New Godzilla Film in Development Exciting news for Godzilla fans as TOHO has announced the development of a new film following the success of Godzilla Minus One last year. The upcoming Godzilla film will once again be helmed by Godzilla Minus One director, writer, and effects supervisor Takashi Yamazaki. Details on the new project are currently limited. This announcement comes just in time for Godzilla Day, celebrated worldwide on November 3rd. Additionally, a black-and-white version of Godzilla Minus One will be re-released in North American theaters. Godzilla Minus One takes place in post-World War II Japan and features Ryunosuke Kamiki as a former kamikaze pilot grappling with survivor's guilt and PTSD after encountering the monstrous Godzilla. The film boasts a talented supporting cast including Minami Hamabe, Yuki Yamada, Munetaka Aoki, Hidetaka Yoshioka, Sakura Ando, and Kuranosuke Sasaki. The previous installment in the franchise, 2016's Shin Godzilla, marked the third reboot and the start of the Reiwa era. Conversely, Godzilla Minus One introduced a fresh continuity unrelated to previous iterations. TOHO's agreement with Legendary Pictures restricts the release of their Godzilla films in the same year as a Legendary production. Following multiple rejected pitches, TOHO's new live-action Godzilla film was delayed until after 2020. Given the immense success of Godzilla Minus One, it's no surprise that TOHO has entrusted the future of the franchise to Yamazaki. The film achieved significant milestones, becoming the third highest-grossing foreign-language film in US theaters and the top-grossing Japanese film in the US. In a historic moment, Godzilla Minus One earned recognition at the Academy Awards, winning the 2024 Best Visual Effects award. This marked the first Academy Award victory in the franchise's 70-year history.
