This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | King Kong vs. Godzilla (キングコング対ゴジラ, Kingu Kongu tai Gojira) is a 1962 tokusatsu kaiju film directed by Ishiro Honda and written by Shinichi Sekizawa, with special effects by Eiji Tsuburaya. Produced by Toho, it is the third installment in the Godzilla series as well as the Showa series. It stars Tadao Takashima, Kenji Sahara, Yu Fujiki, Ichiro Arishima, Jun Tazaki, Akihiko Hirata, Mie Hama, and Akiko Wakabayashi. The film was released to Japanese theaters by Toho on August 11, 1962,[4] as a part of Toho's 30th anniversary celebration. The idea for the film originated when independent producer John Beck approached Toho with a screenplay by George Worthing Yates titled King Kong vs. Prometheus, based on a story treatment by original King Kong stop motion animator Willis O'Brien. Toho acquired the rights to use Kong from RKO Pictures and Universal, though O'Brien received no credit nor compensation for his idea. Beck produced an altered English-language version of the film for markets outside of Asia, which was released to American theaters by Universal International on June 26, 1963. |
