A year after its release in Japan, Godzilla: Minus One is released in French cinemas this weekend in a brand new version. But another big news awaits fans of the feature film.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters soon to return?
The year 2023 will have been a particularly rich year for Japanese soft-power. In addition to the long-awaited conclusion of Attack on Titanwe were successively entitled to the releases of the best-seller The city and its uncertain walls by Haruki Murakami – his first novel since The Murder of the Commander en 2017 -, du film d'animation Suzume by Makoto Shinkai, from the video game The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomwhich follows Breath of the Wildanimated feature film The Boy and the Heron by Hayao Miyazaki – his first since The Wind rises in 2013! -, video games Super Mario Bros. Wonder and the movie Godzilla: Minus One de Takashi Yamazaki.
This latest film marks the return of the King of Monsters to his country of origin seven years after the excellent Shin Godzilla of the duo behind Neon Genesis Evangelion et Nadia, the secret of blue water : Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi. Reconnecting with the origins of Godzilla, dealing directly with atomic destruction, but also with the thorny subject of kamikazes, Godzilla: Minus One experienced a real triumph both in Japan and internationallythanks to an effective storyline and impressive special effects, despite an estimated budget of $15 million and a very limited release.
While Godzilla: Minus One will be released in French theaters this weekend in its Minus Color version (black and white), before being released in physical format (Blu-Ray and DVD) in December by AllTheAnime, insider Daniel Richtman tells us that Takashi Yamazaki is already working on a new film Godzilla. Such delightful news, especially since the filmmaker had very early on stated his desire to make another film dedicated to the King of the Kaiju. However, we do not know whether the next opus on which Yamazaki boards will be connected or not to Godzilla: Minus One. We remember that the feature film ended with an open ending. To be continued!
