The oversized horror lizard returns, but this time in a classic, nostalgia-scented version that brings back memories of days gone by. Godzilla Minus One Minus Color has arrived on Netflix, and they’re celebrating with a short trailer.
A lot of work has gone into the new monochrome version of the film, which not only nods to the 1954 original, but also emphasizes the seriousness of the emotions portrayed by Godzilla Minus One. A clear contrast to, for example, MonsterVerse and its colorful, exhibitionistic approach.
In an interview with The Wrap The producer of the film described the film as follows:
“The original 1954 ‘Godzilla’ is in black and white, of course. But that alone sparked our interest in what a ‘Godzilla’ film would look like if it was made in black and white using modern technology. But just removing the color wouldn’t evoke the same kind of emotion we wanted to convey to the audience, which is why we turned to the colorist and actually masked different parts of each shot and adjusted the contrast by hand, rather than just hitting the ‘remove color’ button.”
