Sentai Filmworks Licenses Dai-kaiju Mono Live-Action Film

2016 film stars pro wrestler Kōta Ibushi

Section23 Films announced in its August release slate on Tuesday that its Sentai Filmworks imprint will release the live-action film Dai-kaiju Mono on Blu-ray Disc on August 14.


Sentai Filmworks describes the story:

Things aren't looking good in Japan. The weather is acting strangely, volcanoes that don't normally erupt are erupting, and… oh yes… the giant monster Mono is running amuck and gobbling up the human population. What a nuisance! Fortunately, disgraced Doctor Totaro Saigo thinks he has the solution: a special formula that can be injected into a normal human, causing the injectee to grow into a colossus of Tokyo-skyscraper-stomping proportions! With any luck, that means the good doctor's lab assistant Nitto will be able to take on Mono, hand to claw, in “mano a Mono” combat! Yes, the plan is every bit as insane as it sounds, and the logic of the plot will be stretched as thin as the fabric of Nitto's ultra-stretchy briefs when the ultimate human vs. Monster Wrestling match erupts in DAI-KAIJU MONO!

The film debuted in Japan in July 2016. It stars professional wrestler Kōta Ibushi.
