Get A First Look At The Teaser For New Doc About Late Legendary Athlete Antonio Inoki
Following its announcement earlier this year at New Japan Pro-Wrestling Wrestle Kingdom 17, the first official teaser for (translates via Japanese websites as) “Looking For Antonio Inoki” has dropped ahead of its October 6 release in Japan from Gaga. The film is a hybrid documentary with interviews, dramatizations and archival footage, produced by Ryuhei Tsutsui and Yusuke Wakabayashi, and directed by Keisuke Wada and Mitsuhiro Mihara.
Inoki was a living legend, prolific mixed martial artist and wrestler who carved a name for himself in sports and in politics by 1989. He passed away last October at the age of 79, nearly marking a year until the new release of the doc which also commemorates the NJPW’s 50th anniversary.
