The black-and-white version of “Shin Godzilla,” titled “ORTHOchromatic,” resembles the remastered, monochrome rendition of the Academy Award-winning Godzilla film, “Godzilla Minus One Minus Color.” These grayscale adaptations of contemporary Godzilla movies are designed to mimic the same mood and ambiance as the original 1954 Godzilla film, which was also filmed in black and white. By eliminating color, these remastered versions accentuate various aspects of the films that were previously overlooked. GKIDS recently released the colored version of “Shin Godzilla” in early August to coincide with the upcoming 4K Disc release of the film. The black-and-white adaptation, “Shin Godzilla: ORTHOchromatic,” will be available in the US and Canada starting on August 31st.
