There’s a new giant monster movie in production, aiming for a 2026 release, with Hollywood stuntman turned filmmaker Andrew L. Phillips (World War Z, The Dark Knight Rises, Captain America: The First Avenger) at the helm. The film is called Kaiju: Island of Fire – and the cast includes several familiar faces from the Godzilla and Gamera franchises!
Here’s the cast line-up:
As you may have noticed from that list, Kaiju: Island of Fire features the reunion of a trio of actors from the fan-favorite kaiju movie Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991) with Robert Scott Field, Chuck Wilson, and Kent Gilbert.
Andrew L. Phillips is directing the film from his own script. The story he crafted has the following synopsis:
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.
Coming our way from NorthStar Pictures JP, Kaiju: Island of Fire is being produced by James H. Christy and Avery Guerra.
