Liar Game: Reborn first trailer up and small details, and a new game?

k_ryuuji — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 10:24:44 +0000

After two seasons of Liar Game and the theatrical movie Liar Game: The Final Stage, Liar Game is back with a sequel which will hit Japanese theaters March this year. This movie is titled, Liar Game: Reborn, is a whole new story after the events from Liar Game: The Final Stage. The movie was announced back a month or two ago, with a teaser trailer for the movie being show on the official website of the film. Then, not too long ago, the first trailer had been put up on the official website.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1XUWdJCu5Q

The teaser trailer just shows us not much information about the story, but some familiar faces and new faces too. During this time where the teaser trailer was up, the cast details also went to place, which two familiar faces we are going to see in this movie would be the protagonist, Akiyama Shinichi (potrayed by Matsuda Shota) and Fukunaga Yuji (potrayed by Suzuki Kosuke) whom is now a member of the ‘Liar Game Office’. And we also get to see many new faces, plus a surprise which would actually break the hearts of all the fan of the character , Kanzaki Nao (potrayed by Toda Erika). Character and cast information was also placed up when the teaser trailer had been put up.

So, then you may ask, why two and not three familiar faces? or what happened to the heroine, Kanzaki Nao? We would already know and expected that Kanzaki Nao did not want to be in the Liar Game Tournament after she “ended” the game in the Garden of Eden with Akiyama Shinichi in the previous movie, Liar Game: The Final Stage. This movie is supposed to be after the events of “ The Final Stage” and its a whole new story in which a new heroine, Shinomiya Yu (potrayed by Mikako Tabe) will come in.

The dealer’s identity is erm, still a mystery as always, so I have not much to say about the dealers ever since I watched the first season. A new character I would want to point out is Alice. Alice is a new character and she will be in the 4 people in the ‘Liar Game Office’ along with Fukunaga and including the dealer. It looks like Alice is the mastermind behind this Liar Game Tournament in the Liar Game Office. Child actress Ashida Mana would be acting in this movie as Alice. (For the truth, her giggle at the end of the first trailer does give me the chills after hearing it…)

After the teaser trailer was released, the first trailer of Liar Game: Reborn was placed up on the official website, replacing the teaser on the site. The first trailer shows a little bit more on the story, which they teased one game from the tournament called Musical Chairs. More news was also added on the news page of the site, which the last updated was back last month in December.

Yasukata Nakata from the duo, capsule, will be back to do the music for this upcoming movie. He was involved for producing the awesome background music for Liar Game: The Final Stage, Liar Game and Liar Game Season Two and the Liar Game Theme.

It was announced during the announcement of the teaser trailer that the movie would be released on the 3rd of March this year in Japanese theaters. I’m just hoping that the movie would be coming over to Singapore like that time when they were showing Liar Game: The Final Stage.

Do check out for more news and info on the official site. I am looking foward to see this movie, and is actually very excited when the news came in when they announced that Liar Game will have a sequel in 2012.

tueac — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 13:04:38 +0000

According to reports, the Hollywood version of the animated feature AKIRA has stopped it’s pre-production, with it’s production office in Vancouver closed.

The director, Jaume Collet-Serra, that replaced Albert Hughes and the films producer will meet in the next weeks to decide whether to continue producing the film.

Reports have it that the budget have already been halved to 90 million dollars and it might face a further cut in budget with a revised script or screenplay if it continues.

Either way, it seem even if it’s going to be made, the film stands a higher chance of becoming worst then it already is… Will it inherit the worst anime Movie title from dragonball?

Hmm…
