Toho has announced a new Godzilla film titled 'Godzilla -0.0', directed and produced by the team behind the successful 2023 film 'Godzilla Minus One'. The new movie continues the franchise's legacy, which began in 1954, and follows the recent success of the previous installment, which was a box office hit and won an Oscar for visual effects.
Marvel Comics is set to launch a six-issue crossover event titled 'Godzilla vs. Marvel' in 2025, marking the first such collaboration in nearly fifty years. The series will feature Godzilla interacting with Marvel superheroes like the Fantastic Four, Hulk, Spider-Man, X-Men, and Thor, with the first issue debuting in March. This event coincides with Godzilla's 70th anniversary and follows successful negotiations with rights holder Toho. The crossover aims to capitalize on Godzilla's recent resurgence in popularity.
"Godzilla Minus One" has made history by simultaneously topping Netflix and iTunes VOD charts following an unexpected release. The film, which grossed $56 million in the U.S. and Canada, skipped the usual higher-priced PVOD rental and went directly to a $5.99 rental on iTunes. This surprise release has led to significant viewership, pushing it to #1 on both platforms.
Netflix has added the acclaimed 2023 film "Godzilla Minus One" to its UK library, delighting fans who have eagerly awaited its streaming release. The Japanese film, which became the highest-grossing Japanese live-action film in the US and Canada and won an Oscar for Best Visual Effects, is now the eighth most-watched film in the UK on Netflix. The movie will be available on Netflix US later this year.
Toho's "Godzilla Minus One," which won an Oscar for Special Effects, is now available on Netflix and VOD platforms after a six-month theatrical run in the U.S. and Canada. The film's home release on June 1 is unusual for a Saturday and suggests specific contractual agreements. Despite the delay, the film is expected to be popular, especially with a lower rental price of $5.99.
"Godzilla Minus One," a highly praised low-budget monster movie set in post-WWII Japan, is coming to Netflix in many international markets this weekend, but there's no confirmation for the US yet. However, it will likely be available to rent or buy soon. Update: The movie is now available on Netflix in the US.
The streaming release of "Godzilla Minus One" is delayed due to an agreement between Toho and Legendary Entertainment, with the film likely not available for streaming until later April at the earliest, following the theatrical run of "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire." This delay is to prevent competition between the two productions, and while fans may be disappointed by the wait, they will have to wait until after the release of "Godzilla x Kong" for "Godzilla Minus One" to become available for streaming.
"Godzilla Minus One," the Oscar-winning film for Best Visual Effects, has become a box-office sensation, but fans are unable to legally watch it outside of Japan due to a contractual agreement between Toho and Legendary Entertainment. The agreement stipulates that neither studio can release a "Godzilla" movie within the same calendar year as the other, leading to the film's absence from theaters and digital platforms. Despite this setback, Toho stands to profit from its partnership with Legendary and Warner Bros. Meanwhile, the impending release of "Godzilla x Kong" further complicates the situation, leaving audiences eagerly awaiting official word on when they can watch the acclaimed movie at home.
A new video released by Toho provides a behind-the-scenes look at the impressive VFX of Godzilla Minus One, showcasing the intricate work behind the movie's Oscar-nominated visual effects, including the creation of water sequences, city recreations, and more with a smaller team than a typical Marvel movie. The video offers insight into the filmmaking process, highlighting the innovative techniques used to bring the film to life, while also emphasizing the movie's captivating visual effects beyond just Godzilla himself.
Toho's successful film "Godzilla Minus One" is getting a black & white version titled "Godzilla Minus One Minus Color," which will be released in U.S. theaters on January 26, 2024, for one week only. The monochrome version aims to evoke the classic black & white spirit of Toho's original Godzilla movie from 1954 and has received positive reviews. Directed by Takashi Yamazaki, the film presents a post-World War II Japan facing a new threat in the form of Godzilla and is rated PG-13 for "creature violence and action."
Japanese studio Toho has acquired a 25% stake in Fifth Season, the U.S.-based independent studio known for producing Apple TV+'s Severance and Max's Tokyo Vice, for $225 million. South Korean entertainment giant CJ ENM will retain majority ownership, while Toho becomes a strategic shareholder. The deal aims to create new opportunities for collaboration between CJ ENM, Fifth Season, and Toho, and expand Fifth Season's global presence.
The trailer for "Godzilla Minus One," the new live-action Japanese Godzilla movie from Toho, reveals a return to the kaiju's terrifying past. Set in the late 1940s, the film depicts Godzilla attacking a post-World War II Japan already devastated by defeat. The trailer highlights the historical link between Godzilla and Japan's darkest days, featuring scenes of nuclear explosions, dead soldiers, and postwar misery. Written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki, "Godzilla Minus One" aims to restore the monster's elemental scariness. Toho's deal with Legendary Pictures prevents them from releasing a live-action film in the same year, so they plan to swiftly release the movie in the U.S. before Legendary's "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire" in 2024.
Toho has announced the title and release date for its next Godzilla film, "Godzilla Minus One," which will be the first domestic Japanese film since "Shin Godzilla" in 2016. The teaser reveals a furious Godzilla, and the movie is set to open in Japan on November 3 and in the U.S. on December 1. Directed by Takashi Yamazaki, the film will showcase a postwar Japan facing a new threat from Godzilla.
