SHIN GODZILLA Stomps Onto 4K UHD With Deluxe Collector’s Edition
Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi's kaiju epic was originally released back in 2016.
Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi's kaiju epic Shin Godzilla is stomping onto 4K UHD with a stacked Deluxe Collector's Edition physical media release from Toho that includes the black and white Shin Godzilla: ORTHOchromatic cut.
Released in 2016, Shin Godzilla stars Hiroki Hasegawa, Yutaka Takenouchi and Satomi Ishihara, with a supporting cast including Japanese genre mainstays Shin'ya Tsukamoto and Jun Kunimura, as politicians dealing with the bureaucratic red tape that comes along with a giant monster appearing off the coast of Tokyo. Upon release, Shin Godzilla grossed $79 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing Japanese-produced Godzilla film in the franchise’s history until Takashi Yamazaki's Oscar-winning Godzilla Minus One came along in 2023.
The new Collector's Edition set, which ships in October, comes with a host of special features including deleted scenes, outtakes and a special booklet translated directly from the Japanese version of the release. Super kaiju collectors can also upgrade to the Ultimate Collector's Edition which includes the 4K UHD + Blu-ray set and an exclusive purple “Doomed” t-shirt.
The new 4K restoration of Shin Godzilla is currently playing across U.S. theaters, coinciding with the exciting news also recently dropping that a sequel is potentially in the works at Toho.
