On Saturday, the official website for Shinsuke Sato‘s upcoming 2-part live-action adaptation of GANTZ was updated with a new 90-second theatrical trailer as well as a second teaser.
The films are based on Hiroya Oku’s long-running manga about two students who die in a train accident only to be brought back to life by a mysterious black sphere called GANTZ. The pair, played by Kazunari Ninomiya of the pop group Arashi and actor Kenichi Matsuyama, receive enhancement suits which give them the superhuman abilities needed to complete a series of alien assassination missions. Through these missions they earn “points” toward buying their own freedom, but various incidents complicate matters along the way.
Other announced cast members include Yuriko Yoshitaka as Tae Kojima, Kanata Hongo as Joichiro Nishi, Natsuna (formerly Natsuna Watanabe) as Kei Kishimoto and Takayuki Yamada as Shigeta Masamitsu.
Toho will be releasing Part 1 (Zenpen) on January 29th. Part 2 (Kouhen) will follow sometime later in 2011.
