Get creeped out by the official site for Hitoshi Iwamoto's "MW"

by Chris MaGee

Not much has leaked out about Hitoshi Iwamoto's film adaptation of Osamu Tezuka's dark manga "MW". I just realized what I said there, and for a story about the aftermath of an accidental leak of a poisonous gas and the revenge sought by its only surviving victims I could have phrased that a bit differently. Oh well...

So, there hasn't been that much news online (that's better) about the film except the initial announcement of the project in June and a couple of spoiler images of stars Hiroshi Tamaki and Takayuki Yamada as the psychopathic young man who wants to unleash the killer MW gas on an unsuspecting world and his Catholic priest accomplice.

And the news today is that there's not that much more news, but the official website has been jazzed up with some very creepy flash animation. It looks like they're really going for a grim disaster movie feel for this. Steep yourself in doom and gloom by clicking here.
