Toho is celebrating the smash hit success of their new film Godzilla Minus One with a “minus color” model of the film in theaters over in Japan subsequent month, we’ve realized!

The model new black & white model of Godzilla Minus One will open in Japanese theaters on January 12, 2024, with no phrase but on a launch right here within the United States.

Toho’s Godzilla Minus One, written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki, sees an already devastated post-World War II Japan going through a new menace within the type of Godzilla.

Yamazaki mentioned in a new assertion tonight, “We are now able to announce Godzilla-1.0/C, which we have been working on for a long time. Rather than just making it monochrome, it is a cut by cut. I had them make adjustments while making full use of various mattes, as if they were creating a new movie. What I was aiming for was a style that looked like it was taken by masters of monochrome photography. We were able to unearth the texture of the skin and the details of the scenery that were hidden in the photographed data. Then, a frightening Godzilla, just like the one in the documentary, appeared. By eliminating color, a new sense of reality emerges. Please live and resist further fear at the theater.”

Watch the trailer for the monochrome model of Godzilla Minus One under, which evokes the basic black & white spirit of Toho’s authentic Godzilla film from again in 1954.

Matt Donato writes in his 4.5 star evaluation for Bloody Disgusting, “Minus One is a blessing to Toho’s kaiju franchise and a towering accomplishment for the entire kaiju subgenre.”
