Hear me out Shout Factory is tagged Shout Factory streams the Criterion owned Godzilla films. Janus Films recently got the rights to Return of Godzilla and Biollante. Probably more. Heisei Godzilla is used on the Instagram post. Why this specific Godzilla? I think this might be an announcement that all Heisei films are coming to Shout Factory for streaming and that John Carpenter is doing a presentation for them.
‘Godzilla and Kong’ is the title of the new film. https://www.godzilla-movies.com/new...xginJqjzhuHy3JeJ29pfiUcCYCxJvb1zxCPYIytKdtzl0
Based on casting calls the new Japanese Godzilla film will take place “in Post-War Japan between 1945 and 1947” Very weird that it is earlier than 1954.
More info on the new film: it appears that the leaks were correct. It’s been revealed that a lot of American actors will be in the new Japanese Godzilla film and that it will have a lot of English in it. The American military will be fighting Godzilla in Japan due to Japan not having an army between 1945 - 1947. Scenes will take place in the Kanto area of Japan and sets were made to resemble Guam. Being that Toho filmed this in the spring to allow a lot of post-production, is using western actors, and used some of the Hollywood studio space to film scenes, it seems like Toho is aiming for this to appeal to a global audience instead of just a Japanese audience.
