One of last year’s most celebrated movies is finally making its hotly anticipated debut on home video! Anime Limited and Toho Co. Ltd. are excited to announce that the kaiju-sized global phenomenon Godzilla Minus One will be released in the United Kingdom, Ireland and France as a 4K Collector’s Edition, 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD in time for the holiday season, with Plaion Pictures releasing the film in Italy.
Following unprecedented demand from audiences and cinemas alike, the studio is also bringing the film back to cinemas later this year alongside the Godzilla Minus One/Minus Colour, allowing fans to experience this black-and-white alternate version of the film in cinemas for the very first time. Details about both the home video and theatrical releases will be announced at a later date.
In case you missed the film the first time around here’s a look at the trailer:
In our five-star review of the film James says “Godzilla Minus One is a gigantic triumph that encapsulates Godzilla’s legacy beautifully, while also offering a very human & sincere story. With gobsmacking visuals that exceed some of the effects we’ve seen this year, Godzilla makes his return in the biggest and best way possible. This film is the true epitome of a blockbuster. Not only is Minus One a perfect monster movie, it’s also a fantastic film that has plenty to offer besides destruction.”
In postwar Japan, Godzilla brings new devastation to an already scorched landscape. With no military intervention or government help in sight, the survivors must join together in the face of despair and fight back against an unrelenting horror. From renowned director, screenwriter & VFX visionary Takashi Yamazaki (The Eternal Zero, Stand By Me Doraemon) comes Godzilla Minus One, a film about the power of home in the face of despair. The film stars Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, Yuki Yamada, Munetaka Aoki, Hidetaka Yoshioka, Sakura Ando, and Kuranosuke Sasaki, with music by Naoki Sato.
The latest film in Toho’s classic series, Godzilla Minus One was crafted to be the most terrifying incarnation of the character yet, returning the franchise to its post-war roots with a powerful and poignant story about a Japan gripped by the helplessness of having already lost everything before this new, monstrous threat emerges. The film earned critical acclaim and broke multiple UK & Irish box office records on release, including the largest opening day for a Japanese film (live-action and animated) in over 23 years. The film became a sensation across the world, culminating in the film winning Best Visual Effects at the 96th Academy Awards, becoming the first non-English language film to win the award.
