The Godzilla Minus One World Premiere took place in Tokyo on October 18th, 2023 with thunderous reception! The red carpet, leading to the Shinjuku, Hotel Gracery, was 50.1 meters in length, the height of Godzilla in the new film! Something similar was done with Shin Godzilla's world premiere in 2016, with a red carpet at the length of 118.5 meters. (Shin Godzilla's height.)
The 50.1 meter red carpet was traveled by the new Godzilla Attack Truck, built for the film's promotion. The Attack Track appears to represent Godzilla cutting through the ocean from a scene already making "waves" among fans in the recent TV spot.
Take a look at the premiere images below:
Set in a post-war Japan, Godzilla Minus One will once again show us a Godzilla that is a terrifying and overwhelming force. Japan, which had 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. 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.
Godzilla Minus One opens in Japan on November 3rd, 2023, Godzilla Day.
It opens in the United States on December 1st, 2023.
