(Head Office: 3331 Arts Chiyoda, 6-11-14 Sotokanda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo \/ Representative: Junya Okabe) has produced the movie &lt; BRAVESTORM &gt;,<br \/>\nfeaturing Silver Mask &amp; Super Robot Red Baron, two popular heroes from special effects programs aired between 1971 &#8211; 1973.<br \/>\nIt is a complete remake of the program bedecked with the latest special effect technology.<br \/>\nPrior to the screening in cinemas, BLAST has launched a crowdfunding project to raise fund for promotions &amp; advertisements for the movie.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u25cf official website:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bravestorm.jp\/bravestorm_en.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> http:\/\/www.bravestorm.jp\/bravestorm_en<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u25cf Crowdfunding page:<br \/>\n\uff08\u203bCrowdfunding was closed on August 20.<br \/>\nThank you very much for your support.)<\/p>\n<p>The producer BLAST is a visual production company founded by Junya Okabe, former representative director &amp; vice president of Tsuburaya Productions. BLAST chose to produce the film independently, instead of establishing a production partnership. The production was joined by brilliant talents like Skan Srisuwan (mechanical design), one of Asia&#8217;s best mechanical designer who also works with Marvel characters&#8217; famed creator, Stan Lee. Takayuki Takeya, Japan&#8217;s leading model sculptor in charge of designing Shin Godzilla, designed creatures. Sound tracks &amp; effects were commissioned to Mike Verta, the sound producer of the film, Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legend, for which Junya Okabe oversaw the production, scenario-writing, and visual supervision. The outcome is a quality &amp; originality unprecedented in the special effect industry.<\/p>\n<p>The film is slated for screening across Japan in Autumn 2017 following the premiere at TOHO Cinemas Ueno, a new theater opening around the same time. Taking this opportunity, the production team is planning to raise awareness beyond the special effect fans to reach out to regular audience not particularly interested in Japanese special effect movies. This resulted in the launch of a crowd-funding project, which aims to further raise fund for promotional and advertisement activities.<\/p>\n<p>The project will take place from July 20 to August 20, with the target amount set at 15,000,000 yen. Support courses include complementary tickets for previews, limited edition of the making of the movie (e-book), BD with special gifts, and inclusion of the supporter&#8217;s name in the credit roll.<br \/>\nFor corporate supporters, an optional course offers replacement of signboards with their corporate names in Red Baron&#8217;s battle scene in Ginza, in addition to the inclusion of corporate sponsor names in the credit roll.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u226aPlot\u226b<\/strong><br \/>\nBy 2050, the humans have been nearly extinct.<br \/>\nAmong a handful of survivors, the five brothers of Kasuga family [Shunsuke Daito, Chihiro Yamamoto, Soran Tamoto, Mitsu Dan, and Koichi Kasuga] plan to travel back in time to eliminate the Kyrgyz before they launch the invasion of the Earth. Combining the design data of a giant robot stolen from the Kyrgyz together with three aiding powers, namely the alien detector glasses, psychic abilities, &amp; &#8220;Silver,&#8221; the power augmenting suit, the brothers time-travel to Year 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Upon arrival in the past, the brothers contact Kenichiro Kurenai [Hisashi Yoshizawa], a robotics expert, and plead him to build the giant robot, Red Baron. Kenichiro accepts the request on one condition.<\/p>\n<p>Ken Kurenai [Shu Watanabe], the brother of Kenichiro &amp; a hotheaded boxer, finds himself involved in a fierce battle as the reluctant pilot of Red Baron, with the survival of the Earth at stake.<br \/>\nEpic battles between the alien vs. augmented human &amp; a giant robot vs. another giant robot unfolds in Tokyo!<\/p>\n<p><a
