First Look at Japan's New "Godzilla Minus One" Movie "Gojira"

He's back!! Toho in Japan has unveiled this surprise first trailer for their new movie Gojira coming this fall. This new game is titled Godzilla Minus One (or Godzilla -1.0) and features another brand new Godzilla terrorizing Japan. It's sort of the sequel to Hideaki Anno's Shin Godzilla (from 2016), but also an original creation telling a whole new story. Prolific Japanese filmmaker Takashi Yamazaki (Lupin III: The First, Stand by Me Doraemon series) is directing the new film, which will be the 30th live-action film in the Toho franchise's own kaiju. It was filmed under the working title Blockbuster Monster Movie (超大作怪獣映画), co-produced by Robot Communications and Toho Studios. And yes, it will hit theaters in the United States in December after first opening in Japan in November. The cast of the film has yet to be announced. There's only 30 seconds of footage in this teaser, but it's worth it. Ohh yes, I can't wait to be there.

Here is the first trailer for Godzilla Minus One by Takashi Yamazaki, direct from YouTube:

"Set in post-war Japan, Godzilla Minus 1 will once again show us a Godzilla who is a terrifying and overwhelming force, which you already get a sense of from the trailer and poster," Koji Ueda, president of Toho International, said in a statement. "The concept is that Japan, which had already been devastated by war, faces a new threat with Godzilla, bringing the country into 'minus'." Godzilla Minus One , also known as ゴジラ-1.0 or Gojira Mainasu Wan in Japanese, is both written and directed by Japanese producer/filmmaker Takashi Yamazaki, director of numerous films including Space Battleship Yamato, The Fighter Pilot, Stand by Me Doraemon, Parasyte: Parts 1 & 2, Destiny: The Tale of Kamakura, Lupine III: The First, Dragon Quest: Your Story and Ghost Book previously. Yamazaki is also working on the film's visual effects. Filming began in mid-March 2022, taking place in Kantō and concluded in mid-June. Toho will debut Godzilla Minus One in theaters in Japan from November 3, 2023 this fall. It will also open in theaters in the United States from December 1, 2023 later this year. Who can't wait to see more?
