Trailer For The WWII Yamato Warship Film THE GREAT WAR OF ARCHIMEDES
Well Go USA has released a trailer for Toho’s Japanese World War II drama The Great War of Archimedes. The movie is based on the 2015 manga series Archimedes no Taisen, which tells the true story of the behind-the-scenes struggles that the Japanese Navy had while building the Yamato Warship, which was the largest battleship in the world, prior to WWII.
I’m sure many of you are familiar with the anime series Space Battleship Yamato, but this is the real story behind the Yamato warship that actually existed. The movie was actually directed by Takashi Yamazaki of Space Battleship Yamato.
Pre-World War II, the Japanese Navy commissioned the design and creation of the impressive "supership" Yamato, strongly opposed by a top official insisting on more strategic and battle-ready warships. After being ignored without cause, Admiral Yamamoto (Hiroshi Tachi) recruits a math genius to help uncover what he soon suspects is a massive conspiracy.
The movie stars Suda Masaki, Emoto Tasuku, Hamabe Minami, Shofukutei Tsurube, Kobayashi Katsuya, and Hiroshi Tachi as Admiral Yamamoto.
The movie already opened in Japan back in the summer of 2019. Well Go USA will release the movie direct-to-VOD in the US on June 15th, 2021.
