Move aside 2014 Godzilla, Toho’s upcoming Shin Gojira (which has been set as the official title) has seen your height of 108 meters and plans on exceeding that!
A recent newspaper clipping opened up about the title, cast, and plot details for Shin Gojira and Gormaru Island Facebook Page has translated it into English.
Firstly, they describe the three main characters:
Hiromi Hasegawa is our male lead character. Hasegawa is an honest and staight-forward kind of guy, leading as the male lead for the movie.
Yutaka Takenouchi plays the role of a government official within an attacked modern day Japan. [Takenouchi] states that the 29th Godzilla film, like the 1954 film will be one of the strongest Godzilla films within the series.
Satomi Ishihara plays a US Agent, and the heroine in the movie when swept into the madness.
The confirmed title of Shin Gojira, “…is meant to be an expression of resurrecting the true Godzilla. As this Godzilla will put the fearful “God” rightly in its name.”
Production on the film apparently started on August 10th and will wrap towards the end of October. Toho aims to release the film in Summer 2016.
Shin Gojira is co-directed by Hideaki Anno (Evangelion) and Shinji Higuchi (Attack on Titan). Anno has written the script.
