Blockbuster Monster Movie (超大作怪獣映画,   Chōtaisaku Kaijū Eiga)[4][5] is the working title of an upcoming Japanese kaiju film written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki.[1] Presented by Toho[4] and produced by TOHO Studios and ROBOT,[2] it will be the 30th mainline installment in the Godzilla series and 37th Godzilla film overall, as well as the fifth in the franchise's Reiwa era. Toho is set to release the film to Japanese theaters on November 3, 2023, the same day that the original Godzilla premiered in 1954.[3][6]

Development

A new Toho kaiju film to be directed by Takashi Yamazaki was announced on February 18, 2022 (JST) through a casting call posted on production company ROBOT's website,[5] as well as on the Godzilla+ application.[7] Few details were given of the film's premise beyond that it would involve kaiju and be set in post-war Japan between 1945 and 1947.[4][5] On November 3 (JST), during the opening remarks of Godzilla Fest 2022, the project was revealed to be the next entry in the Godzilla franchise.[8] Subsequent reports confirmed that Yamazaki will also write the film's script and supervise its VFX,[1][9] and that Toho's subsidiary TOHO Studios will carry out production alongside ROBOT.[2]

Toho held a press conference on December 13 to announce its distribution lineup for 2023, Yamazaki's Godzilla movie included.[3] During the event, Toho Film Planning Department head Hisashi Usui hinted at a possible relation to the 1954 Godzilla.[6]
