Hello, the new big-G film
As of yet, no details have been released which I know of. All i know is ILM may be handling the monster effects, and that it will be a reboot. Maybe more info will come out soon, but for now we can only speculate.

I think its going to be a joint venture, with Toho supervising it.

So, my question is, whats a good place to start? I'm thinking Godzilla Vs. MechaGodzilla II and the Heise Era Gamera movies. If I jump into Godzilla Vs. MechaGodzilla II will I miss anything? I'm sure I would fill in the details myself, but I'd rather have the full picture...

This was the plan all along.
A few more questions, where's a good online retailer to pick up some of the old flicks on DVD? Any good boxed sets out there? Are there any releases I should stay away from?
Also, S.H. MonsterArts line caught my eye. There'll be no turning back for me now!

as for releases...stay away from the 90's era two packs. (if you can) You can't have the original Japanese voices on any of them and their quality leaves a lot to be desired.
I have all of them except Terror of Mechagodzilla and the 80's remake of Godzilla. (Not the American one)

Is there a 90's era box set with both English and Japanese? I thought the box set that was released only had a repackage of the 2-packs?
Either way, finding the 90's movies in official Region 1 with Japanese voice will be impossible. As far as I know, none of them have been released that way. Besides, Godzilla 1985(Return of Godzilla) and Godzilla vs. Biollante are VHS only in America(if I'm wrong, please correct me!!). And Godzilla 1985 is quite Americanized, and has some scenes switched around, including editing a crutial scene. Still, it's the only way I've seen it.
However, Dark Horse Publishing did release a TPB of the Manga adaptation of Return of
Godzilla during the mid 90's that is pretty good.
Still, the 90's series is pretty good and has some continuity throughout, and the only older Godzilla you'd need to see would be the original before 85/Return of Godzilla. It ignores everything else in between.
The "Millenium" series of movies follows a similar trend: They're all stand alone sequals to the original Gojira (save for Tokyo S.O.S., which is a direct continuation from X Mechagodzilla).
