The official website for King Game, the latest live-action film by manga artist Tatsuya Egawa (Golden Boy, Tokyo Daigaku Monogatari), has been updated with a new trailer.
Unlike Egawa’s last film, 2006’s “Tokyo University Story”, this is not based on one of his manga, but an entirely original story. Takuya Ishida (The Chasing World) and Sei Ashina (Nanase Futatabi: The Movie) star as two of 10 people gathered together in a room to play a mysterious game. In fact, they’ve each been brought there under a secret contract, and are not allowed to reveal any details about their true identities to each other. The film is said to highlight dark aspects of the human psyche, illustrating people’s potential for lust and violence when trapped somewhere and controlled.
“King Game” will be released at Shinjuku K’s Cinema on August 28, 2010.
Thanks to logboy for the heads up.
