Today the Official English Toho Godzilla account hinted at some big Godzilla Minus One news. Since then it has been revealed that the Japanese and American Academy Award-winning film will drop June 1st on Netflix worldwide and will be available for streaming nationwide as well.
For those who have been starving to rewatch the first Godzilla film to win an Oscar since it was pulled from theaters, it will be available to stream on Netflix, Amazon and other streaming sites tomorrow, June 1st, 2024.
Set in a post-war Japan, Godzilla Minus One once again shows us a Godzilla that is a terrifying and overwhelming force. Japan, already been devastated by the war, faces a new threat with Godzilla, bringing the country from nothing (zero) into the ‘minus.’
Godzilla Minus One is directed by Takashi Yamazaki. An award-winning filmmaker and avid Godzilla fan, his work on Always: Sunset on Third Street (2005) earned him two Japanese Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Screenwriter. He was honored with another Best Director and Best Screenplay nomination for the sequel, Always: Sunset on Third Street 2 (2007). In 2016, he won the Best Director category again for The Eternal Zero. For Godzilla Minus One, Yamazaki won another Best Screenplay Award, Best Picture and the Oscar for Best Visual Effects--a first for a foreign film. Yamazaki also helmed highly acclaimed actioners, Returner, Space Battleship Yamato and many others.
He gave Godzilla a cameo during an opening dream sequence in Always: Sunset on Third Street 2. In 2021 he returned to Godzilla and directed footage for Seibuen Amusement Park's Godzilla the Ride: Giant Monster Battle Summit.
