If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll at least have an inkling of how well Godzilla Minus One is doing at the box office – to the extent screenings have even been extended – however, what’s coming next looks even more phenomenal; Godzilla Minus One – Minus Colour.
That’s right, they’re releasing a black and white version of Godzilla Minus One – for now just for Japanese audiences, but there are hopes that it’ll become an international release because HOLY SHIT does it look absolutely stunning in black and white. We’ve got the trailer below!
However, it’s not just like Yamazaki has added a black and white filter to the existing movie – it actually took a lot of work to make it this stunning.
The director recently told Bloody Disgusting:
We are now able to announce Godzilla-1.0/C, which we have been working on for a long time. Rather than just making it monochrome, it is a cut-by-cut. I had them make adjustments while making full use of various mattes as if they were creating a new movie.
What I was aiming for was a style that looked like it was taken by masters of monochrome photography,” he continued. “We were able to unearth the texture of the skin and the details of the scenery that were hidden in the photographed data. Then, a frightening Godzilla, just like the one in the documentary, appeared. By eliminating colour, a new sense of reality emerges. Please live and resist further fear at the theater.
Check it out below, and I swear you won’t be disappointed:
Okay, so after all the attention this is going to get, I’m fairly sure there will be complete outrage if this isn’t released to wider audiences across the globe.
You know what else looks absolutely freakin’ sick? The full poster:
Godzilla Minus One: Minus Color will be released in Japan on January 12th, 2024. As for the rest of us… we’ll just have to wait and see.
What do you think – would you go and see Godzilla Minus One: Minus Colour at the cinema? As if we’d need an excuse to go and see it again, but it does look like an exceptional experience!
