Nearly 70 years since Godzilla first appeared on-screen, the king of the monsters has headlined almost 40 feature films along with a few TV shows. Initially conceived as a metaphor for nuclear weapons, the atomic dinosaur has since battled numerous monsters on-screen, something that has driven Warner Bros’ recent adaptations while they build a Monsterverse. A different approach has been taken by writer/director Takashi Yamazaki, taking the icon back to its post-war roots for an outstanding work that is among the franchise’s best.

As World War II nears its end, kamikaze pilot Kōichi Shikishima (Ryunosuke Kamiki) runs from his orders by claiming that his aircraft is faulty. His arrival on Odo Island coincides with the attack of Godzilla which kills all...

Last year, Toho released a new Godzilla film, titled Godzilla Minus One (read our review Here), in Japan on November 3rd, which happens to be Godzilla Day, the anniversary of the 1954 release of the original Godzilla movie. That was the 69th anniversary – and since this year marks the 70th anniversary of the original film, Godzilla Minus One is returning to theatres this weekend… and that’s not the only way Toho is celebrating the anniversary. Today, they have also announced that they’ve given the greenlight to a new Godzilla movie that will be written and directed by Godzilla Minus One mastermind Takashi Yamazaki, who will also be handling the visual effects! The announcement can be seen right here:

Godzilla is stomping its way back to the big screen.

A new “Godzilla” movie, from the director of last year’s Oscar-winning Japanese film “Godzilla Minus One,” has been officially greenlit. Toho, the Japanese entertainment company and creator of Godzilla, made the announcement on Friday.

Takashi Yamazaki, who wrote and directed the surprise hit “Godzilla Minus One,” will return for the new film. He’s once again handling the VFX, after winning the Academy Award for best visual effects in 2023.

“Godzilla Minus One” was Toho 33rd “Godzilla” movie and the 37th to include the famous monster. The Japanese film is unrelated to Hollywood’s recent portrayals of Godzilla in Warner Bros. and Legendary’s Monsterverse, which includes King Kong. Set in Japan after World War II, “Godzilla Minus One” starred Ryunosuke Kamiki as Kōichi Shikishima, a former kamikaze pilot who survives an almost fatal encounter with Godzilla and suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Last year, Toho released a new Godzilla film, titled Godzilla Minus One (read our review Here), in Japan on November 3rd, which happens to be Godzilla Day, the anniversary of the 1954 release of the original Godzilla movie. That was the 69th anniversary – and since this year marks the 70th anniversary of the original film, Godzilla Minus One is returning to theatres this weekend, with screenings starting on November 1st. There’s also a black & white version of Godzilla Minus One that’s called Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color, and that version of the film is also returning to theatres for this celebration. To see if Godzilla Minus One and/or Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color will be showing near you this weekend, check out the Tickets.Godzilla website.

Written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki, Godzilla Minus One sees an already devastated postwar Japan facing a new threat in the form of Godzilla.

"There's no way to stop it." The big radioactive lizard is back! Again! Japan's Toho is planning another 2024 re-release of this beloved, Oscar-winning, monster movie mega-hit Godzilla: Minus One. The re-release is part of the 70th Anniversary of Godzilla celebrations (more info here), because the original Gojira movie opened in Japan on November 1st way back in 1954. So this is also re-releasing on November 1st in the US as well - after a successful run last winter. Prolific Japanese filmmaker Takashi Yamazaki directed this epic action sci-fi - starring Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, Yuki Yamada, Munetaka Aoki, Hidetaka Yoshioka, Sakura Ando, Kuranosuke Sasaki. 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. The movie originally opened in Japan last November and in the US in December, becoming a hit worldwide before...

Sea monster movies tap into the fear of the unknown depths, offering a mix of horror and entertainment that resonates with audiences. Films like "The Shape of Water" and "Godzilla" bring sea monsters to life with emotional stories that elevate the genre to new heights. From classic creature features to modern horrors, sea monster movies continue to captivate and terrify viewers with their imaginative tales.

As much as the ocean is a popular tourist destination, the best sea monster movies have caused anxiety about going into unfamiliar waters. Just as the vastness of space has given way to countless fictional stories about possible terrors up there, the unknown depths of the world's oceans offer tales of aquatic mystery. Though the topic of sea monsters has given the world a seemingly endless amount of schlock, there have been several cinematic riffs on the formula, mostly in the horror genre, but not always.

