Toho Co. , Ltd. surprised fans with the long - awaited release of Godzilla Minus One on home entertainment in a four - disc 4 K UHD Blu - ray box set . The exclusive release includes behind - the - scenes features and making - of footage , providing a goldmine for fans of the film and filmmaking . The release is part of a larger 70th - anniversary celebration of Godzilla in 2024.
The film , directed by Takashi Yamazaki , earned an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects and features mind - blowing examples of ingenuity to achieve effects and shots within a limited budget . The black - and - white version of the film enhances hyper - realism and creates a tighter bond between the modern masterpiece and the original 1954 masterpiece that launched the Godzilla franchise.
Comparing the color and monochrome versions of the film , there is a noticeable difference in tone and impact . The monochrome version reflects the origins of the story and series , creating a more documentary - like feel . On the other hand , the color version carries a sense of timelessness and modernity , reminiscent of Steven Spielberg 's films.
With record - setting box office success , fans may wonder if a sequel is in the works . Yamazaki - San indicated that his next film is already in development , although not a sequel to Godzilla Minus One . However , discussions with Toho about a potential sequel are likely underway , suggesting that fans may have to wait a few years before a follow - up is released , possibly in 2026.
In addition to the home release of Godzilla Minus One , a Blu - ray collectors edition is also available for fans . The region - free , four - disc box set includes the 4 K UHD and Blu - ray versions of the film , as well as the black and white cut of the film . The deluxe collectors edition can be reserved exclusively from Godzilla.com ahead of the Sept. 2024 launch . Originally released in Japan in May , the box set features stunning packaging and bonus content for fans to enjoy.
