In December 2014, Toho announced plans for a new "Godzilla" film of their own for a 2016 release. The film is intended to be Toho's own reboot of the "Godzilla" franchise and is co-directed by Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi (both who collaborated on the anime "Neon Genesis Evangelion"), with the screenplay written by Anno and the special effects directed by Higuchi. Principal photography began on September and ended in October with the special effects work following in November that year. "Shin Godzilla" was released in Japan on July 29, 2016, in IMAX, 4DX, and MX4D to positive reviews and was a box office success.
