I love Stand By Me Doraemon by this guy & also like Parasyte live-action enough, so this is an inspired choice director at least.

Also, happy Godzilla Day!

Here's a little something from the franchise:

Your reaction is opposite to Japanese audience, AFAIK.

Godzilla fans are anxious by this choice of director because of Dragon Quest: Your Story, specifically the ending; Doraemon and Parasyte were "safe" because he can't stray from source material. Some who attend Godzilla Festival mentioned the enthusiasm from "new Godzilla movie" went downhill when the director announced, simply hope he learned something after general reception of Dragon Quest: Your Story.

Yeah, I don't follow Dragon Quest so I wouldn't know.

As usual, hoping for the best here. Last time we had a Doraemon director making Godzilla, we got Singular Point, which is pretty good.

Speaking of which, pretty cruel to tease that Mechagodzilla sequel in the postscript if they don’t deliver.

Matt Shakman Talks ‘Godzilla’ Series Timeline and How It’ll Fit
Into the Movie Monster Franchise

"we could see the release of Apple TV+'s untitled Godzilla and the Titans series.
Announced in early 2022 from creators Matt Fraction and Chris Black, the
ambitious show will follow a family's quest to unveil the secrets of the monsters
and explore their connection to the secret organization Monarch. Bringing it all
together is a talented TV creative in WandaVision's Matt Shakman who has big
plans for the 10-episode series."

Looks like my excitement for Goji -1 is vindicated.

It has 97-98% RT score, "A" Cinemascore and hold #3 at the US Box Office for two weeks with only 27% drop, making it the most successful live-action foreign movie ever in Hollywood so far. And it was largely based on word-of-mouth alone & no big marketing.

It’s doing very well, but “most successful live-action foreign movie” is kind of a deceptive term. Crouching Tiger slow-rolled its opening because the distributor didn’t realize what they had, but it would up doing $163 million in the U.S., in 2000 dollars. Even not factoring for inflation I don’t think there’s any way G-1 approaches that.

As you can see from my comment, I was talking more about the box office ranking than anything. And yes, I doubt Goji -1 will make more than 100 Mill in USA especially post pandemic where more people are conditioned to wait until movies hit streaming unless they became major social events like Barbenheimer & Taylor Swift concert movie.

Godzilla Minus One got re-released in black & white, amassing more than 100 Million Dollars worldwide & receiving an Oscar nomination for the first time in the franchise history.

It's truly an achievement by Takashi Yamazaki even after many people doubted him but I already said that he is an inspired choice for this movie since the first announcement

Big win for the Tokusatsu industry, thanks to Godzilla Minus One. They got the Oscar!!
