"GUALAGON"!!: New German Kaiju!!

I just came across this one in one of my searches. Apparently, from what I can make out, it's a new German radio play that takes place in 1966 in Japan. It's obviously a loving tribute to Toho's classics, with characters like 'Dr. Tamblyn' and even a 'Serizawa Institute'. Those and it's Tohoesque score point that out. It even has some CGI visuals that were made for it of the kaiju[great looking stuff!!]. Some of you may recognize it's creator's name; Ralph Lorenz as the guy behind the still unfinished German 'King Kong' knock-off; "Kongula": http://kongula.de/ Here's the official website[the trailer's coming soon!!]: http://www.gualagon.de/index.htm and a banner of the film: http://www.gualagon.de/banner/gualagon_bigbanner.jpg and this is pretty interesting; an original concept artwork seems to imply that the creature is a conglomerate design of "Hedorah" and "Guilala"?? : http://www.monstercon.de/projekte/gualagon/gualagon_preview.jpg They're even saying that if it's successful enough then there may be a kit or comic or even a film. UPDATE!! A little more on it: http://roberthood.net/blog/index.php/2008/07/26/gualagon/ Pretty cool huh??

Now's our chance guys!!!! They're giving us a chance to let them know if we want 'GUALAGON' and they've given' us a better explanation of the project; on the official website there is now[at the left hand bottom corner] an option for English: "A hearty Hello to all of you international Kaiju Fans out there! We've noticed, that our Gualagon project has created a lot of interest in the community, so we decided to include this text on the website as well.
First of all, let us clear up some missunderstandings. Gualagon will be a radioplay (although the term radioplay is not quite appropriate, since this will not be played on the radio, therefore we prefer the term audioplay) and not a movie. Apparently there had been two facts that led people to believe, that Gualagon will be a movie. Although it is correct that the main creative person behind the project is indeed the same Ralf Lorenz who helmed the (in)famous Kongula Movie Project, this time he decided to create and produce an audioplay. This was not done due to budgetary reasons, as some people believe, but because this time he wanted to make sure that he would have a team behind him to ensure the completion of the project. The other reason for people to think we would be doing a movie, was the button marked 'trailer'. There will be a trailer on our homepage soon, alas it will be an audio trailer only.
Also there were reports that there will be a comicbook etc. for Gualagon. Neither a comicbook nor other variations of the project are planned right now. There was also speculation on an english version of the audioplay. Sorry to disappoint you again, but so far we are not considering this as anything that will happen soon, if ever. Of course we would love to do all those things, but at the moment our tight budget will not permit us to do so. However, we are considering to release the soundtrack seperately, including an english booklet, if there is enough demand for it. So send us an E-Mail: : info@gualagon.de and let us know what you think." Speak now or forever hold your peace. Maybe, they'll except donations as well, since their budget seems to be the issue?? Anything you can offer would be of help. All it takes is one e-mail!!!!
