TOHO streamed a new 1.43:1 IMAX trailer for Godzilla Minus Zero, the sequel to Godzilla Minus One directed by Takashi Yamazaki. The film is set in 1949, two years after the original. It opens in Japan on November 3 and in North America on November 6, the first time a Japan-produced Godzilla film opens in both regions the same week. It is also the first Japanese film to qualify for the "Filmed for IMAX" label.
Min Tanaka joins the cast as biologist Kanji Murakami, alongside returning Godzilla Minus One performers Ryūnosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, and Hidetaka Yoshioka. Yūki Yamada, Kuranosuke Sasaki, Sakura Andō, and Miō Tanaka also return.
Yamazaki is back as director, screenwriter, and VFX supervisor, with Naoki Satō composing. Production is underway at TOHO Studios, with ROBOT producing and Shirogumi Inc. handling visual effects.
November 3 is Godzilla Day, the anniversary of the first Godzilla film's 1954 release. Godzilla Minus One opened in Japan on the same date in 2023. The sequel also opens the same week in Latin America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand, with additional international dates to come.
