Godzilla Minus One’s Director Is Working On Another Movie With The Kaiju, And Fans Are Freaking Out

As a long-time Godzilla enthusiast with memories of late-night viewings and countless hours spent discussing the finer points of Kaiju lore, I can confidently say that the announcement of a new Godzilla movie directed by Takashi Yamazaki is nothing short of exhilarating. After the breathtaking spectacle of Godzilla Minus One and the equally impressive Shin Godzilla, my expectations are sky-high for this upcoming film.


Godzilla, a character who’s been around for 70 years, might never have enjoyed such widespread popularity as he does now. The iconic monster has experienced a remarkable surge in popularity due to successful films on both Eastern and Western shores. Excitement continues to build as an entirely new Godzilla movie has officially been revealed, leaving fans of the Japanese series particularly ecstatic.

Today, it’s been officially confirmed that Toho Studios is producing a new Godzilla film. The upcoming movie will be scripted, directed, and boast visual effects supervised by the genius behind Godzilla Minus One, Takashi Yamazaki. Naturally, if you were a fan of his work, this announcement is incredibly exciting news.

The upcoming movie features Godzilla, and while we don’t know specifics like whether it’s a direct sequel to “Godzilla Minus One” or an entirely new take, it’s made by the same filmmaker. It seems that fans are excited about the movie’s release regardless of the details, as they’re just happy to see Godzilla on the big screen again.

The concluding scene of “Godzilla Minus One” hinted at a potential sequel, and its director, Takashi Yamazaki, had indeed expressed interest in further installments. However, he also showed enthusiasm for witnessing fresh interpretations of “Godzilla” from other filmmakers. Given the blockbuster success of the “Godzilla” movie not only in Japan but globally, a sequel seemed almost inevitable for a Western production. Yet, Toho’s approach with the franchise has been to allow various directors to contribute their unique perspectives on Godzilla. To put it simply, the latest film seems to have sparked a surge of passionate “Godzilla” fans worldwide.

It’s tough not to be swept up in the fervor of being a massive fan of Godzilla right now. The movie, Godzilla Minus One, was simply outstanding, possibly the best Godzilla film ever produced. This is quite a statement, given that the previous Godzilla movie in Japan, Shin Godzilla, was also exceptionally good. What’s notable is Toho’s decision to entrust the next installment of the franchise to the filmmaker of Godzilla Minus One.

Regardless if we see a follow-up to Godzilla Minus One or something fresh, the benchmark for the next Godzilla movie will undoubtedly be high. After all, Minus One didn’t just break box office records, it also earned an Academy Award for its visual effects. As one enthusiast noted, it’s challenging not to anticipate another successful venture from the team behind such a triumph.

If the film has just been given approval to proceed (i.e., greenlit), it means we’re likely several years away from seeing the final product on the big screen, and it might even take longer. One of the first steps is writing the script before the production process begins. It’s evident that many enthusiasts worldwide will eagerly await this film as it approaches cinemas.
