If I ever occurred to direct a really great Godzilla movie that additionally occurred to turn into a record-breaking blockbuster of worldwide kaiju cinema alongside the best way, I’d personally be fairly content material. However I’m very glad that Takashi Yamazaki, who did precisely that with Godzilla Minus One, goes past that and simply utilizing its success to have a very nice time.
Earlier this week in Director Has Nice Time news, we introduced you on top of things on each Yamazaki’s delight at getting to satisfy well-known stars on the Critics Alternative Awards, as he dragged a miniature Godzilla across the vicinities of Robert De Niro, Harrison Ford, and extra—in addition to his wonderful style in Godzilla-themed formalwear sneakers. However now Yamazaki has saved that good time rolling, with a presentation of Godzilla Minus One to Lucasfilm workers on the studio’s San Francisco places of work in addition to a Q&A hosted by Chief Creative Officer (and noted Godzilla stan) Dave Filoni final week.
Yamazaki is himself a diehard Star Wars fan—when I spoke to him about his work on Lupin III: The First in 2020, his workplace was suffering from Star Wars mannequin kits he’d constructed—and just lately expressed his own desire to at some point make a Star Wars film, an extremely good thought for lots of causes that Lucasfilm ought to take the director up on as soon as it has re-remembered find out how to actually release a few movies once more. So whereas that is largely simply one other vital entry in a director who made one in every of 2023’s greatest motion pictures getting rewarded with having a pleasant time, fingers crossed that at the least someplace within the hallowed halls of the proverbial senate, somebody sat him down with the potential of getting his eye on the galaxy far, distant in some unspecified time in the future sooner or later.
