"Library Wars" Japanese Theatrical Poster
Preposterous but interesting – such is the premise for Library Wars, the new film from the acclaimed director of the live-action Gantz films and Princess Blade. This Japanese-language movie is based on a popular novel that ended up spawning a manga and anime series.
Taking a page from Ray Bradbury’s classic novel Fahrenheit 451, the movie is set in the near future in which Japan’s government organizes an armed military unit who are allowed to find and destroy any offensive publications. A rogue group known as the Library Force rises up to stop them in the name of free speech and creative expression. The teaser trailer for Sato Shinsuke’s Library Wars is online now.
Update: Here’s the new full-length trailer!
