“Seek” Theatrical Poster
Shane Kosugi (9 Deaths of the Ninja, Pray for Death) will be making a directorial debut with Seek, an upcoming martial arts actioner that stars Kansuke Asano (Barashi Fight), as well as Shane’s brother, Kane Kosugi (Tekken 2: Kazuya’s Revenge, Zero Tolerance).
(For those who are not familiar with the Kosugi name, Shane and Kane’s father is the legendary Sho Kosugi, who became the main face of the 80s phenomenon known as the “ninja craze,” after a string of successful ninja movies for The Cannon Film Group, which included Enter the Ninja, Revenge of the Ninja and Ninja III: The Domination.)
In Seek, Kyohei Aizawa (Asano), an assassin for a covert non-governmental espionage group in Japan called “SEEK”, is grieving over the loss of his girlfriend from a tragic plane accident. The leader of “SEEK”, Ryo Mikumo (Nahara), contacts him for an emergency mission; save a fellow agent, recover a new highly explosive liquid called “RDX@”, stop a ruthless Yakuza leader, Sojiro Kotsuki (Kane Kosugi), and his gang before they take over Japan. Although the Ninjas were thought to have disappeared…the new breed of assassins live on helping to protect Japan and all that is right; the Ninjas are coming soon.
Seek also stars Mikako Yoshida (Angel Sign) and Masaki Miura (Outrage).
According to FCS, Seek is now poised for a premiere at the upcoming third edition of the International Motion Picture Film Festival which will be held at the Smodcastle Cinemas in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey.
We’re hoping for a release in some shape or form in U.S. Until then, don’s miss the film’s Trailer:

I had to Google this to convince myself it was real.
