Who wants a movie with Tadanobu Asano having a guitar battle with space aliens to reclaim the drum kit that is the source of his power? I do! I do! Throw in the fact that the piece was directed by Asano himself - just the second directorial effort from the international star - and written by Shinji Aoyama and I'm sold well before I even get to the other people involved in R246 Story. That the other contributors include the likes of Shido Nakamura is purely a bonus in my books. We've been tracking this one for a while and now we've got a full theatrical trailer to go along with the two earlier teasers. Tasty. Check them below the break.
Looks pretty fucking mad, and of course good, can't wait.
Could do without some fluff documentary piece on B Boy culture, but then again, maybe I'll be surprised and it will some how be a fake documentary that goes in unexpected territory ala Big Man Japan seems to kind of clash with everything else. Otherwise, this looks great. Tadanobu is a god. Might have to go on home and watch Electric Dragon tonight.
Wait...it's got Genki Sudo? Neat.
This looks great. But then again, anything with Asano is worth a peek.
M-FLO!!! TERIYAKI BOYZ!!! ASANO!!!
lookin good!!!
I've seen Asano's segment at the Tokyo Short Shorts Festival back in June. It's pretty fun and quirky stuff. Asano was really playing second fiddle to the little girl in the film and spends almost the entire film writhing and screaming in agony like he did in the above trailer, the crowd liked it.
looks fucking crazy.
