The King of all Monsters is ready for his close-up.
Godzilla Minus Zero will make its world premiere next month at the New York Film Festival, according to a report on Deadline. Director Takashi Yamazaki and his crew are scheduled to appear as well.
The official synopsis of Godzilla Minus Zero reads “War reduced Japan to zero, and Godzilla plunged it into minus. Two years have passed since then, and the country has faced agonizing struggles to achieve recovery and finally reclaim its daily life.”
“It is truly an honor to introduce our film to a global audience for the first time in a place of such history and prestige,” Yamazaki said in a statement. “I am filled with both awe and excitement to see how far the power of Japan’s Godzilla can terrify audiences around the world, and whether they will resonate with what lies beyond that fear.”
“More than 70 years after the first Godzilla movie, Takashi Yamazaki continues to prove that there’s life in the old franchise yet, returning to its postwar roots to locate a haunting, primal terror,” festival artistic director Dennis Lim said. “Like its predecessor, Godzilla Minus Zero is a throwback blockbuster, a showcase for human drama and innovative craft, and we are excited to have its world premiere as this year’s NYFF Spotlight Gala.”
The film is slated to stomp into US theaters on November 6th. Stay tuned to Horror News Network for more on Godzilla Minus Zero.
