The Shock Labyrinth

8/26/09 - Takashi Shimizu is directing The Shock Labyrinth, a 3-D live-action movie that takes place in a theme park near Mount Fuji and follows a group of teens dealing with the shocking return of a friend they had assumed to be dead, according to The Hollywood Reporter.  "The production represented a great challenge in creating a brand new way of expressing fear and telling a dramatic story via the medium of 3-D film. I hope as many of you as possible will find yourselves trapped in my labyrinth and enjoy the experience," he said.  The film is in post-production, having begun principal photography in early July.  Produced by Ogura Jimusyo's Satoru Ogura, Asmik Ace's Masayuki Tanishima and Dai Miyazaki, Shock features Japan's up-and-coming young actors including Yuya Yagira, Misako Renbutsu, Ryo Katsuji, Ai Maeda and Erina Mizuno, and Suzuki Matsuo. The script is by Daisuke Hosaka.
