The live-action Tokyo Ghoul movie gets a new trailer and a UK release date

This adaptation of Tokyo Ghoul is a live-action Japanese horror fantasy film based on the popular manga series of the same name by Sui Ishida.

Buried in books and a quiet life, Ken Kaneki is all but dead to the world in an age where flesh-eating ghouls live among us. But when his only chance for survival is an organ donation that turns him into a ghoul-human hybrid, he finds sanctuary at Anteiku — a cafe run by the people he once considered monsters. Targeted by anti-ghoul forces, this safe house is up against a hunger more sickening than their own. When their most innocent members are threatened by humanity’s taste for vengeance, Kaneki will risk life and limb to protect the very world that changed his own.

Directed by Kentaro Hagiwara, the film stars Masataka Kubota, Fumika Shimizu, Yu Aoi, Nobuyuki Suzuki, Yo Oizumi, and Shunya Shiraishi.

It will be in UK cinemas on 31st January.
