Transit Drive-In owner hopes to make dying man’s last wish come true: ‘George would like to hear Godzilla roar one more time’

The owner of the Transit Drive-In is determined to make his dying friend’s last wish come true. He would love nothing more than to see Godzilla: King of the Monsters before he is gone. The only problem is it doesn’t come out until May. He hopes that Warner Bros. Entertainment and Legendary might hear his plea make this happen for his friend.

A local man who has been fighting kidney cancer for the past two years has one last wish, a simple request that his friend, the owner of the Transit Drive-In in Lockport, hopes to make come true. Here’s the story as posted on Facebook.

“I have a close friend who has been fighting kidney cancer for the past two years. He was just admitted into the ICU at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo over the weekend. I went to see him on Monday and Tuesday this week, and both times the first words out of his mouth to me were, ‘King of Monsters.’

George is a huge Godzilla: King of the Monsters fan, and he knows his time is short, and he will not be around when the movie is released in May. He knows I own the drive-in, so he is asking me if there is anything I can do. I promised him I would try. This is his dying wish, and he does not have much time left.

George is on oxygen, since the cancer has spread to his lungs, and is inoperable. He only has a few days left, maybe a week or two. I know this effort is a longshot, and I told him that since the movie is still three months away, the studio may be unwilling or unable to show an unfinished product. The North Park Theatre on Hertel Avenue in Buffalo is close to Roswell Park, and has agreed to screen the movie for George privately during their off hours, if we can get permission from the studio.

I am not a big shot in the movie business, but I know some people who know some people, so I’ve taken steps to get the request to the right eyes and ears of people at the distributor, Warner Bros. Pictures, and the producers, Legendary Pictures. George would like to hear Godzilla roar one more time before he is gone. Let’s try to make that happen.”

Please share this man’s request in the hopes it will reach the right people and make his wish come true!
