Anime UK News :: New trailers for Sky Crawlers, Blade of the Immortal

Latest News & Rumours

New trailers for Sky Crawlers, Blade of the Immortal	Fri, 25 Apr 2008
Several impressive new trailers have been released recently and here's a quick run-down of what to look out for: A new (and much longer) trailer for Mamoru "Ghost in the Shell" Oshii's Sky Crawlers has been placed on YouTube. The theatrical movie, previously described as a "a philosophical story built around the visceral trials and tribulations of a group young fighter pilots who are forced into fighting a "war for entertainment"" will be out in Japan later this summer. The official website for the anime adaptation of Blade of the Immortal (a violent, supernatural samurai epic) has gone live with an extended streaming flash trailer. Be warned, it contains bloody gore. A 35-second teaser for the live action thriller 20th Century Boys has appeared online. It’s set to become the most expensive Japanese film project of all time, being based on Naoki "Monster, Master Keaton" Urasawa’s multi-generational manga of same name. The story involves a group of men who, as childhood friends in the 1970s, wrote (and then buried) a comic-book manuscript that describes a massive terrorist attack on the civilized world. Decades later, their story, including every insignificant little detail, starts to come true. Related: The Sky Crawlers, Mamoru Oshii
