First Tiger Mask Movie Teaser

The homepage for director Ken Ochiai’s forthcoming live-action Tiger Mask feature film has added its first teaser trailer. The adaptation of Ikki Kajiwara’s classic 1968-1971 pro-wrestling manga stars singer/actor Eiji Wentz as Naoto Date/Tiger Mask, Natsuna Watanabe (Kimi ni Todoke, Gantz) as Ruriko, and Show Aikawa (Tokyo Zombie, Zebraman) as Mister X. The reboot of the vintage franchise, obviously, drastically updates the design of the classic Tiger Mask costume. The film will hit Japanese theaters in November.

This just seems so heavily inspired by Dark Knight Rises and so far removed from the original Tiger Mask designs that I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
