Multiple Monsters For ‘Godzilla’; Lawsuit Gets Ugly
CHUD is reporting that Legendary and Warner Bros.’ Godzilla will feature more than the iconic dino monster. They report “confirmed” news that the Gareth Edwards-directed film, in theaters May 16, 2014, will feature more than one monster, adding that two new monsters will also be wreaking havoc.
Warner Bros. has also made it clear that their interpretation of the material “follows the story of a solider” and is “way different” than the Toho Godzilla films. Shooting begins this spring.
In other news, things are getting ugly with the removal of two producers on the reboot. Deadline discovered that Legendary Pictures today filed suit (read it here) against producers Dan Lin, Roy Lee and Doug Davison to have them removed from the sequel and to stop a potential temporary restraining order by them against the film’s production. This is truly bizarre news to me as I personally have known the trio to be attached since before we exclusively broke the news on the remake back in August of 2009.
Godzilla is headed back to the big screen in Toho’s Godzilla Minus Zero from director Takashi Yamazaki (Godzilla Minus One), the official sequel to his hit Godzilla Minus One.
The first Japanese movie to be filmed for IMAX, Godzilla Minus Zero will receive a wide theatrical release in North America on November 6, 2026 via GKIDS.
Can’t wait that long? You’re not alone…
Watch the brand new official teaser trailer for Godzilla Minus Zero below!
Godzilla Minus One stars Ryunosuke Kamiki and Minami Hamabe will both be reprising their roles in Godzilla Minus Zero, with Takashi Yamazaki back in the director’s chair.
The film is set in 1949 — two years after the events of its predecessor.
Godzilla Minus Zero marks Toho’s 34th Godzilla film since 1954.
Godzilla Minus One grossed $116 million worldwide, making it the most successful Japanese Godzilla film. It went on to win an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects along with eight Japan Academy Film Prize awards. Needless to say, the bar has been raised by Toho.
With Yamazaki back at the helm, Godzilla Minus Zero promises to be an epic EVENT.
Stay tuned for more real soon.
