Brief history of Maciste:
The last Maciste film produced in the silent era was Maciste all'inferno
(Maciste in the Underworld). The screenplay by Riccardo Artuffo provided
director Guido Brignone with a scenario rich in fantastic and bizarre humor.
Completed in 1925, Maciste all'inferno ran afoul of the censors - reputedly
due to charges that its depictions of Hell and Lucifer were blasphemous,
which may explain why The Devil is now referred to as Lord Pluto - and the
film was released in Sweden three months before it premiered in Italy in
March of 1926. Maciste all'inferno was re-released in the early forties with a
synchronized music and sound effects track, and the Maciste character
surfaced again in the fifties and sixties during a revival of the muscleman
epic alongside such stalwarts as Hercules, Goliath, Colossus, Samson, Atlas
and "The Strongest Man in the World."

Info about Gojira & Maciste:
Gojira has been trying to get the rights to re-release the movie with them
playing the score. But Joe said he thinks they may only be able to release the
music and not with a dvd of the film.
