There you go, there's your spin-off. Ok, it has nothing to do with Edward's Godzilla, but I don't know how I feel about this news. I'm way more excited by Hollywood Godzilla.

QuoteTOHO 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.

Quote...this incredible news broke just two hours ago in Japan and is spreading like wildfire in Japan. And while I didn't see this one coming, and some may think it could be a hoax, the announcement was published in the Japanese equivalent of the Wall Street Journal, Nikkei, and the respected movie website, Eiga.com — I've combined elements from several stories and the translations are my own...

Hell yeah. I've been waiting for this news since Final Wars. Bring back Don Frye!

There is no way they can top Final Wars.

This sounds cool. And I'm actally surprised it took them this long. When the 2014 movie came out and was successful, and people's only real complaint was that it didn't have enough Godzilla in it, that's a pretty good indicator of the general public's interest in the character.
I would like to see them do man in suit, but I doubt they will.

What are the Parasyte movies the first article metions?

Great, now his atomic breath will slice things cleanly, with a pause before they slide in half.

i would not worry about it, besides the giant monster madness is well under way

Attack on Titan (Shinji Higuchi; August & September 2015)
Toho's New Godzilla (Hideaki Anno & Shinji Higuchi; 2016)
Pacific Rim 2 (Guillermo Del Toro; 2017)
Kong: Skull Island (Jordan Vogt-Roberts; 2017)
Godzilla 2 (Gareth Edwards; 2018)
Leviathan (Ruairi Robinson; ???)
Perhaps the potential to see a new Gamera maybe (though nothing seems like it's actively moving forward at the moment), plus Jurassic World, plus crappy Asylum ripoffs

I think this new Godzilla/Gojira movie is in good hands with Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi, Higuchi was the special effects director on the 90s Gamera trilogy and has worked on other kaiju-ish things, like the forthcoming live-action Attack on Titan movie and this short film written by Anno (a prequel to Hayao Miyazaki's Nausicaa, which Anno worked on as an animator):

Hideaki Anno...

So Godzilla is going to have complicated father issues?

QuoteToho's AFM program booklet ad for the promo reel screening!

With no prior announcement, Toho revealed that they were screening a promo reel for their latest Big G production, SHIN GODZILLA — now formally announced as GODZILLA RESURGENCE for overseas markets — at this year's annual American Film Market, which just took place in Santa Monica, California on November 4th-11th. Over the years, Toho has presented a number of their Godzilla films during the event, but this is the first time they are previewing a film — for potential sales — a half year before completion.

The American Film Market, also known as AFM, is an 8-day industry event, founded in 1981, attracting over 8,000 filmmakers, studios, producers, writers, distributors, etc. from more than 70 countries, and has become one of the international marketplaces for the film industry — utilizing every theater in Santa Monica — is more than a film festival, with the impetus on production and distribution deals. AFM is not open to the public.

While I've managed to network to get into some of Toho's screenings AFM in the past — this one came right out of nowhere and without warning — with that being said, I do have friends attending, and at least one of them is attending the screening, so please stay tuned for details...

Yay! No offense to the American one, but there's just nothing like the Japanese Godzilla.

So, Godzilla 3, American Godzilla vs Shin Godzilla?
