This Coming May, 1998’s ‘Godzilla’ Stomps Onto 4K Ultra HD

Published

on

Just a couple weeks before Michael Dougherty’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters is unleashed into theaters, we’ve learned this week that Sony will be capitalizing on the Big G’s renewed relevance with a 4K Ultra HD release of Roland Emmerich’s Godzilla, the oft-maligned Kaiju flick from 1998 that starred Matthew Broderick and, well, an interesting looking King.

(There are things I do like about the film but yeah, it’s mostly a big ole dud.)

Godzilla has been remastered in 4K from the original camera negative with High Dynamic Range and a Dolby Atmos soundtrack, with the following special features included:

  • Audio commentary by visual effects supervisor Volker Engel and associate visual effects supervisor Karen Goulekas
  • Behind the scenes of Godzilla with Charles Caiman
  • All-Time Best-of Godzilla Fight Scenes
  • “Heroes” music video by The Wallflowers

Godzilla hits 4K Ultra HD (+ Blu-ray + Digital) on May 14th.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones.

The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences.
