The first teaser for Orochi: Blood was so incredibly lame and pointless that it makes the new full trailer that came out yesterday (see below) all the more noteworthy, simply for having actual footage. Based on a 1969 Kazuo Umezu manga, “Orochi” tells the story of two sisters, Kazusa and her younger sister Risa . A mysterious girl named Orochi (Mitsuki Tanimura) arrives at their home while they’re still young and observes as their mother (Yoshino Kimura), a famous actress, pushes them to become artists like her. She knows she has limited time to accomplish this goal because all Monzen women suddenly turn hideous at the age of 29.
Orochi is an ageless being who must sleep every 100 years. However, when she saves Miss Monzen from an accident her sleep is trigger prematurely. When she awakens decades later she discovers Kazusa (also played by Kimura) is now being taken care of by Risa (Noriko Nakagoshi), but things don’t seem quite right between them.
"Orochi" opens on September 20, 2008.
