Godzilla is coming back real soon to its country, Japan, as a Godzilla movie is soon to be created. The movie is hoped to acquire lots of support from fans, and become a hit even in Hollywood despite budget.
After the huge success of the Godzilla film released last year, which had a gross of $524 million dollars, the movie's creator, Toho Studios decided that it's appropriate to continue on making Godzilla fans happy by releasing another Godzilla movie. "Ever since Hollywood announced that 'Godzilla' was to be resurrected, the expectation for another Japanese Godzilla grew. And if we were to newly produce, we looked into Japanese creators who were the most knowledgeable and who had the most passion for Godzilla" Toho reportedly said.
Although the creators of the movie admitted that they don't have as big amount of budget for the movie, as the $200 million dollar budget for the 2014 Godzilla production, they are optimistic that they can make it a good one. The project head of the movie, Taichi Ueda is reportedly optimistic that the fans will support the movie and that it will "steal Hollywood's thunder."
Plans about the film, if there are already concrete ones, are probably still being kept a secret as there are still no specific plot or list of casts yet. It hasn't also been confirmed yet whether the monster will be a CGI, or the traditional man-in-a-rubber-suit. Although it is affirmative that top Japanese directors, Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi will co-direct the upcoming movie. Anno will reportedly focus on the screenplay, while Higuchi will read the special effects.
Anno and Higuchi both have strong and good background when it comes to their work as both of them have already had a fair share of projects that became a huge hit. Anno previously directed anime series "Gunbuster", and "Neon Genesis Evangelion". Higuchi also has done his part in directing films that fans love as he worked in "The Sinking of Japan".
The Japanese version of Godzilla is slated for release next year.
