Parasyte: The Final Act Live Action Movie Trailer
The official website for the second live-action Parasyte film uploaded a trailer for the film which will get a theatrical release on April 25th.
Synopsis
Mysterious worm-like aliens tumble from the sky and penetrate people through their ears, nose and mouth and head to the brain to live-off and control it. Shinichi Izumi (Shota Sometani) was an ordinary high school student who was suddenly attacked by a parasite but he fought it off. For the most part. The thing still exists inside him but it lives in his right hand. Izumi learns to co-exist with the parasite and because of this he discovers the presence of the others. He’s being monitored by another parasite that inhabits the body of his teacher Ryoko Tamiya (Eri Fukatsu). With only his best friend Satomi Murano (Ai Hashimoto) to rely on, what can Izumi do? He can learn to work with the parasite who lives inside of him and battle the others who see humans as merely food.
The film is going under the title Parasyte: The Final Act and is the second of two films adapting Hitoshi Iwaaki’s 10 volume manga which ran in Kodansha’s Afternoon magazine from 1990-1995. It is directed by Takashi Yamazaki (Space Battleship Yamato) and stars some great actors like Shota Sometani (Himizu) who takes the lead as Shinichi Izumi, Ai Hashimoto (The Kirishima Thing, the live-action adaptation of Another) who plays Shinichi’s close friend Satomi Murano and Tadanobu Asano (Ichi the Killer, Vital).
