>Toho are heavily invested in Takashi Yamazaki's next Godzilla movie, planning for an ambitious global impact. Toho president Hiroyasu Matsuoka confirmed in a recent interview that Godzilla Minus Zero is being produced with the explicit aim of targeting the global market. Unlike Godzilla Minus One, its upcoming sequel will have a much larger and more expansive release. >We also recently learned that Toho will be distributing Minus Zero on their own in North America, not relying on third party distributors like they have in the past. Toho are keeping a close guard on their highly valuable slate of live action Godzilla films, realizing the appeal and influence they now have in overseas markets – and we can't blame them, Minus One really put Toho back on the map.https://godzilla-movies.com/news/toho-targeting-massive-worldwide-release-takashi-yamazaki-s-godzilla-minus-zero
>>216927863>Minus Zero>not Minus TwoFor what purpose?
>>216927863Why do I have a feeling that this will under perform. Toho already shot themselves in the foot when they fucked up the distribution of Minus One because they don't know how to make a compromise with local distributors.
>>216927863But not a release interfering with Kong X Godzilla right ?
>>216928339No, Minus Zero releases fall 2026 and Supernova in March 2027. My bet for Minus Zero is at some point in september to october.
>>216927863Cool
>>216928072Do you not know what the "Minus One" title meant
>>216927863>no sign of JAV hotties getting eaten in this filmDropped
Minus One was fucking trash
What is with this naming convention of "Minus One, Minus Zero?"
>>216927863>Minus OneImagine getting the Oscar buzz but Japs were not ready for the movie to be released in USA during that period. Japs don't know when to strike when the iron is hot.
>>216929377I thought it signified a new continuity. What is it actually referring to?
>>216927863Nice
>>216929954>>216930217The original Godzilla was set in the 1950's about the post-war generation, Minus One however was set in the 1940's during the last days of the war through the early reconstruction periodThe title is a play on the belief that the destruction of Japan and it's surrender reduced it to less than nothing - so rather than zero, minus one
>>216930447so then what’s the significance of minus zero as opposed to just zero?
>>216930447This is also why I think the Minus version of King Ghidorah would be tied to the Colds War, and possibly be created by the Tsar Bomba test
>>216930545stay tuned
>>216930447That's so stupid. But I know you weebs will defend japs no matter what they do.
>>216930550but is this second minus film going to be a monster v monster? and will it be Anguirus
>>216930447I thought it was that the war already reduced them to zero so godzilla brought it down to minus 1
>>216930761Wow I'm fucking retarded if I had scrolled down 1 more post I would have seen I was wrong
>>216930458keknever change /tv/
>>216930716They haven't specified but It's not going to have a huge timeskip, so Ghidorah and a timeskip would be better saved for a third film
>>216927863I was rooting for Godzilla: Plus Two with two Godzilla showing up.
>>216927863Minus One was anime slop for morons. Where the fuck is the Shin sequel
>>216927863So legendries deal with Toho is they can use Tohos characters but they have to pay a separate fee for each character they useI wonder if there's a deal in the other direction for Toho using legendries original kaiju, I really like behemoth
>>216927863>Godzilla Minus Zero is being produced with the explicit aim of targeting the global market
>>216930825Maybe it's a mistranslation and he's only talking about the publishing/marketing
>>216930825This
>>216930795Why would Toho want to use Legendary original kaiju? Toho kaiju are ICONIC and ORIGINAL. Legendary aren't.
>>216927863>>216929954Can't wait for Godzilla divide by zero in a few years.
>>216928072Because +1 not -1 anon sheesh
>>216931076They also filmed in Norway and New Zealand.>In addition, The Hollywood Reporter has reported that film will be shooting outside Japan in New Zealand and Norway. https://godzilla-movies.com/news/godzilla-minus-zero-shooting-outside-japan
>>216927863I hope this movie flops hard. I hated the characters in -1, especially the main guy. Anime-tier acting.
>>216931883Why
>>216932109Too sentimental, I've seen these exact same character archetypes in other jap movies to the point I just couldn't buy into them being real so they all came off as performative. The main characters acting was bad, overly dramatic and frankly irritating to listen to.
>>216932155Ah ok
I liked -1 and loved the military autism, but gooks can't act for shit
>>216930825This. Minus one was a really weak movie to begin with, I've got no interest in watching a more pozzed version with more girl bosses.I'll watch it just because Hamabe is still in it. But I'm not expecting it to be any good.
Are they FUCKING STUPID? "-1" made sense because it was the prequel to "Godzilla". "-0" is "Godzilla".
