The official website for the upcoming original video horror/drama release Keitai Kanojo has been updated with a trailer. The OV was directed by Mari Asato (Ju-on: Black Ghost) and stars Airi Suzuki of the J-pop unit °C-ute.
As previously reported by Tokyograph, this is based on a cell phone novel of the same name and is a follow-up to Keitai Kareshi, which was turned into a movie starring Umika Kawashima in 2009.
The sequel is set six months after the events of the first film. A cell phone dating simulation game called “Keitai Kanojo” has picked up where “Keitai Kareshi” left off and the image of a girl named Erika (played by Gravure Japan 2010 winner Seika Taketomi) is discovered on the cell phone of a man who dies violently. Suzuki plays a high school student who’s also named Erika and happens to look like the girl on the phone. The Erika on the cell phone spreads from phone to phone claiming more victims, eventually reaching a classmate of the real-life Erika.
Geneon Universal will be releasing"Keitai Kanojo” on DVD on April 6, 2011. It’s up for pre-order at CDJapan and YesAsia. The disc includes a making-of featurette and interviews, but no subtitles.
