Godzilla Minus Zero — First look at the next kaiju threat

Don’t look behind you…

If you like the Warner Bros. Godzilla movies, you probably will love the versions that originate in Japan. Godzilla is the longest running continuous film franchise in the world, going back to the original movie Godzilla, which premiered in 1954. You haven’t really watched a Godzilla movie until you’ve seen the kaiju–giant monsters–produced with that unique style only Japanese filmmakers have captured. If you haven’t seen a live-action Japanese Godzilla movie since the 2016 film Shin Godzilla (which we discussed here at borg), a gritty film with some of the best scenes yet designed to look like “found footage,” then somehow you missed the biggest thing to happen to gojira this decade: the Oscar-winning Godzilla Minus One, reviewed here at borg.

The next Japanese Godzilla movie is coming to the U.S. in time for Thanksgiving from the same studio–Toho Co. Ltd.–and Takashi Yamazaki is again the writer, director, and creator of special effects. The teaser and trailer for Godzilla Minus Zero follows another decades-old trend, retro to genre movies of the past, bringing Godzilla to America, specifically New York City. Yep, Godzilla is going to wreak havoc on the U.S.A. Check out this brief trailer for Godzilla Minus Zero:
