Singaporean film distributor Encore Films began streaming an English-subtitled teaser trailer for the Shin Godzilla film on Monday.
While it can be translated as “New Godzilla,” it can also mean “True Godzilla,” “God Godzilla,” and other connotations.
The Godzilla franchise of 29 films has sold over 100 million tickets in Japan, a first for a Japanese live-action film franchise.
Executive producer Akihiro Yamauchi (Trick, Densha Otoko, Bakuman.) explained that the film’s Japanese title, Shin Gojira or Shin Godzilla, signifies that it is not a “revival” or a “rebirth.”
