Production is underway for Kaiju: Island Of Fire, according to a new press announcement on Monday. Cameras are rolling in Japan for the flick which hails from NorthStar Pictures JP, and is written and directed by former stuntman Andrew J. Phillips (World War Z, The Dark Knight Rises, Captain America: The First Avenger).
Here is the logline: “A combined military task force travels to an ancient Japanese Island, searching for the missing members of a construction team, currently in the process of building a new military base. Once there, they find a foreboding, fiery landscape that hides a terrifying threat, capable of destroying them…and all who venture near.”
The latest additions to Kaiju: Island Of Fire are Philip Granger (Backrooms, Tucker And Dale vs Evil), Yuki Morita (Godzilla 2014, Shogun), Jason Schombing ( Time Cop, X-Files), Jerry Trimble (Heat, Mission Impossible: 3), Dylan Schombing (Watchmen, Warcraft), and Seth Whittaker (Batwoman, X-Files). The six now join Wes Wing (Godzilla: Minus Zero), Tom Constantine (Snake Eyes), Tomoko Ai (Terror Of Mecha Godzilla), Masaaki Neguchi, Yoshiro Uchida (Gamera The Giant Monster), Linda Miller (King Kong Escapes, The Green Slime), Carl Craig (Gamera vs Viras), and Inge Murata (Shin Godzilla, Monster X Strikes Back), as well as a reunion of a trio of actors from fan-favorite Godzilla vs King Ghidorah (1991): Robert Scott Field, Chuck Wilson, and Kent Gilbert.
The film is expected to release in 2026.
