Godzilla Minus Zero is ready to dominate the box office. Director Takashi Yamazaki is bringing the terrifying Godzilla to life once again, and now fans can see it even earlier. In a historic first, the Japanese production of the upcoming sequel, Godzilla Minus Zero, has been filmed in IMAX and has set an early release to celebrate Godzilla Day on November 3. This is the first Japanese production natively filmed and shot for IMAX after an already record-breaking Rotten Tomatoes rating of 97% from critics lucky enough to watch the movie before its theatrical run.
