Kaiju Week in Review (October 23-29, 2022)

Marvel published Ultraman: The Mystery of Ultraseven #3 (of 5) on Wednesday. Kaiju-Ultra combat dominates this one, with Hayata and Ultraman debating how to handle the out-of-control Ultraseven as well. I've fallen off with a lot of Ultra Series stuff, including the post-Z shows (hence Decker's absence from these reviews), but this reimagining of the classics continues to impress. Watch for the Pestar cameo!

Rumble has finally come to Blu-ray and DVD in the U.S. Made for theaters (the first trailer played before Sonic the Hedgehog) but banished to Paramount+ last December, this kaiju wrestling comedy went completely overlooked by genre fans. Maybe now it'll get its due. I quite enjoyed it—as a sports movie, it's pure formula, but as a monster movie it's something new. And yes, the wrestling organization has the same name as the old fanfic series on Godzilla Tower. I actually bought the artbook as prep for a podcast episode I recorded last year that never aired, so expect more posts on this one soon.

By the way, this is actually last week's news—I just didn't know about it until I found the DVD on a cart of new materials at my library.

Godzilla vs. Kong won the Saturn Award for Best Film Visual Effects, beating out a crowded field thanks to an almost two-year eligibility period. This is familiar territory for both monsters: Godzilla (1998) and King Kong (2005) were among the previous victors. Deserved over Top Gun: Maverick? Probably not, but I dunno why Maverick was one of the nominees to begin with. It was also nominated for Best Science Fiction Film, losing to Nope.

Varan won a remarkably intensive Godzilla Store poll earlier this year to become the next Movie Monster Series figure (Super Mechagodzilla placed second again after losing to Gorosaurus last year), and said figure has finally been revealed. It'll go on sale November 3. Other Godzilla Store-exclusive vinyls can be ordered through Buyee, so I expect this one will be too.

The upcoming CG short Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex is also getting MMS figures. No details yet that I could find, but since the film premieres November 3rd, I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped that day too.

Godzilla Battle Line is teasing Evangelion Unit 01 as the next new Battle Piece, a rare EvaGoji collaboration that won't require traveling to or importing from Japan to experience. That would cover three of the four films in the Shin series... can a giant Kamen Rider be far behind?

Godzilla's 68th birthday is next Thursday, and since reporting on all the U.S. tie-in screenings after the fact won't do anyone any good, I'm going to list them all now:

Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla - Limited release nationwide through Fathom Events; check if it's playing near you here

Godzilla (1954) - Alamo Drafthouse locations; will use Toho's 4K restoration

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974) - Roxy Cinema in NYC; 35mm print

Godzilla (1954); Rodan; Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster; The War of the Gargantuas - hosted by John Carpenter on various digital channels from November 3 to 6

Licensing International also has a list of all the non-film collaborations planned for that day. Nothing jumps out, to be honest, but I figured I'd include it.

But if you're like me and already have commitments that evening, why not check out @spacehunter-m's reconstruction of the 1956 German theatrical version of Godzilla instead? It premiered in West Germany just a few months after Godzilla, King of the Monsters! opened in the States, but it's actually based on the Japanese cut (just 13 minutes shorter). English subtitles are included.

Erik Knudsen - Continuum interview

Hey guys, today i'm bringing to you an interview with Erik for online magazine "The Action Elite", so enjoy it.

Erik Knudsen Interview

Alex Paul

13 March 2014

Leading up to the Season 3 premiere of Continuum, we spoke to Saturn Award nominee Erik Knudsen and discussed his thoughts on the show, changing the future and why co-star Victor Webster is bitter.

When Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols), a Vancouver CPS officer in the year 2077, is unexpectedly sent back in time to 2012 along with a group of convicted terrorists, the technology in the future suit she is wearing manages to connect with a frequency used by Alec Sadler (Erik Knudsen). A 17-year-old computer genius, he has, unbeknownst to him, created the foundation for all the technology that runs the world in 2077.  Initially just a voice in her head, Alec becomes one of Kiera’s most important allies in her efforts to stop the terrorists from wrecking havoc in the present and changing the future.

The show has such a great look, what do you think differentiates it from other Canadian productions?

I agree; for me it’s always been about the camera work. For some reason the cameras always look different in Canadian television and with Continuum, all our directors and DPs have such strong camera backgrounds, and they shoot it very much like an American production. The CGI is flawless – we have the best effects people in the business and I know that in Season 3 it gets even better.

How important is social media to a show like Continuum?

Huge. Sci-fi is for the fans and social media is great for changing how fans have a take on the show. When I worked on ‘Jericho’ social media was just starting to follow shows and now fans can get together and maybe sway our story arc a little bit depending on what people are saying, so I think it’s a great thing for programs, especially sci-fi.

The online poll was a great way for the fans to interact and make a story change – how much time did you have from when the results were in and you had to shoot?

Not very long; usually we get our scripts about 4 days before shooting so we don’t really know ahead of time what is going on with the story. The writers know what they are going to do and we are given a framework of what we will be doing that season and for the entire show. Scripts can always change but once we get those we can start shooting pretty quickly.

