GODZILLA: MONSTER PLANET Movie Trilogy

GODZILLA Anime Movie Announced for 2017; First Concept Art Released

Godzilla has made a worldwide cultural resurgence, thanks to a rebooted Hollywood movie franchise, an upcoming crossover film with King Kong, and even a new film from the original Godzilla movie studio, Toho, that's actually titled Godzilla: Resurgence. We can add animation to the new wave of properties, as a Godzilla anime has been announced for 2017 release.

The film will be written by Gen Urobuchi and directed by Kobun Shizuno, and will be animated by Polygon Studios, the company behind the Transformers Prime series. An official title for the film has not been released yet, but an official website is now live.

From the concept art included below, it looks as though the premise for the film will be some kind of explorer team reaching some unknown pocket of the planet (Monster Island?) and having to encounter the beast(s) that live there. Pretty much the standard Kaiju flick formula (If it ain't broke...)

Thanks for posting me in these. Excited to see what they come up with:

Also, I should note, Shin Gojira was good. It was a bit too much of a political drama, but it was fun. I found the character driven plot of the US version more compelling, though. But both needed more Godzilla tearing shit up.

First Poster, Plot Synopsis and Concept Art for GODZILLA: MONSTER PLANET

The full title of the first film is Godzilla: Kaijū Wakusei (Godzilla: Monster Planet). The official website describes the story:

The last summer of the 20th Century. That day, the human beings learn that they are not the only ruler of the planet Earth.

The appearance of the giant living creatures “Kaiju's” and the ultimate existence that destroys all monsters: Godzilla. Through the battle against kaiju's that lasted for half a century, human beings has experienced continuous defeat, and finally plans to escape from the Earth. And in 2048, only those who were selected by the A.I. managed under the central government boarded the inter-sidereal emigrant spaceship “Aratrum” to head for “Tau Cetus e”, the planet beyond the distance of 11.9 light-year. However, the environmental condition differences between that of the Earth and Tau e, which they finally arrived after 20 years were far beyond the predicted numbers, and was not an environment considered to be habitable by human beings.

The young man on the emigrant ship: Haruo, who saw his parents killed by Godzilla in front of his eyes when he was 4 years old, had only one thing in his mind for 20 years: to return to the Earth and defeat Godzilla. Shut out from the possibility of emigration, as the living environment in the ship deteriorates, the group of “Earth Returnists” led by Haruo became the majority, and determines to head back to Earth through a dangerous long-distance hyperspace navigation. However, the Earth they have returned has already passed the time of 20,000 years, and has become an unknown world with the ecosystem reigned by Godzilla.

At the end, will human beings win back the Earth? And what will Haruo see beyond his fate?

First Teaser Trailer for GODZILLA: MONSTER PLANET Anime Movie

[Anung Un Rama]

looks amazeballs

 

[DIABOLUS]

Interesting that they're going with the 2014 Godzilla design and not Shin Gojira.

Very excited to see Polygon Pictures is involved. They did the BLAME! movie that premiered on Netflix not too long ago and that film is beautiful.

Dragon, this looks baller. A fresh approach to the Godzilla mythology is good, and I find this one particularly compelling. I'm super pumped to see how it turns out.
News on whether its going to be with subtitles or if anyone picked it up?
