As usual, Gormaru Island is on top of the world regarding Shin-Godzilla. Satomi Ishihara (Attack on Titan Part I & II) recently posted that she's wrapped filming—This is in line with reports about Shin-Godzilla's principle photography wrapping by November.
For those keeping count this is more or less the same amount of time Godzilla 2014 had which started filming mid-March of 2013 and wrapped mid-July. If you include the upcoming November effects work, it's certainly a longer shoot than Godzilla 2014. The live action footage will be sent to post as another important phase in the film's production begins.
The next month will be dedicated to special effects work which is Shinji Higuchi's primary concern over the production. Although Hideaki Anno will have final say on the shots, Higuchi's role as special effects director will be key for the film's success.
Next week Japan will be celebrating Godzilla's 61st Birthday with a two day festival screening some fan favorites. (Click here to learn more.) Rumors are swirling that a Shin-Godzilla reveal of some sort will take place during the festivities. It's unlikely any trailer with special effects footage will be ready by this coming Tuesday, although other announcements (a poster reveal perhaps?) are not out of the question.
Stay tuned for more information as Shin-Godzilla goes into effects shooting and post-production.
