SHIN KAMEN RIDER Screening Dates Spotted for US Theatres!
While oddly not yet officially announced by Fathom Events (as of writing), screenings for a one-day only showing of SHIN KAMEN RIDER, the latest in the Shin Japan Heroes Universe by Hideaki Anno, have started to appear! While not all areas have had showings booked yet, fans in the United States should start checking their local cinemas and Fandango for listings for a one day showing for May 31st!
An updated re-interpretation of the original, legendary story by mangaka Shotaro Ishinomori, director and writer Anno ( Evangelion series, Shin Godzilla) has apparently succeeded in his creative vision for SHIN KAMEN RIDER, grossing ¥1.5 billion ($11.66 million) as of April 10, and loads of critical praise. It even got a few tweets recently from one of the only film reviewers this writer follows – Hideo Kojima. In the film, a man is kidnapped by a cult, known by the abbreviated name SHOCKER (Sustainable Happiness Organization with Computational Knowledge Embedded Remodeling), and transformed into a grasshopper based cyborg. He manages to escape, and is hunted by SHOCKER’s other augmented humans as they attempt to conquer the world.
Check out the trailer below, and keep a lookout for your chance to see this long awaited film!
