It’s not all sunny days and green pastures on Mars, and especially not in a Miike Takashi film. His latest, Terraformars, is well on the way with yet what looms as another daring move into grit and gruesome manga lore by way of authors Tachibana Kenshi and Sasuga Yū circa 2011.
Alas, you can pretty much guess how it will all play out. If you know Miike with respect to the original source material, you know it’s gonna get absolutely off the chain in this one. Eiga.com has the second and latest poster for the film now availble below ahead of its Golden Week holiday release on April 29, 2016 (click here for the first poster and teaser).
Written by Kill la Kill scribe Nakashima Kazuki, Terraformars pits a team of soldiers against humanoid mutant cockroaches – the same ones incidentally used following a daring experiment to colonize Mars and save mankind from overpopulation on Earth. Ito Hideaki and Takei Saki star with the remainder of the roster slightly modified for an all-Japanese cast including Yamashita Tomohisa, Yamada Takayuki, Oguri Shun, Kosugi Kane, Kikuchi Rinko, Kato Masaya, Ohta Rina, Fukushima Rila and more.
In other news, ANN reports the next and 15th volume of the Shueisha manga will arrive on November 19, so for those interested, mark your calendars.
