Godzilla 3D to the MAX is an upcoming 3-D IMAX film installment into the franchise.
The movie was originally scheduled to be released theatrically in the United States on September 12th 2007, with a Japanese theatrical release to follow on a to be announced 2008 date. Aside from the 3-D IMAX format, the film is planned to be shot in 70mm film and is slated to be 40 minutes long. However, it took a long time to get funding approved from Toho, and the film was stuck in a state of "production hell" for about a year. As of February 2008, funding has been received and the movie is scheduled to be released in early 2009. It will be helmed by Yoshimitsu Banno, who previously directed Godzilla vs. Hedorah in 1971, and Keith Melton. 3D to the MAX will be produced by Kenji Okuhira and Brian Rogers respectively. The film's production is being done by Advanced Audiovisual Production, director Banno's own company stationed in Japan, and is being planned to target the American market along with an American cast. However, Toho, the creators of Godzilla, will act as technical advisors over the Godzilla character and will distribute the film in Japan. Special effects will be handed by Eiichi Asada.
