Original: ‘Godzilla Minus Zero’ Director Champions Franchise’s First R Rating as Sequel Rocks NYFF at World Premiere: ‘Censoring’ the Action ‘Was Not an Option’

'Godzilla Minus Zero' premiered at the New York Film Festival, where director Takashi Yamazaki defended the decision to give the sequel the franchise's first R rating. He said censoring the film's destructive action 'was not an option', signalling a darker, more intense entry in the kaiju series following the success of 'Godzilla Minus One'.
