Toho has unveiled the official trailer for “Exit 8“, which will be a Japanese movie that is based on the recent cult hit indie video game.
The film depicts a man who is trapped in a sterile subway passageway that is endless. He sets out to find ‘Exit 8’ – the sole exit out of this confusing labyrinth.
His quest has a simple set of rules: don’t overlook anything out of the ordinary. If you come across an anomaly, take immediate action. If you don’t, keep moving forward. Then exit ‘Exit 8’.
If he makes even one mistake, it will bring him back to the beginning. Can he ever achieve his goal and escape from this endless corridor? An eight-minute standing ovation followed the film’s premiere at Cannes in May. Eight reviews have been posted on Rotten Tomatoes, and all of them are positive.
The movie will debut in Japan on August 29th, followed by its release in the U.S. at a later date. Genki Kawamura has created a 95-minute film that stars Kazunari Ninomiya, Yamato Kochi, Nauru Asanuma, Kotone Hanase, and Nana Komatsu.
