Sci-Fi Godzilla Minus One

[Pennywise]

I’m hoping this this comes out in Canada as I was very bummed that Shin Godzilla did not play anywhere near my city at least.

 

[Arachnerd]

Its interesting, they seem to be taking some of the crocidillian aspects of Monsterverse Goji and adding it to this new Goji.

Also seeing some resemblance to the scrapped Stan Winston Godzilla design.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Cannot wait for this!

 

[Ninjablade]

This looks cool. Looking forward to it.

Toho, can you please give us european kaiju fans one break for this movie, please? If this is getting a nationwide release in the US, I'm hoping against hope that the same happens here in Europe.

At the moment the-numbers.com has it listed as a limited US release (insert sad emoji here). I’m close to Chicago so hopefully some shows pop up…don’t know about Europe, you might get stuck with streaming.

I imagine Toho is looking at as limited as some of the bigger anime movie releases. And lets admit it, Godzilla is bigger than Ultraman, and isn't being kneecapped by Toei like Kamen Rider.

Yeah, based on this:

Godzilla Spotted Approaching America! New Japanese Production Arriving In December

they seem to be planning a pretty big push on the licensing/merchandising front so hopefully that translates into decent screen numbers. I live in hope!

One interesting aspect that just came to mind is, given how Oppenheimer later regretted the creation of the atom bomb, how he would, in-universe with any of these movies, have felt about his invention birthing this gargantuan monster that is annihilates everything and everyone in its path.

Someone could write a really interesting Godzilla fan-fic piece with that concept.

Damn. Looks great. I'm going to futilely pray for same day worldwide release.

Funny you bring up Oppenheimer, because I just thought that the Godzilla Minus One trailer reminded me of that epic and chilling Godzilla 2014 teaser with Oppenheimer's "Destroyer of Worlds" as the voice over for their trailer.

Christmas is coming early with this.

For as much as I enjoy Godzilla 2014, I wonder what could have been if the movie ended up as well represented by that teaser. Massively missed opportunity, so I hope Minus One is much more akin to it. So far given the tone, time period and imagery, it might do just that.

A Godzilla emerging a short while after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with a scarred Japan still processing them makes for a horrifyingly apocalyptic concept that I hope is executed to its fullest potential.

I look forward to the SH Monsterarts.

 

[Arachnerd]

He looks so angry and intimidating, I love it. The bigger dorsal fins bring me back to Godzilla 2000.

 

[Drizzle]

It's pretty amazing how many times Godzilla's been redesigned over the years and it still feels fresh.

Would you expect anything less from the King of Thespians?

 

[squeekness]

Looks fantastic!

 

[Arachnerd]

Japan is going to be left into nothing but literal ash at the end of this movie, I bet. I am curious to know more concrete plot points and given that since this is a reimagining of Gojira, if there will be a version of Serizawa in there.

 

[Sithborg]

Goddamnit, there it is. Tamashii Nations is making a goddamn frontal assault on my wallet this year. Finally had a string of releases I didn't need. (One I want, though is, ummm, expensive)

 

[Punisher_MAX]

This might honestly be the best looking Godzilla to date.

 

[Ninjablade]

I love that design, goddamn.

 

[Pennywise]

 

[Arachnerd]

Holy cow, that gave me so many goosebumps and it's just a short teaser for the next trailer. Really reminiscent of Godzilla 2014's opening credits too. Can't freaking wait for this movie.

 

[Broseph44]

Can’t wait for the full trailer.
