I Am a Hero by Kengo Hanazawa has been a huge hit and was even named as the best zombie manga series of all time by Anime News Network. So the fact that it’s being given the live-action treatment comes as no surprise. It’s being directed by Shinsuke Sato, who’s also helming the new Death Note movie, which we’re also hyped for.
I Am a Hero premiered at the Sitges Film Festival in October and will be released in Japan on April 23, 2016.
Synopsis:
One day, after returning from work late in the evening, Hideo (Yô Ôizumi) witnesses a traffic accident in which a car crashes into a nearby pedestrian, killing the victim instantly. However, despite severe injuries including a broken neck, the victim’s body stands up and walks away. Hideo questions whether this is another one of his hallucinations, but then strange events begin happening around him.
