GODZILLA: RESURGENCE Will Get Released in the U.S. Thanks to Funimation
A couple of days ago an awesome new trailer was released for Toho's Godzilla: Resurgence that got fans insanely excited to see the film. At the time, I wasn't sure when or if the film would get released in the U.S., but thanks to Funimation that will happen! It was announced during the Funimation panel at Comic-Con yesterday. Gen Fukunaga, CEO and President of Funimation had this to say in a statement:
“Funimation is extremely pleased to be working with Toho to bring Shin Godzilla to audiences across the Americas. Godzilla became a science fiction icon from the moment Toho brought it to the big screen in 1954. We’re honored to be a part of its rich history."
Mike DuBoise, EVP and COO of Funimation added:
“Shin Godzilla represents a brand new chapter in the 62-year history of this iconic science fiction monster. We’re excited to bring audiences this new vision of Godzilla from Toho as reimagined by directors Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi.”
Godzilla: Resurgence will be the 29th Godzilla film from Toho, and it looks like it could be one of the best. I also absolutely love the insane new design for the creature.
Godzilla: Resurgence was directed by Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi, who directed the live-action Attack on Titan movies. The movie is set to be released in Japan on July 29th, 2016. There's no specific U.S. release date yet, but it will happen later this year and I can't wait to see it!
