The details were weak, but Toho confirmed in November 2024 that Takashi Jamazaki was really working on a sequel to his unexpected Oscar hit, which won "Godzilla minus one". The film was one of the biggest surprises of recent memory, such as critical and commercially, almost immediately Related as one of the best films "Godzilla" ever. While we still do not continue to continue through specifics, we now have an encouraging update for the sequel status.

After DiversityJamazaki was recently available at the visual effects of society, where he was honored with the visionary award. During the event, the director confirmed that he was actively working on the script and stories of his next film "Godzilla", which means the film is firm in pre-production. Moreover, Jamazaki has also revealed that there will be a "more" budget this time around. Although no accurate figure was not provided, it is almost certain good news for both him and fans of the Godzilla franchise in general.

Instead of incredible, Jamazaki managed to make a "minus one" for less than $ 15 million. Well, the film was made in Japan and, for the lack of unions like those in Hollywood, the costs are not balloons. That said, the film was a huge intersection, taking only one shipped under $ 114 million worldwide at the box office to go with almost universal recognition. It has also become the first and only movie "Godzilla" in history to win an OscarTaking home the award for best visual effects.

All this to say, Jamazaki has earned a larger budget. As for the story she cooks? It remains a mystery. "Godzilla minus one" took place in Japan in the immediate vicinity of World War II, at that moment the country, still devastated by the war, is forced to face the terror of Godzilla. Since the destroyed Japanese people are already struggling to survive (and their government that makes too little to help), they must find a way to gather together and fight the destructive Astver alone.

For a moment, it is unclear whether Jamazaki will do directly Sequel of "Minus One", though the strange marks of Noriko (Minami Hamabe) at the end of that film They suggest that there may be a trail with the characters of the film. It is also possible for Jamazaki to decide simply to make a whole new story. In any case, we have already seen what the director was able to achieve with fairly limited resources and was extremely extraordinary. Imaging that he could have done with more money (and probably creative freedom) is exciting, talking about himself.

While the toho has yet to give this new film release date, 2026 does not look impossible, which is already firmly in progress with pre-production. We can also be comforted when we know that Jamazaki is not ready to accept you, even because Hollywood continues to count on technology. Indeed, the director talked about the effects of AI on the film industry during the events mentioned through an interpreter. He explained that he was still preferring more techniques for old schools (suggesting that he would approach his next movie "Godzilla"):

"Until recently, I was still filming on a movie and I want to use miniatures. So I know that one day we will have to accept and work with AI, but I will probably be one of the later because I want to work with older technology and techniques." .

Instead of definitely, we can say that it is a great time to be a fan of the king of monsters. Besides this movie we got the upcoming "Godzilla X Kong" sequel from Monstrverse on the roadWhat will be directed by a grant spator ("I'm a mother"). Not only that, but Apple TV+ is also working on "Monarch: Monsters' Heritage" Season 2, with some possible spin-offs. Double all with everything IDW takes place in the comics and "Godzilla" probably has never been bigger. Not bad for a 70-year-old monster.

You can grab "Godzilla Minus One" on 4K, Blu-ray or DVD from Amazon.
