We’re excited to announce that Project Itoh’s Genocidal Organ is coming to select theaters across the United States, July 12th & 13th!
Mark your calendars, and stay tuned for more ticket and movie information coming soon!
Based on the captivating sci-fi novel by Project Itoh, Genocidal Organ takes an introspective look at a post-9/11 future, exploring freedom, security, and a bizarre shift in terrorism throughout the world.
After a homemade bomb decimates Sarajevo, developed countries rely on advanced surveillance to free them from the threat of terrorism. But while the United States enjoys heightened security, the nations it once considered threatening are mysteriously plagued by genocide within their own borders. Strangely, these massacres all link back to one American by the name of John Paul. Special agent Clavis Shepherd is sent to capture the elusive target, but even with combat meds to numb the pain and a life rooted in the bliss of ignorance, nothing can prepare this soldier—or the world—for the truth behind humanity’s darkness.
Genocidal Organ is the final film of Project Itoh’s trio of works to hit North American theaters.
Will there be an English dub, or is this in the original Japanese?
Man, if ONLY I could see this movie! It was originally the work of Manglobe Co (Samurai Shampoo, Michiko & Hatchin, Samurai Flamenco, Deadman Wonderland (anime version), Ergo Proxy, etc.) but since it filled for bankrupty on September 2015, this project got delayed again and again (and Geno Studio took over the project).
The coolest thing about this “change” was that the director & writer (Shukou Murase) as well as some core member of the production team from Manglobe were hired on the project.
For those who don’t know, Shukou Murase worked as the director on Witch Hunter Robin and Gansta and also worked as either the animation director, key animator or character designer of many Gundam work and some Final Fantasy (such as the FFIX character designs).
Sill, too bad it doesn’t run in theaters around my location. At best, I might be able to buy the DVD/Blurays in 1-2 years… or watch it in steams somewhere like on Netflix, here (Funimation) or on Chrunchyroll after 2-3 years.
