SHIN GODZILLA: First Japanese Blockbuster To Be Released in IMAX in Singapore

Opening on 25 August 2016, SHIN GODZILLA is the first ever Japanese blockbuster in Singapore to be released in IMAX. SHIN GODZILLA will al-so be available to audiences in 2D and D-Box.

Managing Director of Encore Films, Joyce Lee, said: “We’re delighted to present SHIN GODZILLA in IMAX to our local audiences. This is the first Japanese blockbuster to be re-leased in IMAX in Singapore, and we believe that the IMAX experience definitely befits the legendary ‘King of Monsters’. Audiences will be able to immerse themselves in SHIN GODZILLA’s thrilling action with IMAX’s unparalleled image and sound quality.”

After a gap of 12 years from the last Japanese adaptation, Godzilla is finally revived in SHIN GODZILLA by director-scriptwriter Hideaki Anno of the famed NEON GENESIS EVANGELION franchise. Shinji Higuchi, who directed the live action ATTACK ON TITAN films, joins Anno as co-director and special effects director. SHIN GODZILLA was released in Japan on 29 July 2016 to tremendous box office success, and it maintained the number one spot at the box office for two consecutive weeks. The film grossed over 3.3 million Yen in just two weeks, which surpassed the total Japanese box office of Hollywood’s 2014 GODZILLA and more than doubled that of Toho’s 2004 GODZILLA: FINAL WARS. The film has also been hailed as a “masterpiece” by Japanese critics.

An unknown source causes a catastrophic accident in the tunnels of the Tokyo Bay Aqua Line, leading to irreparable damage and massive flooding. An emergency cabinet meeting is ordered to salvage the situation and discover the cause of the accident. Soon after, a gigan-tic creature emerges and rampages through town after town, much to everyone’s horror. How will Japan deal with this gigantic “monster” that they know nothing about?

SHIN GODZILLA will be releasing in cinemas islandwide on 25 August 2016
