Godzilla rises for the final time

The 28th and final film about Japanese cinema monster Godzilla is getting its US premiere on Monday.
Final Wars ends a movie franchise which has built up an enormous following since its debut in 1954.

The green lizard, known in Japan as Gojira, is also to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The new film "will compile the fruits of 50 years' work and put an end to the series", Yukihko Mochida of Japan's Todo studio said.

But he may return if a "new generation of directors emerge or a brand new film-making method is found to create a whole new world", he added.
