A decade after the release of Godzilla: Final Wars, the last Toho-produced Godzilla movie, the Japanese studio is poised to develop an all-new film featuring the King of the Monsters.
According to Variety, the movie will begin production in summer 2015 and hit theaters in 2016. A director and cast have yet to be announced.
Additionally, Toho launched the Godzilla Strategic Conference (Godzi-Con), "a committee of studio executives and directors whose aim is to reboot the Godzilla brand, including the new Godzilla pic," Variety notes.
The success of Gareth Edwards' 2014 Godzilla is said to be the inspiration for Toho's latest effort. That film, which Toho co-distributed with Warner Bros., earned $525 million worldwide and $26 million in Japan.
Meanwhile, Edwards is attached to direct a sequel to his own Godzilla pic, which bows on June 8, 2018. Warners and Legendary will again co-produce.
