First Look at Live Action GANTZ
A 15-second TV spot for the upcoming live action adaptation of Gantz has been broadcast on the Nippon Network Television of Japan and thankfully, a viewer have captured it and uploaded it on Youtube.  In the video, we get our first brief glimpse at the mysterious black sphere known as "Gantz", accompany with the "participants" wearing the black enhancement suit.

Budgeted at $45 million US, the film is based on Hiroya Oku's bestselling sci-fi action manga that tells the story of a "young Tokyo college student who is reanimated after a deadly subway accident. Kei Kurono and his friend Katou Masaru go on violent, seemingly endless missions at the behest of an unseen host."  As mention in our earlier report, it will be split into two parts with director Shinsuke Sato (The Princess Blade) on the helm and the two main characters, Kei and Katou, being played by J-popstar Kazunari Ninomiyais and Kenichi Matsuyama respectively. 

The film is currently in production.  Toho plans to tentatively release the first part in the winter of early 2011 while the second part will follow in the spring.
