Taguchi also made the monster and robot suits for G with Kakusei Fujiwara, another Godzilla series veteran whose credits include ZATOICHI and CASSHERN. Kiyotaka Taguchi has provided SciFi Japan with an exclusive look at G that includes story details, cast and crew information, behind the scenes photos, promotional art, and dozens of screen shots from the film. Everything (including some minor spoilers) is now online at: http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2008/06/29/g-new-independent-kaiju-film-from-japan/ Like Avery mentioned, “G” was made by Kiyotaka Taguchi, an FX artist who has worked on the recent Godzilla movies from GMK to FINAL WARS plus BATTLE ROYALE II, SINKING OF JAPAN, and THE GRUDGE 2.

Pity about the acting. That is often the main problem with small, fan-based productions. When they have "professionals" involved, such productions generally seem to be driven by directors and technical people rather than actors. Do we know who the director is? Kiyotaka Taguchi himself perhaps? Thanks for that info, Avery. Pity about the acting. That is often the main problem with small, fan-based productions.

Keith Akin of 'Sci-Fi Japan said: "G is an indie movie that was made by by a special effects filmmaker who has worked on studio pictures. This was his own project and he raised the money to make it himself. The acting is by non-professionals and is pretty poor. The fx are hit and miss, but I admire the variety of different techniques used and some of the shots are imaginative and excellent. G also has several intentionally funny moments. The robot design is supposed to be humorous." Hmmmn?? Makes me wonder if this is that small new kaiju film that Norman England mentioned that Kiyotaka Taguchi was working on in an interview with 'Kensforce' some time back????
