Following a teaser earlier this year, a full trailer has been released by distributor Shochiku for the Japanese remake of the 1997 cult contained horror classic “Cube”.
Filmmaker Vincenzo Natali (TV’s “Hannibal,” “In the Tall Grass”) broke out with the original in which six people are trapped in a maze of cubed rooms designed to kill them.
The survivors needs to work together to find a safe passage through the cubes while trying to figure out why they were put there.
Lionsgate has been planning a reimagining of the franchise but made little progress. Shimizu Yasuhiko helms this version which stars Suda Masaki, Okada Masaki, Tashiro Hikaru and Saito Takumi.
Natali serves as a creative advisor while Tokuo Koji adapted the script for this new take and the trailer indicates its recreating the original fairly closely. The new “Cube” will open in Japan on October 22nd.
