First released domestically in Japan in 2016, SHIN GODZILLA is the 29th film in Toho’s storied Godzilla franchise, and the first Godzilla film to be released from Toho since 2004’s Godzilla Final Wars, taking a fresh design approach with the iconic monster. The film held a highly successful original box office run, grossing $79 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing Japanese-produced Godzilla film in the franchise’ history, until it was recently surpassed by 2023’s Oscar®-winning Godzilla Minus One. SHIN GODZILLA went on to receive eleven Japan Academy Prize nominations, and take home seven wins, including Picture and Director of the year. The upcoming home entertainment release comes on the heels of GKIDS’ nationwide release of SHIN GODZILLA this August.
Synopsis
Something has surfaced in Tokyo Bay. As the Prime Minister of Japan pleads with the public to remain calm, a horrific creature of tremendous size makes landfall in the city, leaving death and destruction in its wake. Then it evolves. The government assembles a motley task force to combat the monster when an envoy from the US Department of State delivers a folder of classified documents. On its cover is written “GODZILLA.”
From Director Hideaki Anno and Co-Director Shinji Higuchi, SHIN GODZILLLA offers a thrilling origin story to one of cinema’s greatest creations. Propelled by astounding visual effects and rapid fire dialogue, SHIN GODZILLA is equal parts pulse-pounding action film and venomous political satire, worthy of the franchise’s towering history.
