Last year, the Academy Award-winning Godzilla Minus One stomped across the world to become a global sensation, and now cinema's most famous lizard has its eyes set on your home. Anime Limited and Toho Co. Ltd. have revealed that the highly anticipated home video release of Godzilla Minus One will be released as a 4K UHD+Blu-ray Deluxe Edition, a 4K UHD+Blu-ray Steelbook, and also on Blu-ray and DVD in December.
In postwar Japan, Godzilla brings new devastation to an already scorched landscape. With no military intervention or government help in sight, the survivors must join together in the face of despair and fight back against an unrelenting horror. From renowned director, screenwriter & VFX visionary Takashi Yamazaki (The Eternal Zero, Stand By Me Doraemon) comes Godzilla Minus One, a film about the power of home in the face of despair. The film stars Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, Yuki Yamada, Munetaka Aoki, Hidetaka Yoshioka, Sakura Ando, and Kuranosuke Sasaki, with music by Naoki Sato.
The latest film in Toho's classic series, Godzilla Minus One was crafted to be the most terrifying incarnation of the character yet, returning the franchise to its post-war roots with a powerful and poignant story about a Japan gripped by the helplessness of having already lost everything before this new, monstrous threat emerges. The film earned critical acclaim and broke multiple UK & Irish box office records on release, including the largest opening day for a Japanese film (live-action and animated) in over 23 years. The film became a sensation across the world, culminating in the film winning Best Visual Effects at the 96th Academy Awards, becoming the first non-English language film to win the award.
