Teaser - Assault Girls

Here’s the first teaser for Mamoru Oshii‘s live-action film, Assault Girls, the feature-length follow-up to his previous short films “Assault Girl: Kentucky no Hinako” and “Assault Girl 2”, both of which were part of omnibus action movies (2007’s “Shin Onna Tachiguishi Retsuden” and 2008’s “Kiru ~ Kill”, respectively).

Plot: In the aftermath of global thermonuclear war, the Earth’s surface has been turned into a desert battlefield. Three beautiful female hunters: Gray (Meisa Kuroki), Lucifer (Rinko Kikuchi), and Colonel (Hinako Saeki)  traverse the barren landscape armed with powerful assault rifles to fight a group of deadly sand-dwelling monsters called “sunakujira” (sand whales). When the the epic battle eventually seems to be coming to an end, the sparkle of muzzle flash dies down and assault ship flies overhead. Suddenly, a gigantic super mutation called “Madara Sunakujira” attacks.

Tokyo Theatres Co., Inc. will be releasing “Assault Girls” at Theatre Shinjuku and Ikebukuro Theatre Daiya on December 19, 2009 with more national dates to follow.

it seems to have a certain “feel” resemblance to CASSHERN, which I kinda liked. Plus, Rinko Kikuchi~~~

I recently saw Brothers Bloom (was pretty good), but I heard it’s not coming out on DVD until next year… sighs. Lots of waiting.

The CGI art looks a bit, you know, unconvincing?

I actually think the whales and assault ship look pretty cool. They just need to redo that weird shatter effect with something more realistic.
