Who here cannot get enough of the Oscar-winning Godzilla Minus One and wish you could take home a copy of the film? Well, if you do, you are in luck. The Godzilla Minus One Blu-ray Deluxe Japan Collector’s Edition announced for Japan’s market is now heading to the U.S. market.
The Godzilla Minus One Blu-ray Deluxe Japan Collector’s Edition is the same as the for-Japanese market version—right down to the features and packaging—except that it now has English menus and the option to select the theatrical release English subtitles for non-Japanese language audiences.
Not all discs have English subtitle options though. The collectible Blu-ray set has four discs: Disc 1: Godzilla Minus One 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Disc 2: Godzilla Minus One Blu-ray, Disc 3: Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color Blu-ray, and Disc 4: Bonus Blu-ray.
