“War of the Ninja Monsters: Jaron vs Goura” not only has a trailer out, but the movie poster is just gorgeous. It was designed by Jeff Zornow of “Godzilla: Rulers Of Earth,” and “Godzilla In Hell” fame. Of course, you had me a Japanese Kaiju monsters, and that the film is from Shinpei Hayashiya, director of the “Reigo: King Of The Sea Monsters,” “Raiga: God Of The Monsters,” and “God Raiga vs. King Ohga.” It’s certainly not going to win any big special awards, but this movie looks entertaining as hell! It has all of the vitals: Kaiju monsters battling it out and the cast and crew are Japanese. With the recent “Godzilla Minus One” Oscar win, and Apple TV’s “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters,” Kaiju is is popular as ever.
The plot sounds fun. Two men, tired from work, visit the town of Chichibu to enjoy their favorite hobby – exploring caves. But little do they know, the town has been secretly protected by the descendants of the righteous Shinobi ninja since the Sengoku period. The two unlucky friends accidentally break a spell that awakens two colossal beasts, Jaron and Goura. The area’s rival clans manipulate them into a fierce battle, bringing chaos to the area. But a righteous female ninja steps up, wanting to stop the destruction and restore the seal. Can she defeat the evil ninjas that stand in her way before Chichibu is completely destroyed by two kaiju?
The cast and crew includes suit actors Mizuho Yoshida (Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, Zeiram) and Akihiko Ohashi (Gamera 2: Attack Of Legion, Gamera 3: Revenge Of Iris), cinematographer/VFX/editor Masayuki Nagata (Atami Monster), composer Yasuhiro Ueda (Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey, UltraMan Zero vs. Darklops Zero), monster designer Shinji Nishikawa (Godzilla vs. Biollante, Godzilla 2000), suit and prop makers Naofumi Kanamori and Tomohiro Matsumoto (Reigo: King Of The Sea Monsters), CG producer Kazuya Hayashi (Reigo: King Of The Sea Monsters), CG assistant Ryoichi Nakajima, props/poster/logo designer Ichiro Murakami, special effects assistant Yutaka Arai (Hayashiya’s previous works), and still photographer Akihiko Nawajima (Kamen Rider Zo, Shin Godzilla).
“War of the Ninja Monsters: Jaron vs Goura” looks like it will be an entertaining watch for any Kaiju fan.
