GKIDS has acquired the U.S. distribution rights to “Labyrinth.”
“Labyrinth” is the first original feature-length anime film directed by Shoji Kawamori (“Macross,” “The Vision of Escaflowne”) with a screenplay by Taishi Hashimoto. The animated feature will be released in theaters for two nights only in Japanese with English subtitles and English-dubbed from May 10–11.
Atarashii Gakko’s Suzuka stars as Shiori Maezawa in her voice acting debut. Taizo Harada stars as “Komori” and Takuto Teranishi, from the boy group Timelesz, also makes his acting debut as Suguru Kagami.
The film follows Shiori, a typical high school student who dreams of online stardom, but struggles to capture attention. After an embarrassing video of her goes viral, she gets trapped in her smartphone and replaced by a charismatic alter ego. As the doppelganger charms the internet and devises a nefarious plot to replace mankind with brainrot, Shiori must partner with other online outcasts to stop her digital counterpart and reclaim her life in the real world.
Atarashii Gakko perform the film’s theme song “Sailor, Sail On,” with additional music by Yonkey.
“Labyrinth” is the first original feature film from legendary Kawamori, who is known for his electrifying fusion of pop music with science fiction.
