Filed under "The Top 5 Headlines I never expected to see soon", AnimeNewsNetwork.com and other sources (Nikkei, Eiga.com) have reported that our beloved Tokusatsu extrodinaires, TOHO, have begun production on their first Godzilla film since 2004's Godzilla Final Wars.
I'll give you a minute to let that sink in. While we wait, here's a picture of a very smug looking Eiji Tsuburaya.

This news comes relatively close to the news of TOHO's new Godzilla Conference or Godzicon, which has been described as a team of staff members who's sole purpose is to pave the way for the future of all things Godzilla. It appears they've been hard at work. This new film is reported to not have any connection to the new series being created in conjunction with Legendary Pictures, but rather a new Godzilla film altogether solely by TOHO. Word is yet to come out if this is the beginning of a new TOHO series or just a one off film.
It seems we're going to be seeing a lot of the King in the coming years.
The new TOHO Godzilla film (God it feels so good to say that.) is set to release in 2016.
Legendary's Godzilla 2 (featuring TOHO heavyweights, Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah) is set for 2018.