In seasons 1 and 2 Alec was always the brains of the operation but behind a computer screen. Now he has gone back to save Emily and he is becoming a bit of a bad ass.

He is – that’s what we are seeing, this innocent farm boy who had no idea about the technology or the future that was ahead for us. In season 2 he learned more about the choices that he had to make, and in season 3 he is making those choices and not letting anyone get in his way. He has betrayed Kiera, who is his best friend, but Emily is his first love and those are strong emotions so he will do anything for her.

His previous mandate was to return Kiera to 2077 and now all he cares about is going back in time to save Emily…

Exactly and he is not even sure if he can get Kiera back to her family, but he feels saving Emily is the better choice. He doesn’t know and no one really knows if Kiera’s family even exists because of the timeline changes so it was a hard choice for him.

Because Continuum is not linear, in so much as it’s time travel, do you think the choices Alec is making now will make him a different Alec that we know in the future?

Absolutely; that’s what we are seeing now, that everything is not black and white or laid out for you. It is your choice and you can choose your destiny, but having said that, by him making these choices is perhaps what makes him a bad person. Like when Kiera wanted to kill Julian but didn’t. Maybe her holding the gun to his head made him the murderer that we know in the future. I think we can change our destiny but the choices may not have the consequences intended.

Kiera has always said that future Julian is a murderer, but when we see him in the future, he is turning off some Sadtech and freeing a warehouse full of people who are essentially drones. It really seems that one person’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter.

Exactly; but we don’t know if there are better ways. Liber8 is all about violent actions and controlling people to change history whereas Alec thinks technology can change history so it is a battle over ideologies and who is right, who is wrong, and who will win.

Has playing Alec made you more aware of the technological and social changes happening in the world today?

[pullquote_right]This show has really opened my eyes[/pullquote_right]Oh absolutely! I never really realized until I got this part and started looking at everything that was going on and I have definitely had an increased interest in politics and what is happening in the world, but this show has really opened my eyes. Continuum is showing the world what is happening today but in an entertaining way and also educating viewers.

Continuum at its heart is a police procedural show while at the same time balancing many side stories in the present and the future. What is it about the show that you think has really struck a chord with viewers?

It is a procedural but it doesn’t have one note throughout the entire season. I like how with Kiera and Liber8 we see so many sides to an issue and as we touched on before, people can express their anger of what is happening in society through the show. We know our audience is intelligent and they can see these things happening around them. Continuum is not black and white and it can be unpredictable. There is no right or wrong – we don’t know who is THE bad guy and it leaves so much open to interpretation.

One thing that I really like about this show is the fact it is un-apologetically Canadian. Vancouver is not doubling for Chicago or another unnamed US city. Was that important to make it Canadian and was that a deciding factor in you taking the role?

[pullquote_left]I am not much of an ‘LA boy’[/pullquote_left]Yeah! I am very proud to be from Canada. When I first read the pilot it was not specified that it was set in Vancouver but Simon and the producers are all from here and have worked everywhere else. It is a beautiful city and it looks great for sci-fi – has some neutral gray cloudy skies that can make it look foreboding – some fantastic buildings and architecture. These guys (the producers) wanted to stay home and work on a really great project and not travel all the time. Vancouver has so many great things they wanted to feature and as a Canadian is something I am happy about. I prefer to stay at home – I am not much of an ‘LA boy’. I prefer to be where people are not always surrounded by the entertainment industry (laughs).

We spoke with your co-star Victor Webster who said the following: “If there is a weak link anywhere, it is going to be Erik Knudsen. I mean come on! You can’t be THAT good. He is a diva. He only wants green M&Ms in his room, he has to have a masseuse on set, he has someone following him around with an umbrella outside, it’s crazy. He even brings his own paparazzi and rides an electric scooter everywhere.” Would you like to respond?

(laughs) Firstly, the person holding my umbrella is just there to maintain my translucent lily white complexion while I use both hands to eat my hand selected green M&Ms. I am playing a genius nerd. No one would believe me as a nerd if I had my naturally rich golden tan. Secondly, I think Victor is just bitter because of my slender teen-like physique. He is constantly asking my workout habits and dietary restrictions and how I keep so lean. I kid obviously. But seriously, look at Victor. Must be hard having the chiseled body and jaw structure of a Greek god. He is always a pleasure to work with and is the rock for all of us in Continuum. With all alliances switching on the show, Carlos has always had the best intentions and characters feel safe with him. A wonderful, talented, tall and handsome man that I look up to… literally.

We really appreciate you taking the time to talk today and continued success with Continuum.

Thank you so much.

The third season of Continuum will premiere on March 16th in Canada on Showcase and April 4th in the United States on SyFy.

Congrats to Superman and Lois for all of the Saturn Award nominations.

Tyler was nominated for actor, Bitsie was nominated for actress, and Emmanuelle was nominated for supporting actress. Jordan and Alex were both nominated for performance by a young actor.

I would have liked to have seen Adam Rayner (Tal), Wole Parks (John Henry), and Tayler Buck (Natalie) get nominated as well, but, with all of these nominations, I suppose I can’t complain.

Congratulations and good luck to all of the nominees.
