Hello, could I please ask do you remember an old planned fan film called Godzilla: Zero Hour? A member of the wiki called Gorogera has rediscovered a trailer that was produced for it but thought lost for years https://youtu.be/e8hatHQp84o
Could I please ask, do you think Zero hour is eligible for a page on the wiki? I am unfamiliar with the protocol regarding fan films
They have to meet certain standards of notability; acknowledgment by studios and/or participation by people who have worked on official kaiju movies are what we look for in particular. For what amounted to an overly ambitious student film, Godzilla Zero Hour received a lot of attention from the Western fandom (more than it would have without the Godzilla series on hiatus, if you ask me). But it was never finished, and the only episode they showed at G-Fest has never turned up elsewhere, making it difficult to summarize. So I'm not completely sure this project meets our standards.
If you're interested, I saved a lot of the photos they released. I was exactly the right age to think Zero Hour was the coolest thing ever when it was in the works.
Thank you for explaining this to me, indeed the lack of in depth eyewitness accounts or summaries from the creator(s) could be a major roadblock. I remember all the attention and excitement Zero Hour garnered back during those days, it was huge
Also I would love to see those photos! Thank you

Oh this is BRILLIANT! I had looked all over the past few days but was never able to find info on the scale of anything like the archive you've made. Other than a few videos and internet archive links so much of this information I thought no longer existed
Thank you for showing me, this is really cool. Do you think if some more information was collected Zero hour could become eligible for the Wiki's standards?
