Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi’s iconic take on the King of the Monsters is poised to evolve into yet another filmic form: 4K. On August 14 GKIDS will release Shin Godzilla in North American cinemas, with a home entertainment release to follow.
Shin Godzilla will be released in its original Japanese language with English subtitles, including restored text cards. This is the first time the Shin Godzilla 4K remaster has been released in North America, and the first time GKIDS has released a Godzilla film since it was acquired by Toho in 2024.
Originally opening in Japan in 2016, Shin Godzilla is directed by Anno (Neon Genesis Evangelion) and Higuchi (Shin Ultraman) with screenplay by Anno and visual effects by Higuchi.
Shin Godzilla won seven Japan Academy Prize awards and was the highest-grossing Japanese-produced Godzilla film prior to 2023’s Godzilla Minus One, grossing $79 million worldwide.
