Talk:Reigo: King of the Sea Monsters

2005 vs 2008

I Thought this film came out in 2005 i recall vague memories of such so why is it listed 2008? I am confused.--Zillaman98 (talk) 16:36, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Here's what SciFi Japan said: "On November 3 and 5, 2005, Option Inc. held the first screenings of DEEP SEA MONSTER- REIGO at the American Film Market. The film was shown in Japanese with English subtitles. According to a written statement from Executive Producer Toshiro Iyoki that was handed out at the AFM screenings, Option showed a "pre-production version" of REIGO that had some unfinished computer graphics and sound effects. The company expected to have post-production completed by the end of 2005 with the finished film being released in Japan the following year." Since it was unfinished (and played at an industry event besides), we treat 2008, the year the finished film premiered, as the release date.--Astounding Beyond Belief (talk) 16:51, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Ok that explains it thank you but i must ask on a somewhat unrelated note.

Why is colossal listed as 2016 if it was widely released in 2017 not really related but im wondering why did the film festival showing count for that film and not Reigo? Im aware reigo wasnt finished but colossal was.--Zillaman98 (talk) 17:06, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

You answered your own question there.--Astounding Beyond Belief (talk) 17:33, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
