Scientists Try to Trap Cockroaches in Bizarre Promotional Video for Miike’s Terra Formars

default-featured-image

Despite being directed by the great Takashi Miike, the sci-fi manga adaptation Terra Formars was slaughtered by critics like an exterminator slaughters bugs and underperformed at the Japanese box office, opening in seventh place and taking a total of $5,512,622.

We still don’t know when, if at all, it will be released overseas (there’s still a ton of Japanese movies we want to see which haven’t yet been released in the West), but we’ve got a look at one hell of a weird teaser for the film, in which scientists create a sticky surface to catch the menacing giant cockroaches. Sticky enough to trap sumo wrestlers, it seems. Have a look at this bizarre piece of viral marketing below.
