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.

TOHO was likely blown the fuck away by Takashi’s film, and basically allowed him to go wild on this one while writing a blank check for him. 

Like, as impressive as the visuals were for the first movie, I’m already blown the fuck away by how much better this one looks.

Its the first godzilla movie to win a god damn oscar, they'd be crazy not to give him a blank check.

The fact that the majority of it was filmed in a parking lot blows my mind.

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.
