🦈 Get Ready for a Splash: Hot Spring Shark Attack Hits Theaters! 🌊
Hold onto your floating noodles! Hot Spring Shark Attack is making waves in the horror-comedy genre, and it’s landing in theaters and on streaming platforms starting July 11. Following its raucous debut at the 2024 Tokyo International Shark Film Festival, where it snagged the Audience Award, this film is finally coming to the U.S. wave, and let’s just say, it’s fin-tastically exciting!
🎬 Meet the Visionary Behind the Madness
Morihito Inoue is riding high on his feature directorial debut with this wild ride. Not only does he helm the project, but he also penned the screenplay. The talented cast features familiar faces like Takuya Fujimura from One Cut of the Dead and Daniel Aguilar from Shin Godzilla, alongside a slew of other incredible performers ready to deliver laughs and chills.
🦈 The Plot? Pure Shark-tastic Mayhem!
Imagine a quaint Japanese hot spring town, the kind of place that feels like a postcard—serene and inviting. Now throw in a “ferocious ancient shark” that awakens to wreak havoc! The townsfolk must band together, armed with nothing but bravery (and perhaps a little bit of humor), to confront this toothy terror. Think laughter mixed with suspense—perfect for fans of both genres!
🤩 Inoue’s Excitement: A Global Wave of Sharkness!
Inoue has palpable enthusiasm for the film’s release, especially given the rise of shark flicks in Japan. “Shark movies are all the rage over here, but trust me, we need more,” he quipped. He’s optimistic about the U.S. audience discovering his work, especially since viewers unfamiliar with the genre have been captivated by it at home.
🎟️ Catch It First! Special Preview Screenings Await!
If you just can’t wait to dive in, special preview screenings are set for July 9 at select Alamo Drafthouse cinemas across the nation. The official theatrical release on July 11 will include extended runs and special engagements in prime locations like:
