Godzilla -1.0 (2023) General Discussion Thread
Recently news has come to light due to the casting call for extras that Toho is working on a new kaiju movie, helmed by Takashi Yamazaki, director of such works as Always Sunset on Third Street, Returner, and the live action Battleship Yamato.
Only info on the movie itself is that it’s set between 1945 and 1947, filming begins next month, and that the working title is just “Blockbuster Kaiju Movie”.

Don't forget Godzilla the Ride! It really shows his talent about Kaiju genre. It was also set in the Showa era.GodzillavsRayquaza wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 4:52 pm Takashi Yamazaki, director of such works as Always Sunset on Third Street, Returner, and the live action Battleship Yamato.

Re: New Kaiju Movie Directed by Takashi Yamazaki in the Works
A lot of Japanese fans are already speculating it's Godzilla.
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't - but I'll eat my hat if Toho doesn't have something planned for the 2024 anniversary, so the math lines up for this.

The extra recruitment list:
- The crew of the ship in the harbor
- Women passing by or watching form the harbor
- Former Navy men
- Black market passersby, shoppers, drinkers, clerk, etc.
- Harbor workers
- People who have run away
- Former soldiers gathering at a certain meeting
- People running away from downtown
- Police officers and investigators in the destroyed city
- Demobilized soldiers on the deck of a demobilized ship
It seems to be a scene where something comes out of the sea and attacks a port city.

What if this is a prequel to Godzilla? Maybe not a G film at all or something to crosspromote into the G 70th film. What if this is just part of the film?

I hope it is the 70th anniversary film. I would gladly welcome a new live action full feature film from Toho. Once a decade is just not often enough.
I unapologetically, wholeheartedly, and without a doubt hate Godzilla vs Kong.

Re: New Kaiju Movie Directed by Takashi Yamazaki in the Works
I'm 90% sure this is a Godzilla film, but even if it isn't this is still exciting. A new live-action Toho Kaiju film, regardless of if it's Godzilla, is buzz worthy on it's own.
I'm excited because I liked the Godzilla scene in Always Sunny film, and I also enjoyed the Godzilla the Ride action. I'm assuming this is like with Anno how he had a "trial" through the Giant God Warrior idea.

It may be time to answer the call. Maybe this can make up for my scene in Godzilla Zero Hour never being released.vastatosaurus wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 5:31 pm The extra recruitment list:

Re: New Kaiju Movie Directed by Takashi Yamazaki in the Works
On the off chance that anyone gets into casting or extras, please remember the site has a no leak policy. Additionally, I read the the extra application form out of curiosity, and it's pretty clear you can't record or discuss anything you see should you be chosen. I wouldn't recommend publicly posting about it if you're serious about getting involved until it happens.

Friendly reminder that not EVERY Toho kaiju film has to be Godzilla.

Re: New Kaiju Movie Directed by Takashi Yamazaki in the Works
If I had to wager, it's completely unconnected to the "shin" crossover/series. Anno directed/had his hand in all of those, and this is clearly directed by another person. If Shin Ultraman really does get released this year, then Shin Kamen Rider may/could get released in 2023, and that leaves this film a nice time to get released.

An original kaiju movie would actually be quite welcome. It's been ages since Toho has done a non Godzilla kaiju film.