Minus Zero is a peak Japanese naming idea
>>216931883The professor or whatever was the most grating idiot but they all sucked. Literally school play tier minus one
Japs saving the day with the power of the kamikaze attack was retarded and masturbatory
>>216927863After the way khara mandates butchered the latest evangelion localization, I firmly believe native English speakers have an obligation to step in and tell Japs when the Engrish they think sounds cool is actually just retarded
>>216932703He ejected before he died. It wasnt true kamakazie but 2023 kamakazie
I’m not watching the movie because of that terrible actor.
why didnt they just send the eagles to fly godzilla into a volcano
>>216932823You are a terrible actor
I like that Godzilla films are back on top, but I'm still sad we never got to see Destoroyah again
>>216933108We will, he will be monsterverse endgame
>>216933108pretty much shin godzilla
>>216930825They mean in the sense of marketing, not how the movie is written, I hope at least
That's cool, but where's the new Shin Godzilla?
>>216927863what do they call the next one?plus one?>>216933856must be early in production, probably still 2 years awayI wonder if it'll be live action or just an anime film
>>216932703Main thing that annoyed me was how Godzilla's 'death' was 1 for 1 from GMK.
>>216930447i thought it meant one godzilla "dead", so -1in the post credits we see godzilla regenerating, so it really is -0
>>2169338562029
>>216927863>Toho are heavily invested in Takashi Yamazaki's next Godzilla movie, planning for an ambitious global impact."We realized how much money we left on the table by not doing a proper international release of Minus One."stupid nips.
>>216932724>After the way khara mandates butchered the latest evangelion localizationMy god, THANK YOU! I actually thought that Funimation was doing a pretty decent job with the localizations and dubs, and making dialogue and conversations sound more natural and like they’re being spoken by actual human beings, but then Khara put the clamp down on it, and it all went back to sounding like a shitty 90s dub.I get the distinct impression that Anno fucking LOATHES foreigners. Except for the French, he sucks off France for some reason.
lol at the troons ITT still seething over a high-quality wholesome moviefilm.
Just wait for Godzilla: Minus Two
>>216929624This. I'm actually dumbfounded that its highly regarded.>completely recycled plot and scenes right down to the "rejects" coming in to save the day, a boring ass jap trope literally copy pasted from other movies>CGI Godzilla looks awful>the main story is hilariously bad and literally lives off of the political surroundings its set in
>>216935254>basic simple movie competently executedIn a world of diarrhea a solid turd is a life raft.
>>216935207Lmao
>>216929624>>216935254I see we’re getting into the “Erm, actually Godzilla Minus One was bad” stage in the cycle.
>>216931162That's why they said Behemoth, he's the only Legendary kaiju that isn't just a stand-in for somebody else.
>>216935207meds
>>216932703That was kino
>>216936003
>>216927863Great, another mid Gozilla movie
>>216927863Godzilla surviving the first one breaks the point of the movie. Very Jewish.
>>216935952It was a legitimately dull movie. I watched Godzilla (1984) a few months prior and I was amazed by how much better a movie they made almost 40 years ago. CG effects are soulless, but even the acting was worse.
>>216928072Because it's a sequel, not a prequel.
>>216930794>Minus One was anime slop for moronsShin was literally Anno plagiarizing himself with all the Evangelion tropes in that fucking thing, what are you on about. If anything, Minus One was an 80s Spielberg movie.>Where the fuck is the Shin sequelIt doesn’t need a sequel.
>>216932155I’m angry at this particular movie because Japanese culture has certain recurring motifs.
Is heisei era good to watch? Where should I start?
>>216927863I love godzilla
>>216936437I like both. Why does everything have to be a gay slap fight?You’re also nuts if you think the cast in 84 is better than Minus One. I’ve seen 84 countless times in my 42 years on this Earth, but I couldn’t tell you the name of a single character, because they’re all just blank slates sitting around in laboratories or control rooms spouting expository dialogue at each other the entire time. Meanwhile, I could rattle off the names of almost the entire main cast of Minus One because they’ve got their own distinct identities, motivations, and moments to shine, and they’re actually out in the world doing stuff, not sitting in a room somewhere reacting to what’s going on.
>>216936500No, Heisei is Godzilla’s worst era. It’s why Gamera fans fucking love to compare their Heisei trilogy to it, even though those films are completely overhyped. Watch these Showa films for the best start:>Gojira (1954)>King Kong vs. Godzilla>Mothra vs. Godzilla>Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster>Destroy All Monsters>Godzilla vs. Hedorah>Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla>Terror of Mechagodzilla
>>216936896>heisei>worstYou are a faggot
>>216936437>Godzilla (1984)Ah yes. I will always remember the epic battle against a pod where Godzilla falls asleep against a building. 1984 was like a test movie to prove they could still do it before going all in on heisei. One of my least re-watched goji flicks.
>>2169365001954 Godzilla1962 King Kong vs. Godzilla1964 Mothra vs. Godzilla1964 Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster1965 Invasion of Astro-Monster1966 Ebirah Horror of the Deep1971 Godzilla vs. Hedorah1972 Godzilla vs. Gigan1974 Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla1975 Terror of Mechagodzilla1989 Godzilla vs. Biollante1993 Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II1995 Godzilla vs. Destoroyah1999 Godzilla 2000 Millenium2001 Godzilla Mothra And King Ghidorah Giant Monsters All-Out Attack2002 Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla2003 Godzilla Tokyo S.O.S.2004 Godzilla Final Wars2016 Shin Godzilla2023 Godzilla: Minus One
>>216937256Bad list
Why can't Japanese actors act normally?I understand why teevee prefers Korean media more now.
