Trailer - Deep Sea Monster Raiga

The full trailer has finally been released for Deep Sea Monster Raiga, the followup to Shinpei Hayashiya’s 2005 daikaiju movie “Deep Sea Monster Reigo”. This one is set 60 years after the original, in modern-day Tokyo. Global warming causes the southern polar ice cap to gradually melt, disrupting the ecosystem and luring ancient sea monsters to Japan. Eventually an enormous sea beast called Raiga enters Asakusa via the Sumida River and begins wreaking havoc on the buildings there.

The film is set to screen as part of an All-night event called “Tokusatsu Kaiju Tengoku” (literally “SFX Monster Heaven”) on June 27, 2009 at Ikebukuro’s Shin-Bungeiza theater. The other films being screened include Hayashiya’s Deep Sea Monster Reigo, Masaaki Tezuka’s Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S., and Keita Amemiya’s Zeiram. There will also be a 40-minute talk with the three directors.
