Anime News Network has reported the explosive news that Toho will be planning a new Godzilla film for 2016. Hot off the heels of the 2014 film's success, Toho will be combining a team that will start production summer of next year.

August Ragone's The Good, The Bad and The Godzilla confirms this report comes from reputable Japanese sources, Nikkei and Eiga.com. Ragone translated some information himself:

"The screenplay is currently in development and we plan to start shooting next summer. We cannot announce cast or staff selections at this time. And we’re still deliberating whether to bring Godzilla to life via CGI or man-in-suit,” said Taiji Ueda who will serve as project leader.

Visit Ragone's report on the big news for the most accurate translations.

The film will not be in continuity with Gareth Edwards' Godzilla, but rather a stand alone movie not unlike the Millennium Godzilla films. (Although it's too early to say if it will have sequels in direct continuity.) This will mark the first instance of two Godzilla series, started by two different countries, thriving at the same time.

One has to wonder if Toho will do things differently than they did in the 90s and 00s. The studio has gone through several changes since 2004 and surely understand they gain nothing by treading on the same production schedule that helped torpedo the last few films. ...Right?

Paint me excited at the moment. The wait for Gareth Edwards' Godzilla 2 won't be quite as rough with Toho stepping in to keep Godzilla's popularity in the spotlight. It will be wonderful to see Godzilla come home again. I eagerly await the next Japanese era of Godzilla's career.

The next Godzilla film is slated for 2016. Gareth Edwards' Godzilla 2 will be released in 2018.

Thanks to KaijusRock for the tip. Massive thanks to August Ragone's hard work confirming it for the English speaking fandom.

I do believe in should stay Suitmation, having it CGI would just be weird. But having a suitmation, and CGI Godzilla series going at the same time, MIND BLOWN.

GORILLAGODZILA - I agree; the new film should definatley retain the use of suitmation! :)

On that day, Japan received a grim reminder. That he is the King...and nothing can stop him.

And that this is his son

Man these years are going to be good to be a Godzilla fan. I hope this Japanese Godzilla movie is cool. Wonder if they are going to use new and old monsters but updated for the generation?
