Godzilla: Minus One

Yes that’s the actual movie title. First Japanese-made godzilla movie in 7 years. Not related at all to the American Godzilla/Kong movies that have come out recently. Also will be the first Godzilla movie to disregard his 1954 birth date as this is set in post WW2 Japan. Releases Dec 1 in the US

Sidenote: I believe Godzilla may be the most perfect film franchise idea in history. There is no deep intrinsic world or folkloric knowledge needed to watch it (unlike Star Wars, LOTR, Harry Potter, etc). Big monster shoes up, smashes stuff, and fights other monsters sometimes. That’s it. The movies are at best loosely tied to prior ones and even that’s rare. It’s so easily adaptable. Hence why there’s been almost 40 movies in 70 years.

Very smart to set it in the 40s. It would be harder to kill that big bastard than it is with today's weapons.

I'd love to see what the Koreans would do with this story. They made zombies interesting again. 

I don't know.  I saw the recent G movies set in current times, and he took a lot of licking and kept on ticking.
