, but this is perhaps the first tome to take an in-depth look at both the writers and the writing process behind these films. This book charts the wild developmental process of all of Japan&rsquo,s many monster films. Learn how Gamera was born when the Daiei Studios president looked out his airplane window and saw a cloud shaped like a turtle, how King Kong vs. Godzilla began as King Kong vs. Frankenstein, and how Ultraman originally started out with the name and design of one his future opponents! Discover a floppy-eared Godzilla, a blue-scaled, rainbow-winged King Ghidorah, and a transforming Mechagodzilla! Marvel at Gorgo&rsquo,s roots as a Japanese co-production called Kuru Island, puzzle at a version of Godzilla 1985 starring Leslie Nielsen rather than Raymond Burr, thrill to Mothra&rsquo,s secret origin in The Luminous Fairies and Mothra, and be amazed at Miki Saegusa&rsquo,s surprising backstory in an early treatment for Godzilla vs. Biollante. And that&rsquo,s not all, this book has bios on writers like Shinichi Sekizawa, Niisan Takahashi, Yukiko Takayama, and Kazuki Omori, plus appendices including a comprehensive script guide and comparisons between the films and their manga adaptations!áá
