Toho has announced that they are releasing a special black-and-white version of Godzilla MInus One in theaters in 2024! I’ve seen this movie twice already, and it looks like I’m going to be watching it again! Hopefully, they release this version of the film in the United States! There’s even a new trailer showing off the black-and-white version of the film that is sure to get fans excited about the release.
This version of the film has been retitled Godzilla-1.0/C (Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color), and it’s said to be a version of the movie that director Takashi Yamazaki has been working on for a long time with care as a cut-by-cut production instead of just making it monochrome for the sake of it. The filmmaker said:
“We are now able to announce Godzilla-1.0/C, which we have been working on for a long time. Rather than just making it monochrome, it is a cut by cut, I had them make adjustments while making full use of various mattes, as if they were creating a new movie. What I was aiming for was a style that looked like it was taken by masters of monochrome photography. We were able to unearth the texture of the skin and the details of the scenery that were hidden in the photographed data. Then, a frightening Godzilla, just like the one in the documentary, appeared. By eliminating color, a new sense of reality emerges. Please live and resist further fear at the theater.”
So, this is a version of the film that fans have got to experience! Godzilla Minus One has been a huge success for Toho, and the movie has continued to extend its theatrical release in the United States because audiences are freakin’ loving it. Watching it in black and white is going to be a whole new experience!
