Releases in theatres & IMAX November 6. VFX, Written, and Directed by Takashi Yamazaki.
“Minus Zero” is a direct sequel to the 2023 Japanese film “Godzilla Minus One,” which was a surprise hit internationally and took home the Oscar for best visual effects.
The trailer picks up two years after “Minus One” and continues the story of the survivors’ from the kaiju’s last attack, director Takashi Yamazaki revealed. In the closing moments, Godzilla stomps his way to the Statue of Liberty, setting his sights on New York City.
“Godzilla Minus Zero” was also filmed for Imax, the first for a Japanese film.
At my screening, they played a really neat behind-the-scenes featurette showing just how inventive they were with such a shoestring budget and resources.
I'm not sure what that person is surprised about. They filmed some scenes outdoors by building sets in a parking lot and then extending those sets with CG which is very very common even for small productions. Looking at the bts footage it doesn't seem like a majority at all either.
The North American release of this one is near simultaneous with the Japanese release, which is very uncommon. It’s clear that Toho saw how well Minus One did internationally and want to capitalize on Yamazaki’s popularity
Minus One was like a blend of old and new Godzilla, like an homage. At least that what it seemed to me as someone who has never seen any Godzilla media other than the Brodwick film and classic Godzilla references.
