"Gantz" going to France and other countries
The live-action "GANTZ" movies, starring Kazunari Ninomiya (27) and Kenichi Matsuyama (25), are reportedly getting screened overseas. The first country confirmed is France, though an exact date has not been announced. It also not yet clear whether it will be a limited screening or a theatrical run.
"GANTZ," which is based on a sci-fi manga by Hiroya Oku, is being released as two films. The first is scheduled to open in Japan in early 2011, followed by the second movie in the spring.
Negotiations for a screening in France started in May during the Cannes Film Festival, and a deal was successfully made in mid-June. It has also reportedly been decided that the films will be shown in Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Indonesia.
