70 years after instilling fear in global audiences 1954's black and white Godzilla, the King of the Monsters will once again menace moviegoers in monochrome as Godzilla Minus One is re-released for one week only as Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color.
Playing in theaters everywhere January 26 through February 1, the Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color run marks every North American's fan's final chance to catch either version of the critically-acclaimed, award-winning, record-breaking global hit during its original theatrical run. The special release of Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color gives fans a way to commemorate the global phenomenon they helped propel to the forefront of pop culture with an intentional creative choice by its director.
"I was very happy that the North American audience embraced 'Godzilla Minus One' and gave us such positive feedback as 'It was incredible,' 'It was scary," and 'It made me cry," said Director, Screenwriter, and Visual Effects Supervisor Takahashi Yamazaki, "And now I am very pleased to be able to release a black-and-white version for North America as well. Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color will bring a new and visceral experience to audiences and I hope they will tremble with a new kind of terror."
Godzilla Minus One has earned $51 million in North America and is now both the highest grossing Japanese language film and the fifth highest grossing non-English-language film in North American box office history.
"Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color is not just a simple black and white version," Yamazki said, "The colorist took the care and the time to go through a careful and very complex process. The black-and-white images make Godzilla look very realistic and documentary-like, which leads to even more fear. Even we have seen Godzilla many times, but we felt that something completely different appeared there. It is very scary. So this is not only for those who liked Godzilla Minus One but also those who are seeing it for the first time. They should definitely see this black-and-white version. Especially the scene at the beginning where Godzilla appears in the night - it is so terrifying that it made my knees shake!"
Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color opens in theaters everywhere for one week only starting January 26, with all versions of Godzilla Minus One leaving theaters after February 1.
Be advised that some locations may be showing both Godzilla Minus One and Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color, so be sure to select the version you want to see when buying tickets.

There has been a lot of talk about about what an amazing film Godzilla Minus One truly is, and how the dramatic story featured in it has surprised both fans and critics alike, yet very little has been said about the actors themselves.
The World's Most Famous Monster Returns To Its Terrifying Roots In Godzilla Minus One
Godzilla Minus One is arguably the best monster movie ever! Heck, it is honestly one of the best movies that I have seen in years. This is nothing like the campy Godzilla films you know. The human drama will make you cry and the monster action is filled with 'OH MY GOD!" moments. Great script, great acting and visuals that will blow your mind. Even if you are not a monster movie fan, this is a must see movie event!
With the success of Godzilla Minus One on the top of his resume, Japanese film maker Takashi Yamazaki has expressed interest in following in director Gareth Edwards shoes by using Godzilla as a springboard into potentially making a Star Wars movie or television series. After seeing his fresh take on Godzilla, Yamazaki may just be the type of film maker the stale Star Wars franchise needs right now.
