Japan announces release date
An official site launched recently for Blood: The Last Vampire. The catch: It’s in Japanese, also, what you’ll find here is merely a teaser at this time. Bookmark it and keep checking back.
Chris Nahon’s adaptation of the popular Manga may be hitting the UK on June 12th, but Japan will premiere it first on May 28th.
Actress Gianna Jun slips into the skin of Saya a 400-year-old halfling who uses her skills to eradicate vampires. When she is sent onto an American military base in Tokyo by the clandestine organization she works for, Saya immediately senses that this may be her opportunity to finally destroy Onigen, the evil patriarch of all vampires. Using her superhman strength and her sword, she begins to rid the base of its evil infestation in a series of spectacular and elaborate showdowns. However, it is not until she forms her first human friendship in centuries with the young daughter of the base’s general that Saya learns of her greatest power over Onigen may well be her ability for human connection…
Universal Pictures reportedly owns the U.S. distribution rights. Hopefully we’ll hear what the studio has planned for it very soon.
