MISSING: Shinzo Katayama’s New Dramatic Thriller Scores Winter 2022 U.S. Rollout Via Dark Star
Following its acquisition by Dark Star Pictures last month, Siblings Of The Cape helmer Shinzô Katayama’s newest dramatic thriller, Missing, is now headed for a theatrical U.S. release in select cities followed by an On-Demand rollout this November. The film, marking Katayama’s commercial debut as of January, just recently screened for Fantastic Fest after its near-yearlong festival circulation, featuring headliners Jiro Sato and Hiroya Shimizu and young star Aoi Ito.
Depressed and in debt following the death of his wife, Santoshi (Jiro Sato) tells his young daughter he has found a way out. Pointing to a reward note, he vows to find the infamous serial killer “No Name” (Hiroya Shimizu) and cash in, claiming to have seen the man in the flesh a few days earlier. Kaeda (Aoi Ito) cannot take her aloof father serious. But when he goes missing without a trace, she starts to fear the worst—and must begin looking for him.
Missing will open theatrically in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Cleveland, as well as other major cities beginning November 4, with an On Demand release set for November 18, and the Blu-Ray release date for December 6.
