<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>THAT'S RIGHT. THE LOST FILMS IS BACK. And like a Heisei era Godzilla foe, it's mutated into its second, bigger, badder form. And it's got it all: Adam West battling the Big G in BATMAN MEETS GODZILLA? Check. A DAIMAJIN remake starring Steven Seagal? It almost happened. Ultraman teaming with a monkey monster in Thailand's 6 ULTRA BROTHERS VS. THE MONSTER ARMY? Yep, it exists--even if Tsuburaya Productions wishes it didn't. <br /> This book covers: </p><p>Unproduced scripts like BRIDE OF GODZILLA? (1955), GAMERA VS. THE ICE MEN FROM OUTER SPACE (1966), ULTRAMAN: OPERATION GIANT (1966), OPERATION ROBINSON CRUSOE: KING KONG VS. EBIRAH (1966), GAMERA VS. TWO-HEADED MONSTER W (1971), THE TIME MACHINE II (1979), GODZILLA, KING OF THE MONSTERS IN 3-D (1983), IT ATE CLEVELAND! (1984), COO FROM A DISTANT SEA (1989), MOTHRA VS. BAGAN (1990), GAMERA VS. PHOENIX (1993), GODZILLA VS. GHOST GODZILLA (1995), YAMATO TAKERU 2 (1997), and HEDORAH VS. MIDORA (2017). </p><p>Films that came close to shooting like THE VOLCANO MONSTERS (1957), which Toho produced new monster suits for, and NESSIE (1976-1979)--an aborted team-up between Hammer and Toho that sunk itself in the seventies. </p><p>Partially shot productions such as Daiei's GIANT HORDE BEAST NEZURA (1963), which had to be shut down when real rats overran the studio. </p><p>Banned films like ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN (1955), GREAT PROPHECIES OF NOSTRADAMUS (1974), and JUMBORG ACE AND GIANT (1974). </p><p>Fan films like the ambitious, still in production LEGENDARY GIANT BEAST WOLFMAN VS. GODZILLA (1983-present) and GAMERA 4: TRUTH (2003). </p><p>Oddities like the Italian colorized version of GODZILLA (1978) codenamed "COZZILLA" and even ATTACK OF THE GALACTIC MONSTERS (1983) and SPACE WARRIORS 2000 (1985)!</p><p> </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"LeMay's engaging prose and painstaking research make this book a must-have for kaiju fans. Great fun and tons of revelations throughout!"--Mike Bogue, author of <em>Apocalypse Then: American and Japanese Atomic Cinema, 1951-1967</em><br /> "Truly an amazing piece of work."--J.D. Lees, Editor of <em>G-Fan</em> <br /> "As close as I have felt to being that kid in the movie store again."--Colin McMahon, <br /> <em>ATTACK! of the B-Movie Monsters</em><br /> </p><br>
