Toho’s 2016 GODZILLA Reboot Gets A Working Title
With Toho’s Godzilla 2016 just starting up its first week of filming, a flyer was found in Tokyo that seemingly revealed the film’s working title! After reading it, you’ll definitely see that Toho is trying to outdo/compete with Legendary’s Godzilla franchise. Hit the jump to check it out!
Toho hasn’t produced a Godzilla film since back in 2004, when Godzilla: Final Wars was released in theaters. On top of that America hasn’t created a good Godzilla film until the release of Gareth Edwards’ epic 2014 Godzilla film. However, as you should know, it was previously announced that Toho will produce its first Godzilla film in 12 years, and it will hit theaters in 2016.
Now, if you look at it, you’d think that Toho is making this Godzilla film to get some cash, but according TOHO themselves, the competition is on! "The time has come to make a film that will not bow down to the Hollywood film.” Clearly, after watching Edwards’ version of Godzilla, TOHO felt as though they had something to prove.
With Toho’s Godzilla reboot just beginning to film now in Tokyo, Gormaru Island reports that a flyer was found that reveals the film will be shooting at Kamata Railway Station in Tokyo. Without further ado, the flyer also seemingly revealed the film’s working titled which is Shin Gojira! What does that mean? According to translations, it says New Godzilla or True Godzilla (indicating that Toho’s Godzilla is the one and only king of monsters).
