The kaiju version of..."The Notebook"???



OK, we definitely weren't expecting this. A bunch of pictures got released today that apparently came from the set of what's being called the Japanese version of the beloved romantic tragedy film "The Notebook". Except it stars kaiju, and takes place in Southern California. And who's in it but our old friends Godzilla and King Ghidorah.


From the looks of the background, it appears that the movie is being shot somewhere in Elysian Park in L.A. If genuine, this is definitely the most unusual twist ever put on a monster flick.


There are obviously a lot of questions surrounding this apparent project. For starters, just what kind of love story is this? Is it a pairing, or a foursome? Is it a transgender tokusatsu one, a LGBTQ kaiju one, or what? King Ghidorah has never been 100% straight (if you'll forgive the pun) about their sexuality in the press, so this could get quite interesting.


BTW, don't go looking for the swing these two were chumming it up on. Word says that it was destroyed during production when Godzilla accidentally let fly a nuclear pulse. That's some awfully potent gas you've got, big guy.


No word yet on any release date, but they're no doubt looking for some buzz at Cannes. We of course will keep you posted.
