After you see Godzilla Minus Zero<\/em> this weekend, the first thing you\u2019ll want to do is watch it again. After that, you\u2019ll probably want to know what happens next to the characters and creatures who may or may not survive. Writer-director Takashi Yamazaki feels the same way. He\u2019s just not sure when that\u2019ll happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say it\u2019s about fifty-fifty at this point,\u201d Yamazaki told the Hollywood Reporter when asked if he\u2019ll complete the trilogy. \u201cI\u2019m quite satisfied and happy with the current ending we have. It entrusts the interpretation to the audience in terms of how they want to receive it and what they want to walk out of theaters with. That being said, if Godzilla Minus Zero<\/em> is my last Godzilla<\/em> film, that would make me a bit sad. I do have other films lined up, starting with Grandgear<\/em> and a few others, but at some point in my career, I would love to revisit Godzilla<\/em> and see how we can expand this world.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bit we\u2019re most intrigued by is \u201cIf Godzilla Minus Zero<\/em> is my last Godzilla<\/em> film, that would make me a bit sad.\u201d No one wants to be sad. However, as he says, he\u2019s already committed to his next film, Grandgear<\/em>, a giant robot movie with Bad Robot that J.J. Abrams is producing (casting for which has already begun) Plus, he\u2019s also developing some kind of mystery movie with Ridley Scott. So Yamazaki can basically do whatever he wants once his next film is done.<\/p>\n

Considering Godzilla Minus Zero<\/em> is almost certain to be the number-one movie in the world this weekend, though, and the film leaves itself wide open for more stories, we\u2019d imagine the pull of a follow-up will be as powerful as a heat ray.<\/p>\n

Godzilla Minus Zero<\/em> is in theaters now. Yamazaki\u2019s next film, Grandgear<\/em>, is scheduled for release on January 14, 2028.<\/p>\n
