"Godzilla-0.0" continues the creative team of the previous film, and is directed again by Takashi Yamazaki. The previous film "Godzilla 1.0" not only created a dazzling global box office, but also won the 96th Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, making the sequel highly anticipated. Toho Asia Entertainment held an IMAX media and VIP preview viewing venue in Banqiao, New Taipei City, today (4th). Many well-known creators, film critics and celebrities in the film and television and Internet circles attended, including Knee Joint, Super Grain Fang, Popcorn Movies, Ajie and others who made pilgrimages to the venue. Everyone was deeply impressed by the visual scale of the film, the momentum of the monster's appearance and the IMAX viewing experience.
Talking about the production of the sequel, Takashi Yamazaki said that the previous film was loved beyond expectations by fans, and he also felt the pressure to respond to the audience's expectations. Therefore, he put more effort into this time, hoping to make breakthroughs in visual effects and shooting techniques. In addition to creating the large-scale scene in Ginza, the crew also actually built the cockpit of the fighter jet. During the filming, the staff manually shook the fuselage outside to give the actors a more realistic sense of presence when operating the joystick.
