Well, that's a pretty valid question, no? There has to be some fun to be had in the inferno! On tap for you lovers of foreign horror is the first teaser trailer for Sono Sion's next flick, Why Don't You Play in Hell? It's here and is just as nuts as it sounds.
With Why Don't You Play in Hell? (or Jigoku de naze warui? for you purists out there), Sono (Love Exposure, Suicide Club) has returned to and improved an over ten-year-old screenplay he wrote; its underlying theme is "the love for 35mm film."
Jun Kunimura, Shinichi Tsutsumi, Hiroki Hasegawa, Gen Hoshino, Fumi Nikaido, and Tomochika all star. The film opens in Japan on September 28th.
