“You’re hurt. That’s why I’m here.” Sony Pictures has unveiled the first look teaser trailer for the next new animated adventure made by Mamoru Hosoda (of the films The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars, Wolf Children, The Boy and the Beast, Mirai, Belle) titled Scarlet, arriving in theaters in December later this year. It’s already set to premiere at the 2025 Venice Film Festival in one month from today – and open in Japanese theaters first this November. Hosoda’s Scarlet follows the story of a brave princess who transcends time and space. Also known as Scarlet Without Limits or Endless Scarlet in Japan, is an isekai-adjacent tale about a princess named Scarlet, voiced by Mana Ashida (from Children of the Sea). After her father, the king, is murdered, she leaps across space & time to get revenge. But finds herself in the “Land of the Dead”, where those who fail to fulfill quests for vengeance risk disappearing into nothingness. Along the way, she meets a modern-day Japanese man named Hijiri (voiced by Masaki Okada) who aids her in her perilous quest. Yep it looks like yet another magnificently epic adventure from Hosoda, featuring a distinct animation style – which reminds me of Nimona. You can translate the subs into English to watch the teaser. // Continue Reading ›
