“Movie audiences can look forward to a great time watching ’SHIN GODZILLA’ this October,” said Mike DuBoise, EVP and COO of Funimation. “A larger than life monster like Godzilla has to be experienced on the big screen.  And we expect this movie to sellout in numerous theaters so we encourage fans to purchase tickets in advance.”

About
Make way for the ultimate homage to one of the most enduring legends of the big screen—Godzilla! The King of the Monsters is back in Tokyo for a city-crushing crusade that speaks to the very roots of the world-renowned franchise.
It’s a peaceful day in Japan when a strange fountain of water erupts in the bay, causing panic to spread among government officials. At first, they suspect only volcanic activity, but one young executive dares to wonder if it may be something different… something alive. His worst nightmare comes to life when a massive, gilled monster emerges from the deep and begins tearing through the city, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake. As the government scrambles to save the citizens, a rag-tag team of volunteers cuts through a web of red tape to uncover the monster’s weakness and its mysterious ties to a foreign superpower. But time is not on their side—the greatest catastrophe to ever befall the world is about to evolve right before their very eyes.

Funimation announced at SDCC that it will release Shin Godzilla in North America (as well as a few other areas), and yes it will be under the Shin Godzilla title not Godzilla Resurgence. Below is their press release with all the details.

Funimation Films Secures Rights to SHIN GODZILLA Movie Throughout the Americas
SAN DIEGO, CA – July 22, 2016. Last night in a surprise announcement to fans at San Diego Comic Con 2016, Funimation® Films announced its acquisition of the live action film “SHIN GODZILLA” from Toho Company, Ltd. The agreement includes theatrical, home entertainment, video on demand and broadcast rights for the upcoming Japanese live-action feature film and covers all of the Americas (North America, Central America, South America and the Caribbean). Funimation is currently planning to release “SHIN GODZILLA” in theaters in late 2016.

“Funimation is extremely pleased to be working with Toho to bring ‘SHIN GODZILLA’ to audiences across the Americas,” said Gen Fukunaga, CEO and President of Funimation.

“SHIN GODZILLA” is a Japanese tokusatsu kaiju film — a live action science fiction monster movie featuring special effects. It is the 29th Godzilla film produced by Toho and the 31st in the franchise. The film is co-directed by Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi. Both directors performed double duties as writer and visual effects director respectively. Higuchi most recently directed the live action film adaption of “ATTACK ON TITAN” (“Shingeki no Kyojin”) which was released in 2015. “SHIN GODZILLA” stars Hiroki Hasegawa and Satomi Ishihara — both alums of the “ATTACK ON TITAN” movie — and Yutaka Takenouchi.

“’SHIN GODZILLA’ represents a brand new chapter in the 62-year history of this iconic science fiction monster,” said Mike DuBoise, EVP and COO of Funimation. “We’re excited to bring audiences this new vision of Godzilla from Toho as reimagined by directors Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi.”

Godzilla was born in 1954 from H-bomb test and Toho has made this simple premise into the biggest movie series of all time. They made use of miniatures and real world special effects to bring it to life. Toho has stay with this approach for 50 years and 28 installments they are releasing the first Godzilla movie in over 12 years, Shin Godzilla on July 29, 2016. 

To celebrate is the exhibition, Godzilla At The Museum: Creative Tracks Of Daikaiju showcasing those miniatures and special effects of the Godzilla movies, design drawings, set drawings, documentary photography, and the like, as well as focusing on the illustrations and three-dimensional modeling that has been created on the basis of the Godzilla movies. It shows the imagination, creativity, power of expression, and will introduce the boundless charm of subject that Godzilla.
​
In addition there will be a screening of Shin Godzilla and even an awesome event Godzilla Vs Orchestra, featuring a live orchestra playing Akira Ifukube's music while the original Godzilla film is shown.

The event runs from July 15, 2016 - August 31, 2016, at the Fukuoka Art Museum with the Godzilla Vs Orchestra event taking place at Fukuoka Symphony Hall on June 15.

Toho released two trailers today a 30 second spot (below) and a full trailer (above) and there was pics (bottom) and info from Cinema Today (Japan) and the official Shin Godzilla site. The movie, which is to be released July 29th, will be released in IMAX as well as 4D ([4DX] [MX4D]) at the same time in Japan. It seems to hint that this will be the biggest release of the year in Japan, I don't doubt it.

Earlier we posted the announcement regarding Shin Godzilla including the Godzilla Vs Evangelion promo print now we have more pics of the merchandise (below) and there were logos as well (above) besides the print. There was rumor as well of a crossover movie but that part was a April Fool's joke on Toho's part but considering Neon Genesis Evangelion director Hideaki Anno is doing Shin Godzilla is wasn't so far fetched.

Update: Quote from Stan Hyde - "the upshot is that the final maquette of Shin Godzilla (GODZILLA RESURGENCE) will be exhibited at the festival so that the new Godzilla (or at least one of the versions of him in the film) will be seen. Sculptor of the final maquette, as noted earlier, is (the awesome) Takayuki Takeya."
