A teaser trailer for the film "Zombie 1/2: Right Side of the Living Dead" (directed by Ota Erika), starring actor Yoshimura Sojiro, has been released.
"Zombie 1/2" is the second installment of "M CINEMA," a project run by the video production company Media Mix Japan, which gives young employees in their 20s and 30s the opportunity to produce a feature film. This unprecedented zombie film stars a "half-zombie," the only rational being in a world after the zombie pandemic has ended.
Ryuma Shingu (Yoshimura), the last remaining "half-zombie" working as an office worker, lives a normal life, wanting to "live without causing any trouble," but one day he bites a university student intern, Hazame-kun (Tanaka Kouki), and a zombie pandemic breaks out. The story goes that he is meant to fight to put an end to the chaos...
The trailer shows the peaceful daily life of the main character, Shingu, who has turned into a half-zombie in a suit, suddenly turned upside down when a news anchor announces that "half-zombies have turned into zombies," followed by screams and a tense development... The trailer also reveals the existence of a utopia called "The Healing Half-Zombie House" spoken of by the mysterious man Hiiringu (played by Daito Shunsuke), and a new conflict structure of "zombie vs. half-zombie." Still images have also been released.
The film will be released in advance at Kineka Omori (Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo) on March 20th.
