A Clip From Tsukamoto's TETSUO: THE BULLET MAN

With the Japanese release of Shinya Tsukamoto's Tetsuo: The Bullet Man just around the corner, the distributor has provided Gigazine an exclusive trailer containing an additional clip attached in the beginning and some behind-the-scenes pics taken by lead actor Eric Bossick himself who also happens to be a professional photographer.

Calm office worker Anthony, son of an American father and a Japanese mother, lives in Tokyo with his wife, Yuriko, and their little son Tom. Since Anthony's mother died of cancer, his scientist father has been overly fearful for his son's and grandson's health and rigidly subjects Anthony and Tom to monthly physicals.

Walking home one day, Tom is killed in a hit and run before Anthony's eyes. Losing their boy pushes Yuriko over the edge and triggers violent emotions in Anthony, whose body begins to transform. Little by little, his cells turn into iron. When the driver who killed Tom reappears and Anthony learns the truth about his father's past experiments on human guinea pigs and about his mother's death, Anthony mutates into a mass of metal--a human weapon fueled by an uncontrollable rage.

The cyberpunk film hits the theaters in Japan on May 22nd. You'll find the "special" trailer embedded below.
