SHIN GODZILLA Roars Onto the Big Screen in 60 Carmike Cinemas in October

Written and Directed by Anime Superstar Hideaki Anno Source: Carmike Cinemas press release Official Site: shin-godzilla.jp (Japan), funimationfilms.com/shingodzilla (US) Special Thanks to Gina McKenzie The creators of Godzilla are unleashing their newest monster SHIN GODZILLA (??????, Shin Gojira, 2016) on 60 Carmike Cinemas locations next month. The Japanese sci-fi flick is co-directed by anime superstar Hideaki Anno (EVANGELION) and Shinji Higuchi (ATTACK ON TITAN) and it is set for a limited release for one week starting on Tuesday, October 11 at 7:30 p.m. with encores set for Wednesday, October 12 at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, October 15 at 1:30 p.m. and Tuesday, October 18 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available via carmike.com. While there have been a few U.S. based Godzilla films, the real classic series has come from Toho, a Japanese based media company. Toho produced the first Godzilla movie in 1954; the first of what has become the longest continuously running movie franchise. Over the years, Godzilla has become a pop culture icon as well as an early and influential classic in the monster film genre. Godzilla is Toho’s most famous creation. SHIN GODZILLA is Toho’s rebirth for the series and will include a good old-fashioned war between monster and humanity. Toho is making its own Godzilla film parallel to whatever Hollywood is doing with the famous giant monster. And in a brilliant move, they have brought in Anno to write and direct. The creator of NEON GENESIS EVANGELION has crafted something that is more in line with the ideas behind the classic Godzilla films. Needless to say, fans are looking forward to seeing what kind of destruction Godzilla will be waging on Japan.

Synopsis

It’s a peaceful day in Japan when a strange fountain of water erupts in the bay, causing panic to spread among government officials. At first, they suspect only volcanic activity, but one young executive dares to wonder if it may be something different -- something alive. His worst nightmare comes to life when a massive, gilled monster emerges from the deep and begins tearing through the city, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake. As the government scrambles to save the citizens, a rag-tag team of volunteers cuts through a web of red tape to uncover the monster’s weakness and its mysterious ties to a foreign superpower. But time is not on their side -- the greatest catastrophe to ever befall the world is about to evolve right before their very eyes.
