This week marks the first week of shooting for Godzilla 2016 and Gormaru Island is ON THE BALL with covering it. Although production has officially begun, a much larger portion of the shoot with a massive cache of extras will be shot this weekend. (Likely a crowd running from something rather large. Go figure.)
Gormaru Island is picking up Japanese news outlets reporting the shoot is happening at the Kamata Railway Station in Tokyo. One in particular reports a flyer with instructions on how to reach the location. Said flyer seems to indicate the film's working title is Shin Gojira. (Roughly translated to New Godzilla or True Godzilla.)
It's unlikely this is the actual title of the film. Those who followed Godzilla: Final Wars in 2004 may recall that the working title for that movie was The Godzilla. I'm sure Toho and director/writer Hideaki Anno will come up with something more fitting.
Big thanks for Gormaru Island for the sharp eye. We look forward to official announcements from Toho soon.
