New images from the upcoming 70th Anniversary film, Godzilla Minus One were recently dropped by Toho! While some images have been seen in the recently released trailer, others offer a new look at the Monster King and characters in the film! Take a good at the new shots 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.
The film stars Ryunosuke Kamiki (The Great Yokai War), Minami Hamabe (Shin Kamen Rider), Yuki Yamada (Gokaiger), Munetaka Aoki (Ruroni Kenshin), Hidetaka Yoshioka (Always: Sunset on Third Street), Sakura Ando (The Great Yokai War: Guardians) and Kuranosuke Sasaki (Samurai Hustle).
Godzilla Minus One opens in Japan on November 3rd, 2023, Godzilla Day.
It opens in the United States on December 1st, 2023.
