Godzilla Minus One – Check out the latest trailer for the new Toho movie

Japan’s Toho International has announced that Godzilla Minus One, the first Japanese-produced Godzilla film since 2016’s Shin Godzilla, will debut in Japan on 3rd November and will hit US cinemas on 1st December 2023.

I got to see this new trailer a few weeks back at the Japan Society during New York Comic Con. Seeing it on the big screen was very exciting and, in some ways, it is looking like an updated version of the original film.

“Set in a post-war Japan, Godzilla Minus One 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,” said Koji Ueda, President of Toho International. “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.’”

The new film is written and directed and written by Takashi Yamazaki. The new film is thought to share continuity with Shin Godzilla.
