Godzilla has received a Japanese citizenship certificate. Address: Shinjuku-ku, Kabuki-cho, 1-19-1. Date of birth: April 9, 1954. Reason for special residency: "Promoting the entertainment of and watching over the Kabuki-cho neighborhood and drawing visitors from around the globe."

A replica of Japan's undisputed "King of Monsters" was also placed on top of the district's iconic Toho building. The Japanese film company will release a new Godzilla film in 2016, following the success of a 2014 Hollywood remake by British director Gareth Edwards. Godzilla attended an awards ceremony in April, where he was presented with a sash from Shinjuku mayor, Kenichi Yoshizumi.

In other news, Sony Pictures could lose its license to kill make James Bond films after an agreement with Metro Goldwyn-Mayer expires later this year.

    The last thing the paragon of English gentlemanly perfection needs is a JJ Abrams patented lens flare.

    In regards to your subject. Please don't give Disney any such thoughts. I've liked the 3 most recent Bond films even though they really took him out of character. I'm not sure my mind could adjust to a Disneyized James Bond.
