The official website for Tokyo! was updated yesterday with a few new sections and a short production footage teaser trailer. The film features 3 short films taking place in Tokyo but directed by non-natives.
Joon-ho Bong’s film, Shaking Tokyo is about a 10-year recluse (Teruyuki Kagawa) who falls in love with his pizza delivery girl (Yu Aoi) and gets flushed out of his apartment by an earthquake.
Michel Gondry directs the highly metaphorical Interior Design in which Ayako Fujitani plays a girl who moves to Tokyo to live with her boyfriend (Ryo Kase), but when she feels useless she begins to slowly transform into a wooden chair - a condition that oddly causes her great relief from her recent frustration.
Finally Leos Carax directs Merde, a story about a strange man (Denis Lavant) who appears from the sewers, horrifying nearby citizens like a phantom. However, when an incident occurs and he gets arrested, his trial sparks mixed feelings about what should happen to him.
Teaser after the break.
Still no solid release date but it should be sometime in 2008.
