“Godzilla Minus One” was one of the very best movies of last year and won the legendary franchise its very first Oscar in nearly 70 years this past spring. And after hitting digital and streaming earlier this year, the film is (finally) getting a deluxe home video edition this September. It includes both “Godzilla Minus One” and the “Godzilla Minus Color” black-and-white version, costs $65 and can be pre-ordered here on Toho’s official Godzilla store. Plus, get an exclusive look at the bonus features above.
The deluxe edition will be a limited release and the first opportunity to own “Godzilla Minus One” on home video in the U.S. It preserves the Japanese treatment in both packaging and content (released in Japan earlier this year), as the “Deluxe Japan Collector’s Edition” includes all the same features as the original Japan release with the added addition of English menus and the option to select the theatrical release English subtitles for “Godzilla Minus One” and “Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color.” Truly, we are blessed.
In the above clip from the making-of material, you can see how the complex visual effects were rigged and then animated. And it’s not just things like planes or Godzilla himself, but set extensions, digital environments and much more.
If for some reason you’ve waited to watch “Godzilla Minus One,” this is the best way to watch the movie — and if you’re already a fan of the film, this is must-own merch.
