Dark Star Pictures is about to release the Japanese thriller MISSING in the States. It will receive a theatrical premiere in select cities, followed by VOD and Blu-Ray releases later in the month.
Santoshi has had a run of bad luck. First his wife dies, then he runs up a massive debt he can’t pay off. But he has the perfect solution, he tells his daughter: bounty hunting! He’ll track down and turn in the notorious serial killer known only as “NO NAME” and reap the cash reward. “Oh, the Ranger won’t like this, Yogi,” the girl starts to say, but her dad has already run off.
But then he doesn’t come back. Fearing the worst, she has to begin hunting the killer herself — her only hope in finding the whereabouts of her father.
MISSING stars Aoi Ito, Hiroya Shimizu, Misato Morita and Jirô Satô, and was directed by Shinzô Katayama. You’ll be able to find MISSING playing on the big screen in New York (Film Noir, Brooklyn), Los Angeles (Laemmle Glendale), Cleveland (Gateway) and other major cities on November 4, and if you’re not near any of those, the VOD release will happen on November 18, followed by the Blu-Ray on December 6.
Depressed and in debt following the death of his wife, Santoshi (Jiro Sato) tells his young daughter he has found a way out. Pointing to a reward note, he vows to find the infamous serial killer “No Name” (Hiroya Shimizu) and cash in, claiming to have seen the man in the flesh a few days earlier. Kaeda (Aoi Ito) cannot take her aloof father serious. But when he goes missing without a trace, she starts to fear the worst—and must begin looking for him.
