Godzilla Minus Zero is one of the most highly anticipated films of the year. Due to the overwhelming success of its predecessor, the critically and commercially acclaimed Godzilla Minus One, there was never any question that a sequel would be on the horizon. And now, we’ve got a new trailer.
Now, three years since the first film, Godzilla Minus Zero gets its first official trailer as we gear up for another explosive take on the King of the Monsters from writer and director Takashi Yamazaki. Godzilla Minus One went on to achieve the historic milestone of becoming the first Asian film to win an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects at the 96th Academy Awards. Now, the anticipation is high as we wait to see how Yamazaki and co., will continue to push the envelope by blending classical structure with modern VFX.

One of the best elements of Minus One was the old school style, from acting choices to musical compositions that punctuated the effects with influences from the work of composer Akira Ifukube, who both composed some of the earlier films in the franchise and also designed the monster’s roar. The film became an event-style piece of pop culture, from the buzz of the official release to the eventual black-and-white showings. Now, Godzilla Minus Zero, with its first trailer, looks to capture that same magic.
