September is just around the corner and anticipation for REEL ANIME 2010 is at fever pitch. Featuring some of the hottest animated features, direct from Japan, the Reel Anime festival is an exciting showcase and your only chance to catch this much eye-popping anime on the big screen. The REEL ANIME 2010 program begins September 2nd and is in cinemas nationally for a strictly limited two week season.
SUMMER WARS
A quirky, beautifully animated tale from the creators of THE GIRL WHO LEAPT THROUGH TIME, the breakaway hit of Reel Anime 2008, delivers a lavish and unforgettable experience that rivals the best that Studio Ghibli has to offer.
EVANGELION 2.0: YOU CAN [NOT] ADVANCE
The epic rebuild of the NEON GENESIS EVANGELION saga continues in this second feature film, taking us in a frightening, thrilling and cinematically stunning new direction and featuring all-new characters, including Maki, an Eva pilot, plus new Evangelion units.
REDLINE
A world exclusive to REEL ANIME 2010, screening before its theatrical debut in Japan, REDLINE is about the biggest and most deadly racing tournament in the universe. A white knuckle ride to smash the senses, REDLINE is “the most insanely exciting, visually exhilarating anime film you’ve seen in decades. Incredible fun.” (Anime News Network). It leaves Hollywood efforts such as SPEED RACER choking on its exhaust, and in a post-modern style, recalls the heyday of edgy, cult anime features of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s.
KING OF THORN
KING OF THORN is an action horror-thriller that, true to form, will keep you gripped and guessing on who will make it out alive. KING OF THORN makes its Australian premiere at Reel Anime 2010.
The strictly limited two-week season hits most capitals in September and tickets are available now for all sessions. Purchase a “Season Pass” and receive a limited edition Japanese SUMMER WARS poster. |
