“Godzilla Minus Zero” is a Japanese epic monster film written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki, who also directed visual effects. This film, a sequel to ‘Godzilla Minus One’ (2023), is set in 1949, as post-war Japan is struggling to rebuild and faces the new threat of King Ghidorah, and a regenerated Godzilla reappears to face the monster. Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, Hidetaka Yoshioka, Yuki Yamada, Kuranosuke Sasaki, Sakura Ando, and Mio Tanaka appear, with newcomers Min Tanaka, Masami Nagasawa, and Jun Kunimura joining. The film, the first Japanese production shot for IMAX, had its world premiere at the 2026 New York Film Festival. There, critics praised its visual effects and debated whether it surpassed its acclaimed predecessor. Writer and director Takashi Yamazaki and stars Ryunosuke Kamiki and Minami Hamabe were kind enough to chat with Giovanni Lago, while the sound team’s Hisafumi Takeuchi and Natsuko Inoue, visual effects artists Tatsuji Nojima and Takayuki Ueki, and producer Kazuaki Kishida discussed their work and experience making the film.
