After the success of the U.S. Godzilla remake, Toho announced they were developing a brand new Japanese Godzilla film of their own.
In the first “Domestic Godzilla” since the 2004 Godzilla Final Wars, Toho Company Ltd. will be producing an all-new Godzilla film to be released in 2016.
Making the rounds from all sorts of various sites comes the below teaser image that show Godzilla’s footprint, with news that Anno Hideaki is the film’s writer and supervising director, with Anno Hideaki directing the pic.
In addition, Skreeonk shares a translation via Anime News Network in which they are taking Godzilla in a “nightmare” direction.
Higuchi entered the film industry when he worked on the 1984 Godzilla film, so he remarked with delight on directing the new Godzilla film, “Finally, the time has come.” He added, “Playtime is over,” and acknowledged the pressure on him. Still, he vowed, “Next year, I will deliver the greatest and worst nightmare to everyone.”
TOHO unveiled an image (pictured below) of the foot of its new Godzilla on Wednesday. According to Cinema Today, the foot is indicative of the new Godzilla being the tallest one yet, towering over the 108-meter-tall (about 355-foot-tall) incarnation in Gareth Edwards and Legendary Pictures’ 2014 Hollywood film. The setting of TOHO‘s new Godzilla flm is Japan.
Anno is now writing the new Godzilla film’s screenplay. Filming begins this fall, and TOHO will release the film in theaters next summer.
