'''''Shin Godzilla''''' ('''''Shin-Gojira''''' in Japan), formerly ''Godzilla Resurgence'', is a 2016 {{kaiju}} {{tokusatsu}} film, the 31st entry in the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' franchise and the 29th Godzilla film produced by Creator/{{Toho}}. Announced in December 2014 as a ContinuityReboot made in response to the success of the [[Film/{{Godzilla 2014}} 2014 American Godzilla movie]], it is slated for release on July 29, 2016. In March 2015, it was announced that Creator/HideakiAnno of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' fame and Creator/ShinjiHiguchi of the Heisei ''Franchise/{{Gamera}}'' trilogy would be co-directing, with Anno writing the script and Higuchi in charge of special effects.

The film's premise is thus: When the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line mysteriously floods and collapses, Japan's Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary, Rando Yaguchi, is convinced that the incident was caused by a living creature, but his claims are shrugged off by the Prime Minister, who assumes the accident was caused by a natural disaster... but when a long massive tail surfaces from the Bay, the possibility of a [[{{Kaiju}} giant monster]] becomes a reality.

The film's Japanese title is a multiple entendre that can be read as "New Godzilla", "Pure Godzilla", "True Godzilla", or "God Godzilla". Few details about the film's plot and cast have been revealed, beyond that it stars Hiroki Hasegawa and Yutaka Takenouchi as government officials, and Satomi Ishihara as an American agent. The film's incarnation of Godzilla will be a hybrid of computer graphics and practical special effects, and is slated to be the biggest one yet, standing 118 meters tall, and takes design cues from the original [[Film/{{Gojira}} 1954 film]].

Unlike Toho's other Godzilla films, [[http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2016/06/13/godzilla-resurgence-exclusive-high-res-photos-from-toho/ this one will be ignoring the original 1954 film completely, with it being the first time Godzilla appears in Japan]].

It has been announced that ''Creator/{{Funimation}}'' (yes, you read it right) [[http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2016/07/21/exclusive-funimation-licenses-godzilla-resurgence/ has the license for the film and will be released late 2016]].

----
!! ''Godzilla Resurgence'' contains examples of:

* AntagonistTitle: As a nod to [[Film/{{Gojira}} the film that started it all]], the title character is the sole BigBad.
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Toho has made clear their intentions to one-up Legendary's incarnation of Godzilla, stating that their version will be ''[[UpToEleven even bigger]]'' (specifically, it will be 118.5 meters tall, 10 meters taller than Legendary's incarnation and 18.5 meters taller than Toho's previous biggest Godzilla).
* AprilFoolsDay: Toho decided to use this to help promote the movie. How? By announcing a crossover movie between Godzilla and ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' (which makes sense, as Hideaki Anno directed the latter). While it obviously turned out too good to be true, Toho is at least selling tickets with special artwork featuring both Godzilla and EVA Unit-01 and merchandising mashing up the two properties such as Godzilla versions of the NERV logo, Heisei Godzilla in Unit-01's colors, and action figures of the Millennium Mechagodzilla painted in the colors of EVA-01 and EVA-02.
* BodyHorror: This Godzilla is very much a victim of radioactivity as much as he is empowered by it. He has a very emaciated frame with patches of exposed blood-red flesh and tumors over his body, and small, shrivelled, burnt-looking arms. He also appears to have a whale skeleton stuck to the bloody red tip of his tail.
* TheCameo: [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Unit-01]] appears alongside Godzilla on the official site's splash art.
* ContinuityReboot: This will actually be an actual reboot instead of how previous movies connect with the first film.
* CreepilyLongArms: Inverted. This Godzilla has arms that are rather thin and short. This prevents Godzilla from being portrayed using a conventional suit.
* {{Crossover}}: Besides the ''Godzilla/Evangelion'' merchandising, a crossover special between Shin-Godzilla and ''Anime/CrayonShinChan'' is set to air close to the film's release date.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Creator/ShinjiHiguchi has stated the tone of the film is supposed to take cues from real world disasters, such as [[TheWarOnTerror 9/11]], the March 2011 Tsunami and Earthquake that struck Japan, and the subsequent Fukushima nuclear plant disaster.
* DaylightHorror: Unlike the original ''Film/{{Gojira}}'' and ''Film/TheReturnOfGodzilla'', this Godzilla attacks during the day.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Godzilla's appearance in the April 2016 trailer made him appear genuinely ''enraged''. He's been burnt and his body ruined by humanity's use of nukes, and he's going to make humanity ''pay''.
* JitterCam: The December 2015 trailer shows hundreds of people running from an unseen Godzilla, and looks like it was filmed using a phone camera.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Godzilla has a massive mouth lined with needle-sharp fangs, evocative of deep-sea fish.
* MythologyGag: A promotional poster of Godzilla's footprint shows a trilobite in one of the toes, as a CallBack to the original 1954 movie. Even the design of Godzilla's head is evocative of concept work for the 1954 film.[[note]]Which had a malformed-looking head and tiny eyes.[[/note]]
* NoSell: Godzilla is completely unfazed by the barrage from tanks, launchers and helicopters. In other words, even in his fragile, zombie-like state, Godzilla is invincible to human weaponry.
* NothingIsScarier: Played straight with the December 2015 teaser, which only showed people running from Godzilla without showing Godzilla himself. Completely averted with the April 2016 trailer, which doesn't shy away from showing off the new Godzilla in all his radioactive glory.
* PurpleIsPowerful: A preview clip shown at the Toho Shinjuku Cinema reveals that [[spoiler:Godzilla's Atomic Breath is purple/violet, rather than blue or red]].
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: This version of Godzilla is blood-red and jet black, and certainly looks malevolent.
* RevisitingTheRoots: Like the 1954 film, this is slated to be a horror movie.
* TitleConfusion: "Shin" can be written using different kanji characters and thus, can mean literally anything from "progress", to "humility", "advance" through to "gentleman", and even "heart" or "belief". The three meanings emphasized by Anno are "new", "true", and "god".
* {{Toku}}: The film's special effects will be a combination of ''tokusatsu'' suitmation and the best CGI Japan has to offer, similar to the 2015 ''Film/AttackOnTitan'' film.
