    Toho will start making Godzilla films again starting 2016

    TOHO is producing a new work of its iconic film monster Godzilla for release throughout Japan in 2016. It will be the first Godzilla film by TOHO since 2004's Godzilla Final Wars (pictured right). According to the Cinema Today website, the "legendary" Japanese franchise is undergoing a revival, in response to the heightened fan support after Gareth Edwards and Legendary Pictures' Hollywood Godzilla film became a worldwide hit.

    Edwards' film has opened in 63 countries and territories, and has earned over 57 billion yen (about US$470 million) worldwide, including 3.2 billion yen (US$26 million) in Japan alone.

    Production of the new film will run from summer to fall of next year, and TOHO is assembling the staff. It will have no direct ties with Edwards' film, but will instead be an entirely new Godzilla film. Edwards and Legendary Pictures are separately planning a sequel to their own film.

    TOHO proclaimed, "The time has come to make a film that will not bow down to the Hollywood film," thanks to a combination of rapidly improving filmmaking techniques (as exemplified by the ongoing Parasyte films) and know-how developed over the years in Japan.

    TOHO is also inaugurating the Godzilla Conference or "Godzi-con," a organization to discuss and determine the strategy of Godzilla projects — including but not limited to the new film — in response to the growing Godzilla fandom bolstered by Edwards' film. It is now mainly composed of TOHO staff members, but TOHO is considering adding other creators and businesses to explore new project possibilities.

    While I liked the American film this year, I have no problem with more Godzillas so this is good news

    I was just going to post about this, you beat me to it. LOL .. I am ecstatic about this. I had a feeling the American Godzilla movie would spur Toho into making a new G-Flick, either to cash in on its success or to show the Americans how it's done.. or both.. whatever Toho's reason, I'm tickled shitless. Can't wait for it be released, and I hope it gets a wide theatrical release here, like Godzilla 2000 did.

    That is pretty cool! Not giving away anything, yet instilling fear. Looking forward to this.

    I dig the quality of the trailer, but it's just random people looking angry and worried.

    Godzilla looks like a beast. No T-Rex/Raptor or fat godzilla wannabes.

    I took my spawn to see this in October during its limited theatrical release. I am a Gojira super-nerd and I was really wanting to love this movie.. unfortunately I had some severe problems with it. There was some good stuff to be found in the movie, for example, his power is off the charts.. I mean even Meltdown Godzilla from Godzilla vs Destroyah has nothing on Shin Godzilla.




    (SPOILERS)
    However, I just didn't like how godzilla behaved.. he was just a blank slat, none of the rage and intelligence and cunning that makes Godzilla what he is.. This thing just seemed to want to walk in a straight line for no apparent reason, only unleashing his wrath as an automatic response to being attacked..

    Also I wasn't a fan of his origin in this movie, basically tossing out 60+ years of a common staple origin (he was a dinosaur mutated by a nuclear bomb) for an origin story that has more in common with Hedorah (the Smog Monster) than anything else.

    I've only watched the movie once and there some good things about it, and I plan to watch it again for a better perspective on it, bu at this time, I can honestly say I was rather disappointed and I HOPE Toho makes like the Millennium Era, by scrapping this Godzilla and doing something different and more Godzilla-like in their next movie.
