“The future of this country is in our hands.” Look at that glorious big boi chomping his way around Japan! Toho has revealed another new official trailer for Godzilla Minus One (or Godzilla -1.0) to celebrate the Japanese release this week. It’s set to open worldwide in one month. Prolific Japanese filmmaker Takashi Yamazaki (Lupin III: The First, Stand by Me Doraemon series) is directing this movie, which will be the 30th live action movie as part of Toho’s kaiju franchise. Made under the working title Blockbuster Monster Movie (超大作怪獣映画), co-produced by Robot Communications and Toho Studios. On December 1st, a new reign begins. Post war Japan is at its lowest point when a new crisis emerges in the form of a giant monster, baptized in the horrific power of the atomic bomb. There are a few more awesome shots of Gojira biting and stomping and roaring in this (the other official trailer). I can’t wait! This is going to rule! Bring on Godzilla.
Here’s the third official trailer (+ poster) for Takashi Yamazaki’s Godzilla Minus One, from YouTube:
You can rewatch the teaser trailer for Yamazaki’s Godzilla Minus One right here, and the first full trailer.
“Set in a post-war Japan, Godzilla Minus 1 will once again show us a Godzilla that is a terrifying and overwhelming force, which you already get a sense of from the teaser trailer and poster,” Koji Ueda, President of Toho International, said in a statement. “The concept is that Japan, which had already been devastated by the war, faces a new threat with Godzilla, bringing the country into the ‘minus.'” Godzilla Minus One, also known as ゴジラ-1.0 or Gojira Mainasu Wan in Japanese, is both written and directed by the Japanese producer / filmmaker Takashi Yamazaki, director of many films including Space Battleship Yamato, The Fighter Pilot, Stand by Me Doraemon, Parasyte: Part 1 & 2, Destiny: The Tale of Kamakura, Lupin III: The First, Dragon Quest: Your Story, and Ghost Book previously. Yamazaki is also working on the VFX for the film. Filming began in mid-March 2022, taking place in Kantō and wrapped in mid-June. Toho will debut Godzilla Minus One in theaters in Japan starting on November 3rd, 2023 this fall. It will also open in theaters in the US starting on December 1st, 2023 next month.
