Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi's iconic take on the King of the Monsters is poised to evolve into yet another filmic form: 4K. On August 14 GKIDS will release Shin Godzilla in North American cinemas, with a home entertainment release to follow. Shin Godzilla will be released in its original Japanese language with English subtitles, including restored text cards. This is the first time the Shin Godzilla 4K remaster has been released in North America, and the first time GKIDS has released a Godzilla film since it was acquired by Toho in 2024. Originally opening in Japan in 2016, Shin Godzilla is directed by Anno (Neon Genesis Evangelion) and Higuchi (Shin Ultraman) with screenplay by Anno and visual effects by Higuchi. Shin Godzilla won seven Japan Academy Prize awards and was the highest-grossing Japanese-produced Godzilla film prior to 2023's Godzilla Minus One, grossing $79 million worldwide.

Definitely going if it's playing near me. Is this a limited release or are we expecting most major chains to have it?

kind of interested, never saw it. Be interesting to see the different take compared to Godzilla Zero

It's a very unique Godzilla film. Divisive, but sentiment seems to be more on the positive side. I personally loved it, and it's my 2nd favorite Godzilla film to minus one.

 

[RavenSan]

helllllll yes. This is a terrific Godzilla film. I'm going back stateside in September so I hope it's got a long engagement and I can still catch it then.

 

[Connificent]

Still need to see this

Shin Godzilla, I feel like I missed Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes Godzilla.

 

[Revolutionary]

Hell yeah, I'm there. Minus Zero isn't a bad movie by any means but I wasn't blown away like Shin Godzilla. Looking forward to seeing it in theaters again.

I love this movie and I loved Minus One. I'll go see it and I never go to the theater anymore.

Dammit, I just bought a somewhat expensive import blu-ray since my kid loves Shin Godzilla. Might have to take him to this if it is playing near me.

Yes! Yes! Yes!
