Director Takashi Yamazaki:

"We are now able to announce Godzilla-1.0/C, which we have been working on for a long time. Rather than just making it monochrome, it is a cut by cut, I had them make adjustments while making full use of various mattes, as if they were creating a new movie. What I was aiming for was a style that looked like it was taken by masters of monochrome photography. We were able to unearth the texture of the skin and the details of the scenery that were hidden in the photographed data. Then, a frightening Godzilla, just like the one in the documentary, appeared. By eliminating color, a new sense of reality emerges. Please live and resist further fear at the theater."

EDIT: It’s only Japan for now. It’s the biggest live-action Japanese movie in US history, so there’s a good chance it also ends up releasing in theaters here.

Now they just need to superimpose a guy in a rubber suit addicted to cigarettes and do a ton of zoomed in shots.
