Gantz live-action movie trailer



A trailer for the upcoming live-action films Gantz, directed by Shinsuke Sato and based on Hiroya Oku's sci-fi action manga. The first of two Gantz movies should premiere in Japan next year in January, followed by a second movie in spring 2011. The film's lead actors will be Kazunari Ninomiya (Tekkon Kinkreet, Letters from Iwo Jima) and Kenichi Matsuyama (Death Note, Detroit Metal City, NANA, Kamui Gaiden), playing as Kei Kurono and Masaru Kato, respectively. The two are college students who die in a subway accident, only to be brought back to life by a mysterious black sphere known as GANTZ. Equipped with advanced weaponry and special suits that give them superhuman abilities, they're forced to carry out alien assassination missions, earning "points" toward eventually buying their freedom. However, various incidents along the way complicate matters. (based on Nippon Cinema synopsis)
