1st Japanese Godzilla film in 12 years debuts on July 29

The official film in 12 years, on Thursday.

The film will open in Japan on July 29, and will have IMAX, MX4D, and 4DX screenings.

The tagline on the visual above reads, "Japan vs. Godzilla." franchise's reality-grounded roots, embodying the Japanese experience of the March 11 disaster (compared to the reality of the first Godzilla films made in post-war Japan).

The film's main cast includes:

Pokémon the Movie: Black - Victini and Reshiram's Karita, right) plays an American agent.

Executive producer Hideaki Anno coined the title to incorporate various possible meanings.

Filming film.

Anime director Hideaki Anno and live-action Attack on Titan film director collaborating on the film. Anno is serving as chief director and writer, while Higuchi is directing the new film and is also serving as the special effects director.

Higuchi promised that this will be the scariest Godzilla yet, quoting the horrors of the real world, like 9/11, the March 11 tsunami, and subsequent Fukushima nuclear crisis having stripped the the world of its innocence. The film will use a hybrid of actors moving through miniatures (a staple of the early Godzilla films), computer graphics, and special effects.

Higuchi and Anno Japan Sinks, the Gamera films, and the 1984 Godzilla film.
