I originally had this in the Lost Media forum, but I guess it's not technically lost so I'm putting it here. I've been trying to find this for a few years with no luck, so I'm hoping someone here can help me out. Showdown of the Godz was a 15 minute short film released in 2008 featuring David Gasman(Rayman, AB Groupe Goku) and George Takei. The film was screened at several conventions, and had a DVD and streaming release on Amazon. Unfortunately the DVD is out of print and is no longer available for streaming.
I have found a 1 minute preview for the film on Vimeo, a very detailed summary of the plot, and the website for the film's production company, Coverage Ink Films. I've contacted Coverage Ink Films, but I have yet to receive a response. I've also found the LinkedIn account for Jim Cirile(co-owner of Coverage Ink Films) and David Gasman's Twitter account, however I don't think it's good idea to contact Jim directly and I'm not sure how helpful David Gasman would be on the subject. I'm hoping someone will come forth with a copy of the DVD, as that contains deleted scenes and it's probably the best way to get a hold of the film.
EDIT: I'm considering this lost and seeing if it's deserving of its own article.
Unfortunately, it's a Vimeo link, so it probably won't be viewable in the post, but this is best I can do at the moment. This isn't the full short, but you can clearly see both George Takei and David Gasman in it. I hope this sparks some interest in George Takei and Kaiju fans.
EDIT: It looks like the link doesn't work. It looks like I'll have to do more than just copy and paste the link, which is hard to do on mobile.
