Toho’s Shin Godzilla is stomping into theaters next month with a brand new 4K remaster courtesy of Gkids, and they’ve released a stunning new trailer for the release.
Look for Shin Godzilla in theaters on August 14, with a home release to follow.
The film, originally released in 2016, will be released in its original Japanese language with subtitles, including restored text cards and a 4K remaster that has never before been released in North America.
In Shin Godzilla, “The Prime Minister of Japan pleads with the public to remain calm after a horrific creature of tremendous size makes landfall in the city, leaving death and destruction in its wake. Then, it evolves. The government assembles a motley task force to combat the monster when an envoy from the US Department of State delivers a folder of classified documents. On its cover is written ‘Godzilla.’”
Hideaki Anno (“Neon Genesis Evangelion” franchise) and Shinji Higuchi (Shin Ultraman) direct from a screenplay by Anno, with visual effects by Higuchi.
Shin Godzilla was the first Godzilla film produced by Toho since 2004’s Godzilla Final Wars and became a massive hit upon release, amassing 11 Japan Academy Prize nominations, and took home seven wins, including best picture and director of the year. It became the highest-grossing Japanese Godzilla film ever, that is, until Godzilla Minus One surpassed it.
