Never before released anywhere in the world on physical or digital media, the lost Kaiju movie Space Monster Wangmagwi was made way back in 1967, and it has finally been found.
Sci-fi Japan reports this week that SRS Cinema has picked up the North American rights to the classic black & white Kaiju movie, with the first-ever release coming real soon.
The site notes that the Korean film is “the most sought after of obscure unreleased kaiju movies.” Sci-fi Japan goes on to explain, “It was thought lost for decades until the Korean Film Archive recently held a few festival screenings in their home country.”
Sci-fi Japan details, “Directed by Gwon Hyeok-jin (The Swordsman), this sci-fi film depicts the arrival of a gigantic space creature named Wangmagwi (Big Devil) who plans to conquer the Earth. Landing in Korea, the alien goes on a rampage of destruction.”
Expect Space Monster Wangmagwi to see release this August or September!
Thanks to Avery Guerra for the heads up.
