In response, Toho has produced the new feature Godzilla: Resurgence, created in the original style with director Hideaki Anno directing.
Godzilla: Resurgence opens in U.S. theaters October 11th, 2016.
The film was picked up for U.S. distribution by Funimation, and now we know when they plan to roll the release out to theaters.
The release is not associated with the sequel to the U.S. Godzilla, which is still in development as part of a shared universe that will include Kong: Skull Island and a new version of King Kong Vs Godzilla.
