Mankind Fights Back In The New Trailer For TERRAFORMARS
There was once a time when fans thought that a live-action adaptation of the hit manga, TerraFormars, was a pretty bad idea, and even the depictions of the aliens in the manga seemed a bit disagreeable in the eyes of the manga fan public.

SYNOPSIS: 48-year-old Wataru Honjo (Toshiaki Karasawa) is a big fan of Bruce Lee and works as a suit actor (stunts performer wearing costumes). He is also president of “Shimoachiai Hero Action […]
