“Set in a post-war Japan, Godzilla Minus 1 will once again show us a Godzilla that is a terrifying and overwhelming force, which you already get a sense of from the teaser trailer and poster,” Koji Ueda, President of Toho International, said in a statement. “The concept is that Japan, which had already been devastated by the war, faces a new threat with Godzilla, bringing the country into the ‘minus.'” Godzilla Minus One, also known as ゴジラ-1.0 or Gojira Mainasu Wan in Japanese, is both written and directed by the Japanese producer / filmmaker Takashi Yamazaki, director of many films including Space Battleship Yamato, The Fighter Pilot, Stand by Me Doraemon, Parasyte: Part 1 & 2, Destiny: The Tale of Kamakura, Lupin III: The First, Dragon Quest: Your Story, and Ghost Book previously.

Toho will debut Godzilla Minus One in theaters in Japan starting on November 3rd, 2023 this fall. It will also open in theaters in the US starting on December 1st, 2023 next month.
