Brace yourself to have that unforgettable theme tune echoing in your mind once more! Indeed, renowned director Takashi Yamazaki has begun the production of the highly anticipated sequel to Godzilla Minus One. For years, Hollywood tried and failed, with varying success, to introduce Godzilla in the U.S. However, Yamazaki breathed new life into the king of the monsters on a shoestring budget by returning him to Japanese soil. The result was a film that many consider to be the best Godzilla movie ever made. Minus One captivated audiences with its emotional depth, pulse-pounding action, and award-winning visual effects. Given the massive response, it’s no surprise that fans are eager for more!
At the Visual Effects Society Awards (as reported by Variety), Takashi Yamazaki disclosed that he had started writing the script and sketching out storyboards for the eagerly awaited sequel. The upcoming movie was initially unveiled in November of the previous year. Yamazaki didn’t share any possible plot points, but it is anticipated to focus on pilot Koichi Shikishima and his wife Noriko Oishi after they survived the initial conflict with Godzilla, where they supposedly destroyed the kaiju by detonating it from within.
Viewers will long recall the climactic scene in Godzilla Minus One, where the main character sinks to the ocean floor, only for an eye to open on his destroyed face as it starts to heal again. The sequel could possibly introduce a fresh set of characters, who must confront Godzilla’s return after several years. At this point, all we have is confirmation that Toho Studios has given the go-ahead for production on the sequel.
The ‘Godzilla Minus One’ Sequel Will Have a Much Bigger Budget
If you recall the journey of “Godzilla Minus One” towards the Oscars, you might remember the excitement surrounding its minimal budget in comparison to other movies competing for the Best Visual Effects award (which included “The Creator” and “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3”). On a shoestring budget of only $15 million, director Takashi Yamazaki and his small team managed to outshine the bigger Hollywood productions by winning the award for Best VFX. They even brought miniature Godzillas on stage with them in an impressive blend of CGI and miniature work.
Once more, Yamazaki feels Toho is providing him with a substantially bigger financial allocation, even if he didn’t disclose a specific amount. Given his previous work with $15 million, viewers are eagerly anticipating an epic city-ravaging kaiju sequence in the sequel with a higher budget. In the meantime, Hollywood is working on another Godzilla X Kong movie, ensuring that Godzilla enthusiasts will have ample exciting content to look forward to in the near future.
As a huge fan, I can’t help but eagerly anticipate the sequel to “Godzilla Minus One,” tentatively titled options such as “Godzilla Minus Two,” “Godzilla Plus One,” or even “Godzilla Zero.” While details about the plot are still scarce, director Takashi Yamazaki has hinted at his plans for this upcoming film. The original movie was acclaimed for its human-centric storyline and the perfect blend of Godzilla’s destruction in Japan. In the sequel, Yamazaki aims to preserve that balance while introducing even more kaiju. He expressed his desire to tackle the intriguing challenge of maintaining a serious tone for the kaiju-versus-kaiju action alongside human drama.
