New Godzilla Movie Announced, Godzilla Minus One Director Returning

As a die-hard fan of the King of Monsters, I can hardly contain my excitement about the new Godzilla movie! Takashi Yamazaki, the mastermind behind the phenomenal success of Godzilla Minus One, is back at the helm! His crew’s Academy Award for Best Visual Effects was a historic first for Japanese filmmakers, and their box office triumph solidified the legend of the iconic kaiju.


It’s been announced that a fresh Godzilla film is being developed by Toho, in collaboration with the director behind the blockbuster success “Godzilla Minus One.

The latest update about the Godzilla movie came through a post on social media from the official account. It was revealed that production has been given the go-ahead and that Takashi Yamazaki, who previously worked on Godzilla Minus One as writer, director, and VFX specialist, will be reprising these roles for this new project. No further details were provided.

What do we know about the new Godzilla movie?

Right now, it’s undecided if the upcoming Godzilla film is going to be a continuation of ‘Godzilla Minus One’ or a fresh storyline revolving around the legendary monster known as Godzilla.

Yamazaki’s work on the movie “Godzilla Minus One” garnered him immense acclaim upon its release. Not only was this film the highest-grossing Japanese Godzilla movie ever made, but his team also became the first Japanese crew to win an Academy Award – specifically for Best Visual Effects.

The movie raked in an impressive sum at the ticket sales, grossing over $115 million worldwide, while its production budget was only around $10-15 million. This made it the third highest-grossing Japanese film of 2023 and surpassed Shin Godzilla as the most profitable Godzilla movie from Japan.

Before diving into the groundbreaking project of Godzilla Minus One, I was already a well-established figure in the Japanese film industry, boasting eight Japanese Academy Awards, five Nikkan Sports Film Awards, two Hochi Film Awards, and an Asian Film Award under my belt. Yet, it was this remarkable work on Godzilla Minus One that propelled me into true superstardom.
