Teaser - Demeking

Live-action movie adaptation of Takashi Imashiro’s 1991 manga, Demeking, due out in March. Set in a dreary port town in 1970, the story revolves around a group of boys led by the older Kameoka (Kohei Kiyasu) who form their own exploration group. One day Kameoka meets a strange man named Hachiya (Takeshi Nadagi) who works at the local amusement park. Hachiya is convinced a vision of the future he experienced is real, and one day he will have to fight a giant monster called Demeking to stop it from destroying Tokyo. When the time comes, Hachiya suddenly up and leaves. However, with the guidance of a note he leaves behind, Kameoka and his friends set off on an adventure to discover the true nature of Demeking.

Apparently the manga has a pretty enthusiastic fanbase in Japan; one which includes “20th Century Boys” creator Naoki Urasawa who obviously gleaned a theme or two for his own work.
