GANTZ Movie to be released in America

Ninomiya Kazunari from Arashi and actor Matsuyama Kenichi made an appearance at the premiere screening for the upcoming movie “GANTZ” at the Tokyo JCB Hall earlier today. The movie is scheduled to open in Japanese theaters on January 29, 2011.

During the press conference, there was a special announcement that the movie “GANTZ” will also be released in the United States on January 20, 2011. Altogether, the movie will open in 300 theaters across America. They also announced that “GANTZ” will be released in the United States one week earlier than Japan.

After the announcement was made, Ninomiya commented, “There are so many people in the world who love GANTZ, and GANTZ fans will be happy… its a great thing.”
Matsuyama commented, “I wonder why the movie will be released in America first. I don’t understand why Japan is later, but this will be a great opportunity.”

The second part of “GANTZ” will be released on April 23rd, 2011. Gantz is based on Oku Hiroya’s manga of the same title, which follows the lives of two male students who were involved in a train accident but were brought back to life by GANTZ.
