ALL SCI-FI

It looks like Toho is doing a period-set reboot of Godzilla, and this time it looks like it might actually be good (aside from the weird title). I think this is the first film I might actually be excited to see since Sky Captain.

Does anyone know what the title is supposed to mean? Godzilla minus one what?

Via Forbes:
"Set in a post-war Japan, Godzilla Minus One will once again show us a Godzilla that is a terrifying and overwhelming force, which you already get a sense of from the teaser trailer and poster," said Koji Ueda, President of Toho International.

"The concept is that Japan, which had already been devastated by the war, faces a new threat with Godzilla, bringing the country into the minus."

I honestly thought it was just one of those weird Japanese titles, like Bubblegum Crisis.

Sounds great, hope it's not a flop!

I hope it is good and, if it does well, that Toho STICKS WITH THIS CONTINUITY for a change!

The Godzilla films are all over the place with ignoring all of the original sequels, only certain sequels, rebooting it; it's very confusing to follow.

Shin Godzilla was supposed to reboot the franchise but then Toho announced they would not do a Shin Godzilla II (thankfully).

I would also prefer that they leave Godzilla as a "villain". That superhero 'friend to children' stuff in the 70s was terrible, even to me as a kid in the 70s. Godzilla, for me, works best as a force of nature that isn't really good or evil, just as any animal in unfamiliar surroundings and circumstances would just try to 'do its thing' as best it can.
