PENNY BLOOD (an interviewer): You were quoted as saying, “that you renamed Hollywood’s 1998 version of the monster ‘Zilla’ because they took the God out of Godzilla.” When I read that quote, I interpreted it to be a slam against Hollywood’s Godzilla (1998.) I’m getting the impression now that your statement was referring to the “spiritual interpretation” of Godzilla in Japan verses Hollywood’s “monster interpretation.” It really wasn’t meant as a putdown. Is that correct?

SHOGO TOMIYAMA (the guy who is in charge of the Godzilla franchise): Yes, because Hollywood’s Godzilla is just a normal monster He’s not a God. Hollywood treated Godzilla as a live monster or live animal. They shot him down with missiles and all that."

Part of the interview of Shogo Tomiyama and an Ryuhei Kitamura.

Two important guys at Toho confirmed the Zilla Name Change in an interview.



Ryuhei and Shogo were the ones who renamed Zilla.

What do you think about this proof?
