"A movie like this will never be made again!" Toho in Japan has unveiled a brand new trailer for the 4K re-release of a cult classic that few have seen titled The Man Who Stole the Sun. Originally released in 1979 in Japan, this film has been making a big comeback recently as a subversive, bonkers, Japanese New Wave favorite about a guy who builds an atomic bomb in his apartment and declares war on the state. Yes for real! A high school science teacher is the butt of all his students' jokes, until their bus is hijacked on a school trip. But something more sinister lurks beneath the surface: he's building an atomic bomb in his apartment. On October 6th, 1979, the legendary The Man Who Stole the Sun—a film that left an indelible mark on Japanese cinematic history—premiered. The film returns to Reiwa-era screens in a 4K digital remaster this October exactly 47 years later. Starring Kenji Sawada as Makoto Kido & Bunta Sugawara as the police inspector trying to stop him, along with Kimiko Ikegami, Kazuo Kitamura, Shigeru Kamiyama, Kei Sato, Yunosuke Ito, Morio Kazama, Toshiyuki Nishida, and Yutaka Mizutani.
