Takashi Yamazaki’s sequel to the Academy Award winning movie, Godzilla Minus One, will be shown at the New York Film Festival September 26th. Godzilla Minus Zero follows two years after the events of the previous entry in the reboot of the Godzilla franchise. In statement on the Film at Lincoln Center website, Yamazaki had to share,
It is truly an honor to introduce our film to a global audience for the first time in a place of such history and prestige. I am filled with both awe and excitement to see how far the power of Japan’s Godzilla can terrify audiences around the world, and whether they will resonate with what lies beyond that fear.
Artistic Director of the New York Film Festival, Dennis Lim, also had to share,
More than 70 years after the first Godzilla movie, Takashi Yamazaki continues to prove that there’s life in the old franchise yet, returning to its postwar roots to locate a haunting, primal terror. Like its predecessor, Godzilla Minus Zero is a throwback blockbuster, a showcase for human drama and innovative craft, and we are excited to have its world premiere as this year’s NYFF Spotlight Gala.
The movie is set to have a theatrical release in North America September 6th by GKIDS, a company that distributes international films to American audiences.
