It's supposedly set around 1947 in postwar Japan, at least 6 years before the original Gojira. If the rumors pan out, that would make it some sort of prequel although it would still negate some of what happened or is referenced in Gojira '54 seeing as how that Godzilla was the first time a giant monster attacked Japan.
I just hope they use a rather horrifying look for Godzilla, maybe a cross between Shin, the Ride version and the '54 version. Stay away from the fat, toadlike US design and the super spikey Millennium version(s).
