New Godzilla movie in production, with director Yamazaki Takashi reprising his role!

It has been decided that a new Godzilla movie will be produced. The announcement was made at the end of the movie “Godzilla 1.0”, which was broadcast on Nippon Television’s Friday Road Show on the 1st, and a promotional video was released.

The 31st movie in the series will be directed, scripted, and produced by Yamazaki Takashi, who achieved many great feats with Godzilla 1.0, and will once again be taking on a Godzilla movie. Details such as the release date and story will be announced at a later date.

Ever since it first appeared in 1954, Godzilla has fascinated and shocked not only Japan but the whole world. “Godzilla-1.0” (2023), the 30th live-action Godzilla film produced in Japan, was released on Godzilla Day on November 3, 2023, and exceeded 7.65 billion yen in box office revenue, making it the No. 1 live-action Japanese film of 2023.

It also became the first Asian film to win the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects at the 96th Academy Awards. It has also achieved the feat of winning more than 50 top awards at overseas film awards, and in Japan, it won eight categories including Best Picture at the 47th Japan Academy Awards, creating a Godzilla-level sensation both at home and abroad.
