GODZILLA & THE MONSTERS OF MASS DESTRUCTION: April 8th-10th, 2011!

Описание: IMPORTANT NOTICE! NEW VENUE & LOCATION: MONSTERPALOOZA CONVENTION, APRIL 8th-10th, 2011 @ THE BURBANK AIRPORT MARRIOTT HOTEL, BURBANK, CA!

This coming spring, the man who played the original Godzilla — all the way from Japan — Haruo Nakajima, will stomp into Burbank for the third annual Monsterpalooza horror film celebration, taking place April 8, 9 & 10, 2011 at the Marriott Convention Center.

After 11 years, Mr. Nakajima will return to California to meet with his fans and sign autographs during the three-day Monsterpalooza event. He will also be speaking about his experiences in bringing these characters to life — including the various accidents and injuries he sustained while taking on the roles of Rodan, Varan, Baragon, Green Gargantua, and many other titanic terrors, as — arguably — the world's foremost monster suit actor.

"Mr. Nakajima starred anonymously in one of the greatest movie franchises in history — from the somber allegories of the 1950s to the colorful monster mashes of the 1960s. For many westerners, these films stimulated an interest in Japan, with Godzilla serving as a surrogate cultural ambassador — largely thanks to his performances. Mr. Nakajima is a living legend, and bringing him to Monsterpalooza is an honor, and he's looking forward to meeting American fans," said August Ragone, author of Eiji Tsuburaya: Master of Monsters.

Monsterpalooza, organized by Eliot Brodsky, has quickly become the premiere gathering of fans of creature features in the US. Having hosted scores of actors from classic films, this will be the show's first guest from Japan — a great opportunity for monster mavens to meet the one-and-only Godzilla himself, Haruo Nakajima — truly making this Monsterpalooza an international event!
