Template:Infopelicula Upcoming GODZILLA (GODZILLA,   Gojira) is an upcoming anime science fiction monster film produced by Toho Animation and animated by Polygon Pictures. It will be tentatively released to Japanese theaters in July 2017, and worldwide by Netflix later in the year.[1]

Development

On August 18, 2016, less than a month after the release of the film Godzilla Resurgence, it was announced that an anime Godzilla film is currently in the works for a 2017 theatrical premiere.[2] On October 30, 2016, the film's co-director Hiroyuki Seshita posted on Twitter that the voice recording sessions for the film had been completed, and now it was entirely in the hands of the animators.[3]

Concept art showing machines and armored humanoids moving through a forest, as well as the interior of a spaceship, appeared on the film's official Twitter account on January 19, February 24, and March 5. January 19 also saw the reveal of the film's lead voice actors: Yuki Kaji, Takahiro Sakurai, Tomokazu Sugita, Junichi Suwabe, Kana Hanazawa, and Mamoru Miyano.[4] An event for the film will take place on March 26 at the AnimeJapan 2017 convention, with all six actors in attendance.[5]

On March 13, 2017, Netflix announced through its @NetflixJP Twitter account that it had secured the worldwide distribution rights to the film.[6]

Trivia

  • This film will be the fifth official appearance of Godzilla in an anime, after the animated segments in Adventure! Godzilland, the Get Going! Godzilland OVAs, Godzilla Kingdom, and the Crayon Shin-Chan episode It's Crayon Shin-Chan vs. Shin Godzilla!
