 Executive Producer Shogo Tomiyama (qv) decided to extend the  films production schedule beyond the regular time allowed by Toho  for Godzilla films, so that the film will be finished before the  general release date of 11 December. As a result, this will be the  only Godzilla film (as of 2004) that will not have a sneak preview  at the Tokyo International Film Festival, which has shown all  Godzilla movies every year since  _Gojira tai Kingu Gidorâ (1991)_ (qv), a month before their general  releases.
