Here is the full trailer for the live action adaptation of the classic anime and manga from the 1960s, The Tiger Mask.
In
the adaptation we can expect Eiji Wentz as the hero, Natsuna Watanebe as the
heroine, Ruriko and Show Aikawa as Mister X.
Anime
News Network got a little bit more on the film:
"Tiger
Mask" is the alter ego of the character Naoto Date, a pro wrestler who
goes against an evil wrestling organization and fights for children in an
orphanage. In the new setup for the film, Date dons a special suit and
"transforms" into Tiger Mask with enhanced mobility and muscle strength.
His mask has also been redesigned with a nod to American comic action heroes
such as Spider-Man and Batman.
As
an origin story for children who have never read the manga, the film will
devote about one third of its screen time to Date’s roots in the evil wrestling
training organization Tora no Ana (before he turned his back on the
organization). Wentz acknowledged that he himself had not read the read the
original manga at first, and added that the film is creating a new Tiger Mask
with a new Naoto Date”
The
film is schedule to open on November in Japan, but we bet it will eventually
find its way to the rest of the World's cinemas.
