Godzilla, the fire-breathing movie monster born in a nuclear accident, is joining Hollywood royalty with a star on the Walk of Fame.
A ceremony will honor the giant lizard in front of Hollywood Boulevard's famed Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Nov. 29, the world premiere of Godzilla: Final Wars, said Shogo Tomiyama, president of Toho Pictures Inc.
The movie, the 28th in the series, will mark 50 years since Godzilla emerged from the sea.
Featuring a showdown with 10 monsters, old and new, bashing through tiny sets of Paris, New York, Shanghai, China, and Sydney, Australia, it will be the last time that Godzilla - played by an actor in a rubber suit - stomps through miniaturized sets before retiring.
"This movie will surprise and delight everyone, from longtime fans to first-time viewers," Tomiyama said.
