A new Godzilla film is being made by Japanese film studio Toho, following the success of Hollywood’s latest remake directed by Gareth Edwards.<\/p>\n

Toho’s film will be released in 2016, a decade years after its last take on the monster story, Godzilla: Final Wars.<\/p>\n

This year’s US Godzilla took more than $500m (\u00a3321m) worldwide, and a sequel is already planned for 2018.<\/p>\n

Toho said innovations in computer graphics technology were behind its decision to revive the franchise.<\/p>\n

The film company previously said that its 2004 Godzilla film – the 28th in the series – would be its last.<\/p>\n

The franchise began with 1954’s widely-praised Japanese original, directed by Ishiro Honda.<\/p>\n

Gareth Edwards’ 2014 take on Godzilla topped the UK and US box office in May<\/div>\n

However, more recent productions – such as the 1998 Hollywood version directed by Roland Emmerich – failed to impress fans or critics.<\/p>\n

Edward’s film – a co-production for Legendary Pictures and Warner Brothers released in May this year – revived the franchise.<\/p>\n

Tokyo-based company Toho, which owns the rights to Godzilla, has not yet picked a director for its upcoming reboot.<\/p>\n

Veteran producer Taichi Ueda is heading up the new project at Toho studios, which has launched the Godzilla Strategic Conference (Godzi-Con) – a committee aiming to reboot the Godzilla brand.<\/p>\n

“The time has come for Japan to make a film that will not lose to Hollywood,” Ueda told reporters, according to Variety.<\/p>\n

The company is not expected to spend the $200m (\u00a3129m) reportedly lavished on the recent Hollywood Godzilla, but Ueda said Toho hopes to make Godzilla a character that “will represent Japan and be loved around the world” by the time of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.<\/p>\n

The fire-breathing, reptilian monster – a combination of the Japanese words for whale and gorilla – is a mutation caused by nuclear testing.<\/p>\n
