On 7 October, Japan finally gets to enjoy Jason Bourne, the latest instalment in the Bourne movie series, and ahead of the movie’s release our Japanese reporters were lucky enough to enjoy some time with Matt Damon.
Here’s our first real preview of the Scarlett Johansson film based on the critically acclaimed anime and manga franchise.
Makoto Shinkai and Hayao Miyazaki have vastly different directorial styles, but soon they’ll have a connection that’s unique among anime creators.
Super hard-working director Makoto Shinkai would definitely be proud of this guy.
All the things anime fans have come to expect from the acclaimed director are present and accounted for, but is that enough?
The King of the Monsters has his cinema dominance challenged by hit anime Your Name, and it won’t be the first time he’s been defeated by a movie with that title.
It’s yet to be seen how Japan will react to the antihero movie itself, but cosplayers are already warming up to one member of the antihero ensemble.
The iconic monster is creating a huge blast at the box office in Japan — much bigger than expected!
Famous for his ability to demolish buildings, the King of the Monsters would also be pretty adept at wrecking Japan’s finances.
Gen Urobuchi is penning script for the King of the Monsters’ first-ever animated theatrical feature.
