Director Ryuhei Kitamura‘s newest contribution to live action storytelling has a glossy new full trailer this week for the forthcoming release of Lupin III. Written by Mataichiro Yamamoto, the film is based on the original 1967 manga by Monkey Punch and other mediums in the years that followed, now presenting another new epic scope into the eponymous crime caper story with actor Shun Ogiri leading a cast in this new, multilingual origin tale that illustrates how Lupin’s team comes together. And it does so on a pretty large scale with shots in various parts of Asia, including Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines and Thailand.
Lupin, Jigen, Goemon, Fujiko, and Zenigata come together for the first time as Lupin and his crew attempt to steal the “Crimson Heart of Cleopatra” which is held in a giant high-security safe called the “Ark of Navarone”.