>>216937515Who would want them to? Let everyone else act "normally". Anyone notice all these diversity faggots really don't like actual diversity?
>>216930447So, in other words, it's a prequel? And rather than doing the goofy trick Star Wars did by naming the first episode "Godzilla 4", they just negatively numbered the Gdzl prequels?
>>216937755There is no way Minus One can be a prequel to 1954. It makes no sense.
>>216929954Depending on how far advanced your math is it's either they are adding another monster or cosmic horror beyond comprehension. -0 can't a negative number rounded to zero, zero or, the absence of anything including emptyness Imagine white then black then light then dark, now imagine nothing. Not even black or a void. Nothing. That's -0. This nothing cannot be filled by the entire universe or anything. True cosmic horror. No spook skeletons. No void. No blackness. No time. No space. No sound. Nothing and everything can't fill it. We use it in nerd coding for weather forecast basically to figure out how much chaos we have going on in a system. It's not real but it exists as a tool. Why? We have no fucking idea but it works and that sucks because it says things about the universe.
>>216937897We know there is another monster in Minus Zero, we just don't know which one. Many think it's Hedorah.
>>216937755>So, in other words, it's a prequelNope. Completely unrelated in any way shape or form to the 1954 film. It's an actual remake taking notes from across the entire extended Godzilla mythos.>Godzillasaurus pre-evolved form taken from the Heisei Godzilla Vs King Ghidorah>Regeneration introduced in Showa, original film didn't have anything of the sort.>Reporter on the roof sequence from the 1954 film used.>Likewise the radiation burn "After effects" from that movie were used>Atomic style explosion of breath weapon used in GMK>G Cells introduced in VS Biollantte. >The main characters survivor guilt subplot was already used with another character in Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, the MC had the same freeze up and her allies killed scene at the beginning.Could go on and on and on, but the point is it's a full on remake of the original in it's own brand new continuity, which seems to be what they're doing going forwards if Shin is any other indication.
I just have one word for all you retardniggerfaggots: Suitmation.
>>216938150No way
>>216938106Weird because apparently Toho want to do a Shin sequel too
>>216938619habeeb it.
>>216938735AAAAAAAAAHHHHG
>>216938735Based
reminder that anguirus is on this. why not call it minus 2, since monsters fighting will reduce them further
Minus One was very grounded for a Godzilla movie.What would Minus Zero even be about? If new monsters keep being added, the serious tone of the movies will be lost
I really enjoyed -1 but I'll keep my expectations very low for this sequel
>>216937515>teevee prefers Korean mediaanon, Kdrama acting is also exaggerated and theatrical it's an Asian thing
>>216927863I will go to see gojira at the cinema and there's nothing you can do to stop me
>>216938106Ok, so it's not a '54 prequel. So, again, what does the "minus-" stylization mean? Japan was btfo in WWII? Then it would be called "Japan -1," not "Godzilla -1."
>>216940778Maybe one is on our side.
>>216933351Not if Zaslav keeps cheaping out on licenses
>>216941574Which is your favorite?
>>216942917Zaslav has nothing to do woth it. Monsterverse is a Legendary IP and Legendary are a separate company, WB only distribute dune and monsterverse. So if someone cheaps out it's Legendary.
>>216927863Japanese are worse than niggers, they entire cinema is based on "we din du nuffing" during WW2 and potraying themselves as victims.Post war japan lived in best era of its time, rebuild by burger tax payers, and made into tech center of the wrold, the moment burgers moved everything to Taiwan Japan collapsed as it cant even support itself as its bug men have no life or morals.
>>216944109>they entire cinema is based on "we din du nuffing" during WW2 and potraying themselves as victimsThat's pretty much everybody outside of NAmerica and Europe. It really shows who on this planet has self awareness.
>>216944162Cope
>>216944407Cope with being the only race/culture that has a modicum of self awareness? The only crime the white man ever committed against you was inventing mirrors, for which you've never forgiven us.
>>216927863>Minus One becomes Minus ZeroIt makes absolutely no sense, and that is perfectly Japanese.
Shinheads… we are being forgotten
>>216933108>>216933351why do people want to see destoryah again in specific
>>216944823Movie was never going to have legs imo. It's too mired in it's zeitgiest and there's not enough action. I can't think of another goji flick that feels so rooted to a particular moment in time.
>>216940778>reminder that anguirus is on thisplz be true. I miss my boy anguirus and it's criminal he hasn't been any new movies when he is an OG
>>216945053This. The sequel would be Hedorah made of not-covid
>>216932651Are you stupid? The original Godzilla is 1. Minus One = Godzilla -1Minus Zero = Godzilla 0The original film = Godzilla 1Do you not know how integers work?