Just a couple days after we learned that Godzilla Minus One is headed to 4K & Blu-ray here in the United States, Netflix has announced that the black & white version is streaming soon.

Godzilla Minus One / Minus Color will be available on Netflix beginning August 1!

The full-color version of Godzilla Minus One is also currently streaming on Netflix.

Watch the trailer for the monochrome version of Godzilla Minus One below, which evokes the classic black & white spirit of Toho’s original Godzilla movie from back in 1954.

Toho’s Godzilla Minus One, written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki, sees an already devastated post-World War II Japan facing a new threat in the form of Godzilla.

Yamazaki previews the black & white version of the film, “Rather than just making it monochrome, it is a cut by cut. I had them make adjustments while making full use of various mattes, as if they were creating a new movie.

When Shaun of the Dead star Simon Pegg first showed up on our screens back in the day, he earned a lot of fans through the fact that he was a celebrity-on-the-rise who had “geeky” interests and embraced “geek culture.” There’s a quote from him bouncing around where he said, “Being a geek is all about being honest about what you enjoy and not being afraid to demonstrate that affection. It means never having to play it cool about how much you like something. It’s basically a license to proudly emote on a somewhat childish level rather than behave like a supposed adult. Being a geek is extremely liberating.” He even titled his memoir Nerd Do Well… But last year, he distanced himself from his past self, writing off nostalgia as a neurological disorder and telling The Guardian, “I’ve aged out of a lot of what people assume I’m about.

The King of Monsters finally has his share of Oscars glory.

In an ironic triumph of small over large, Japanese monster movie sensation Godzilla Minus One — which was made for only about $15 million — beat out four big-budget Hollywood tentpoles to win the best visual effects category. It’s the first time in decades that a non-u.S. studio film has won the category. Despite its deep influence on the history of visual effects in cinema, this year was the first time in the Godzilla franchise’s seven-decade history that it was nominated for an Oscar.

Godzilla Minus One was written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki, who also headed up the film’s VFX team, which included Kiyoko Shibuya, Masaki Takahashi and Tatsuji Nojima. The team is now Japan’s first-ever winner of the best visual effects Oscar. In another rarity, a director winning the category has only occurred once before...

In the wake of winning eight awards at the Japanese Academy Awards earlier this week, Toho’s box office hit Godzilla Minus One just became an Oscar winner tonight.

Godzilla Minus One has captured the Academy Award for “Best Visual Effects,” with artists Takashi Yamakazi, Kiyoko Shibuya, Masaki Takahashi, and Tatsuji Nojima taking home the gold tonight. The film has become the very first Godzilla movie to win an Oscar, a huge win for Kaiju cinema that even John Carpenter is celebrating tonight.

Carpenter tweeted in the wake of the win, “Incredible! Godzilla Minus One wins an Academy Award for special effects. In my lifetime. Fantastic!”

Godzilla Minus One roared its way to over $106 million at the worldwide box office, with a home video release coming soon. A release date is expected in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.

Godzilla Is An Oscar Winner!!!

Incredible! Godzilla Minus One wins an Academy Award for special effects.

The team behind Godzilla Minus One brought their beloved character with them to the 2024 Oscars. The group walked the red carpet in shoes adorned with Godzilla sculptures gripping the heels, and holding figurines of the fictional monster inside the theater.

The Oscars red carpet isn’t the first place the figurines have traveled this awards season. They were first seen in a video of the group learning they earned a nomination, and later again at the Oscar nominees luncheon last month.

While we wait to see if Toho’s Godzilla Minus One will take home the “Visual Effects” Oscar at the Academy Awards this weekend – it’s the only category the film is nominated in – some big news is coming out of Japan this week. The new Godzilla movie was nominated in twelve categories at the Japanese Academy Awards, and it just took most of them home!

Godzilla Minus One dominated eight of the twelve total categories it was nominated in, and most importantly the smash hit monster movie won Best Picture of the year!

The following awards were handed to Godzilla Minus One this week…

Toho released a new Godzilla film, titled Godzilla Minus One (read our review Here), in Japan on November 3rd, which happens to be Godzilla Day – the anniversary of the 1954 release of the original Godzilla movie. The film made its way over to the United States in December… and it became the highest grossing live-action Japanese film in North America even before a black and white version was released under the title Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color. Director Takashi Yamazaki has let it be known that he’s interested in making a sequel, and during a new interview with Empire magazine he revealed that he would like to feature some “kaiju vs. kaiju” action in the follow-up, if Toho lets him make it!

