“Godzilla Minus Zero,” the kaiju sequel directed by Takashi Yamazaki, is scheduled for its world premiere at the 64th New York Film Festival. Multiple outlets report that the film will screen at Alice Tully Hall as the festival’s Spotlight Gala selection. The announcement is tied to Film at Lincoln Center’s programming for the 64th edition of the festival. The Hindu specifies the premiere date as September 26, while other reports confirm the timing “next month” without stating an exact day.
The new installment is presented as a follow-up to Yamazaki’s 2023 film “Godzilla Minus One,” which earned an Oscar for Best Visual Effects and grossed $116 million worldwide, according to Deadline. The outlets also describe the sequel as part of the same franchise lineage, with Times of India adding that it continues the Shikishima family story two years after the previous movie.
Across sources, festivalgoers are expected to get one of the first public looks at the film through its premiere engagement at the New York Film Festival, ahead of its broader theatrical release.
