The New Teaser For Crows EXPLODE Is Online
Filmmaker Toshiyaki Toyoda aims to please fans of Japanese cinema with the upcoming 2014 release of Crows Explode. The film is the third installment of the film franchise that began in 2007, based on the hit manga series created by Hiroshi Takahasi. The recent announcement came prior to filming, which began on April 2, 2013, with an expected 2014 release.
The film is a reassuring promise that Japanese cinema will continue to rock and roll with this latest production, once again set in Suzuran High, Japan’s most dangerous boys’ school where delinquent behavior, violent tendencies and major testosterone overload are the set up for constant battles for territory, bragging rights and civil wars with rival schools.
Crows EXPLODE will star Masahiro Higashide as Kaburagi, the protagonist of the story who transfers into the school, ultimately to face Ryohei Kagami (played by Taichi Saotome), as they both vie for the top spot of Suzuran under the towering supremacy of third year student Tora Gora, (played by Yuga Yugira) who takes the reins after Genji Takiya and Tamao Serizawa graduate from Suzuran. Takiya and Serizawa were originally played by actors Shun Ogiri and Takayuki Yamada in the previous films, directed by Takashi Miike.
Ryo Katsuji, Takanori Iwata, Elly, Yuya Endo, Shuntaro Yanagi, Kenzo, Itsuji Itao, Reina Asami, Saki Takaoka and Kento Nagayama also star. In addition, the film will also see actors Kyosuke Yabe as Ken Katagari, Motoki Fukami as Megumi Hayashida and Tsutomu Takahashi reprising their roles.
It’s still early in the game for the production from what I have read so far, but this promotional teaser is tasty as hell. Watch it HERE or in the embed below.