Yamazaki said, “I would certainly like to see what the sequel would look like. I know that Shikishima’s war seems over, and we’ve reached this state...

Toho’s Godzilla Minus One just made its way back into U.S. theaters over the weekend with a brand new black & white version of the Oscar-nominated movie, and along with that new release comes a major bit of news. The film has now crossed over $55 Million in total U.S. box office, making it the #3 Highest Grossing Foreign Language Film in U.S. history!!

Godzilla Minus One passed Hero ($53.7 million) and Parasite ($53.3) to claim that honor. The critically acclaimed film’s worldwide total currently stands at a massive $102.6 million.

The only international films ahead of Godzilla Minus One at the U.S. box office are:

#1 – Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon – $128.5 million (U.S.) #2 – Life Is Beautiful – $57.5 million (U.S.)

Godzilla Minus One is currently just $2.5 million shy of Life Is Beautiful‘s U.S. box office total, which would put it in the #2 spot for international films at the U.

In the wake of Godzilla Minus One becoming the first-ever Godzilla movie to get an Academy Awards nomination – it’s up for the “Visual Effects” Oscar – we’ve learned that Toho’s smash hit monster movie has also been nominated for 12 awards at the Japanese Academy Awards.

And unlike the American Oscars, Godzilla Minus One is nominated for “Best Picture” over in Japan, a nomination many felt the movie should’ve received here in the United States.

On that note, the film is roaring its way to $100 million at the worldwide box office.

Toho’s Godzilla Minus One, written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki, sees an already devastated post-World War II...

"Godzilla Minus One" is one of the best Godzilla movies of all time. At times a riff on "Jaws," it's also an homage to the 1954 original movie and technically a sequel to "Oppenheimer." Yes, the 33rd film in the franchise feels radically different and yet comfortably familiar. It uses a post-war setting to tell another story of humanity's first meeting with the King of Monsters, bringing back the original film's nuclear imagery by giving an update to Godzilla's atomic breath. This helps turn the titular kaiju into a terrifying force of nature bringing about divine punishment.

Perhaps the biggest achievement of "Godzilla Minus One" is how it does the unthinkable and makes you care about the puny humans being crushed by the giant monster. Again, the post-war setting gives the film a historical background to mine meaningful drama, with the protagonist being a failed kamikaze pilot with survivor's guilt...

Godzilla Minus One smashes records as the largest Japanese Godzilla film, reaching an astounding $100 million globally. The film's box office success continues to climb, showcasing its immense popularity and global appeal. Stay tuned for further updates on the colossal achievements of Godzilla Minus One as it takes the cinematic world by storm.

The Godzilla Minus One box office reaches a huge global milestone. From Takashi Yamazaki, the latest film in the franchise produced by Toho Studios follows the emergence of the titular Kaiju in postwar Japan, with the Godzilla Minus One cast including Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, Yuki Yamada, Munetaka Aoki, Hidetaka Yoshioka, Sakura Ando, and Kuranosuke Sasaki. The movie was released in Japan on November 3, followed by December 1 in North America, and has been a resounding box office success both domestically and globally.

According to Collider, the Godzilla Minus One box office has reached the $100 million mark worldwide.

After debuting on the big screen in 1954, Godzilla has become famous throughout all of cinema. Staring in over thirty films, the giant lizard has terrorised the world, from Tokyo to San Francisco, and now the filmmakers of Godzilla Minus One have brought the monster back to what feels like its roots, in post-World War 2 Japan. This time it may just be the best version we’ve ever had.

Godzilla Minus One is set in post-war Japan, as the country is at its lowest point, we follow Kōichi Shikishima (Ryunosuke Kamiki), a kamikaze pilot who abandoned his position at the end of the war. His so-called failure and his very duty in the war is brought into question, and in doing so...

Toho released a new Godzilla film, titled Godzilla Minus One (read our review Here), in Japan on November 3rd, which happens to be Godzilla Day – the anniversary of the 1954 release of the original Godzilla movie. The film made its way over to the United States on December 1st, and has quickly become the highest grossing live-action Japanese film in North America. There was a rumor going around that the film had a budget of $15 million – but director Takashi Yamazaki has since spoken up and said he wished he had that much to work with, because the budget was actually lower. With that in mind, it wouldn’t be surprising if Godzilla Minus One‘s success were to lead to a sequel… and Yamazaki says he would like to direct one!

As of this writing, Godzilla Minus One has earned $26 million at the Japan box office and another $26 million from other territories,...
