American Cinematheque and Beyond Fest Team Up For GODZILLA Six-Film Marathon This Weekend!

Shout

This Saturday at the Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles, CA, Beyond Fest will be co-presenting a six-film Godzilla marathon with American Cinematheque beginning at 1 pm and going until the final fiery breath is drawn! Included in the marathon are Godzilla: The Japanese Original, Destroy All Monsters, Godzilla’s Revenge, Godzilla vs Monster Zero, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla, and Godzilla vs Megalon. All films will be shown on 35mm, except for the original 1954 film, which will be shown via digital DCP.

More information, including ticket purchase options, can be found via American Cinematheque.

This is the perfect opportunity to see several classic Godzilla titles before Mike Dougherty’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters hits theaters on May 31. The sequel to Gareth Edwards’ 2012 Godzilla, the new film sees the titular kaiju take on several other titanic monstrosities.

Members of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species thought to be mere myths-rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity’s very existence hanging in the balance.

Directed by Trick ‘r Treat and Krampus‘ Michael Dougherty, who co-wrote the film with Zach Shields, Godzilla: King of the Monsters stars Vera Farmiga, Ken Watanabe, Sally Hawkins, Kyle Chandler, Millie Bobby Brown, Bradley Whitford, Thomas Middleditch, Charles Dance, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Aisha Hinds, and Zhang Ziyi.
