Hey folks, Harry here... I love TwitchFilm - they're the very best site online for links and info on strange foreign badass oddities and fun. Today - I went over there and saw the latest trailer for THE SINKING OF JAPAN - aka NIHON CHINBOTSU -- the latest Toho destruction of Japan epic. Though this time, it isn't MAN IN SUITS attacking this fair island country... rather it's a full fledged disaster epic of Tsunamis, Earthquakes and Super Volcanic Eruptions all resulting in the total obliteration of Japan. This is directed by Shinji Higuchi - The man responsible for special effects for films like THE PRINCESS BLADE, "GODZILLA, MOTHRA AND KING GHIDORAH GIANT MONSTERS ALL-OUT ATTACK", the 3 modern GAMERA films and more. He's also been the storyboard artist on the Evanelion anime series, along with the amazing CASSHERN. As well as the director of NADIA OF THE MYSTERIOUS SEAS and LORELEI: THE WITCH OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN. This seems to be an absolutely amazing looking film. Check out the trailers:

After that - if you're not excited... then, I'm sorry... you seem a bit dead. Can't wait!

Actually - this isn't a remake of DAY AFTER TOMORROW - actually... this is an adaptation of Shirô Moritani's 1973's SUBMERSION OF JAPAN... a Japanese novel from the age of Irwin Allen disaster pics. So though it might share imagery with modern American disaster films - it's just the effects tools of the day applied to 70's science fiction left unrealized till now.
